Abstract:
Multi-layered, organic build-up semiconductor package substrates have build-up layers with layers of both fibrous organic dielectric material and non-fibrous organic dielectric material. Non-fibrous dielectric material layers are positioned below the signal metal layers and fibrous dielectric material layers are positioned below the power/ground plane metal layers. The package substrate combines in a single package substrate the advantages of rigidity, strength and relatively low CTE of a fibrous material with the capacity of a non-fibrous material to achieve fine resolution signal metal lines.

Abstract:
A multilayered printed wiring board, a multilayer PWB, and a method for manufacturing the same. The multilayer PWB comprises a first main surface and an opposing second main surface, where the multilayer PWB has a height being defined by the distance from the first main surface to the opposing second main surface. The two surfaces and the height together define the thickness of the multilayer PWB. The multilayer PWB comprises a reference ground plane, a microstrip conductor separated from the reference ground plane by a first dielectric layer and a stripline conductor connected with the microstrip conductor and being separated from the reference ground plane by a second dielectric layer. The reference ground plane is formed by two or more different partial reference ground planes positioned at different layers of the multilayer PWB. Furthermore, the reference ground plane is moveable from the first partial reference ground plane to the second partial reference ground plane when a signal current transits from the microstrip conductor to the stripline conductor, and vice versa.
