Abstract:
A printed circuit board and a design method thereof are disclosed. The design method includes: wiring signal lines on an area basis at inner layers adjacent to outer surface layers; arranging the outer surface layers with no wiring or few wirings and interconnecting the outer surface layers through through vias, so that the outer surface layers function as a primary ground; and setting parameters of a line width and a layer height to control a target impedance value. The printed circuit board includes outer surface layers and two inner layers therebetween. The inner layers adjacent to the outer surface layers are used for arranging signal lines on an area basis; and the outer surface layers are arranged with no wiring or few wirings and are interconnected as a primary ground through through vias. The invention also discloses a mainboard of a terminal product using the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit substrate is designed and fabricated with a selectively applied transmission line reference plane metal layer to achieve signal path shielding and isolation, while avoiding drops in impedance due to capacitance between large diameter vias and the transmission line reference plane metal layer. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) the signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. For voltage-plane bearing PTHs, no voids are introduced, so that signal path conductors can be routed above or adjacent to the voltage-plane bearing PTHs, with the transmission line reference plane preventing shunt capacitance between the signal path conductors and the PTHs.
Abstract:
The method involves superimposing two layers, and metallizing two faces of each layer. An interlayer made of metallized thermoplastic material e.g. liquid crystal polymer, is arranged between the two layers. Holes are pierced within the two layers before the two layers are placed in contact with each other, and within the interlayer. The holes are metallized. A metal is applied on openings of the holes of the two layers, and another metal is applied on openings of the holes of the interlayer. The two layers and the interlayer are pressed for diffusion bonding of zones covered with the metals. An independent claim is also included for a printed circuit board comprising two superimposed metallized layers.
Abstract:
A chip capacitor 20 is provided in a core substrate 30 of a printed circuit board 10. This makes it possible to shorten a distance between an IC chip 90 and the chip capacitor 20 and to reduce loop inductance. Since the core substrate 30 is constituted by providing a first resin substrate 30a, a second resin substrate 30b and a third resin substrate 30c in a multilayer manner, the core substrate 30 can obtain sufficient strength.

Abstract:
An hermetically sealed integrated microwave circuit comprising a coplanar waveguide on a PCB (3, 4) electrically connected on one major surface to an IC, and thermally and electrically connected to a BGA (5) on its opposite major surface, in which the PCB has at least first and second printed layers, a microwave signal path extends from a ball of the BGA through a through-hole in both printed layers to the coplanar wave guide, and plural ground paths extend from balls (51) of the BGA (5) through first through-holes in the first printed layer of the PCB and through second through-holes of the second printed layer of the PCB, the first and second through-holes being non-coincident, to allow for an hermetic seal across the PCB whilst introducing a predetermined impedance in the PCB between the signal and ground paths.
