Conductive layer 34P on core substrate 30 is formed in the thickness of 30µm and a conductor circuit 58 on interlayer resin insulation layer 50 is formed in the thickness of 15µm. By thickening the conductive layer 34P, the volume of the conductor can be increased and resistance can be reduced. Further, by using the conductive layer 34 as a power source layer, the capacity of supply of power to an IC chip can be improved.

An interconnect module for an integrated circuit chip incorporates a thin, high dielectric constant embedded capacitor structure to provide reduced power distribution impedance, and thereby promote higher frequency operation. The interconnect module is capable of reliably attaching an integrated circuit chip to a printed wiring board via solder ball connections, while providing reduced power distribution impedance of less than or equal to approximately 0.60 ohms at operating frequencies in excess of 1.0 gigahertz.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for constructing EMI shielding around a component embedded in a circuit board. According to the method, a recess, which is extended to an insulating layer that represents the ground-reference plane, is formed around the embedding location of the component. The recess is filled or surfaced with an electrically conductive material, in such a way that the material is in electrical contact with the ground-reference plane and that the material essentially surrounds the component in the direction of the circuit board.
Abstract:
In a core substrate 30, a ground through hole 36E and a power through hole 36P are disposed in the grid formation, so that electromotive force induced in X direction and Y direction cancel out each other. As a result, even if mutual inductance is reduced and a high frequency IC chip is loaded, electric characteristic and reliability can be improved without generating malfunction or error.
