摘要： A package substrate having separate routing layers for transmitter signals and receiver signals, which signals are routed in differential pairs. The differential pairs of signal routing lines are isolated between a separate ground plane for transmitter and receiver traces and dedicated power planes, where a single power plane is dedicated to a single differential pair of signal routing lines. In this manner, a high degree of electrical isolation exists not only between the transmitter signal traces and the receiver signal traces, which are on different layers, but also between different differential pairs of signal routing lines on the same layer, each of which has its own dedicated power plane. Thus, a very high speed core routing system can be designed in a package substrate that can then be adapted as necessary to support a broad range of different integrated circuit designs.

摘要： An integrated circuit having signal traces, power traces, and ground traces. The signal traces are disposed on at least one signal distribution layer, and the signal traces on the at least one signal distribution layer are formed at no more than a first thickness. The power traces and ground traces are formed on at least one power ground distribution layer, where the at least one power ground distribution layer is an overlying layer of the integrated circuit relative to the at least one signal distribution layer. The power traces and ground traces on the at least one power ground distribution layer are formed at no less than a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness of the signal traces. In this manner, the signal traces, which can be formed with a relatively thin thickness, can be placed very close together on the signal distribution layers, and have sufficient conductivity for the signals transmitted thereon. At the same time, the power and ground traces, which are typically required to carry a greater current, can be formed with a relatively thick thickness and with wider widths, without taking up precious space on the signal distribution layers. In this manner, the signal traces can be placed closed together, both because they are thinner and because space is not taken by power and ground traces on the same layer, and thus they require less space, and the integrated circuit can be made smaller.

摘要： A system and method are provided for forming a multi-chip package. The multi-chip package includes a multi-layer substrate and a heat spreader of single, unibody construction. At least two integrated circuits are coupled between the multi-layer substrate and the heat spreader. The integrated circuits are spaced from one another to allow airflow between those circuits and a portion of the underside surface of the heat spreader. Depending on the layout of the package, a passive device can also be placed in the space between integrated circuits. The passive device extends upward a spaced distance from the underneath surface of the heat spreader so as not to block the airflow therebetween. The multi-chip package can accommodate integrated circuits that are either all packaged, all unpackaged, or a combination of each. If packaged and unpackaged integrated circuits are placed on the multi-layer substrate, the heat spreader can extend in two separate planes to accommodate the different thicknesses of those packaged and unpackaged integrated circuits. Alternatively, a second heat spreader can be placed on a relatively thin integrated circuit so that the upper surface of the second heat spreader is coplanar with an upper surface of a relatively thick integrated circuit. This will allow a planar heat spreader to be arranged across the thick integrated circuit and the second heat spreader. In all instances, however, the heat spreader extends as a single, contiguous unibody element across the entire multi-chip package.

摘要： A package substrate is contemplated herein for reducing cross-talk for noise-sensitive signals. The package substrate includes noise-sensitive conductors adapted to receive the noise-sensitive signals. In one embodiment, the cross-sectional width of the noise-sensitive conductors is increased to reduce certain parasitic effects such as resistance and/or inductance. The package substrate also includes guard conductors which are arranged co-planar with and substantially parallel to the noise-sensitive conductors. A plurality of vias spaced equidistant from one another extends from a ground conductor to the guard conductors, providing a substantially uniform voltage across the guard conductors. The overall effect will reduce the inductive and capacitive cross-talk from neighboring signals and increase the signal integrity of noise-sensitive signals.

摘要： A semiconductor device package is presented having signal traces interposed between power and ground conductors in order to form stripline transmission lines. The semiconductor device package includes a substrate having a die area defined upon an upper surface. The die area is dimensioned to receive the integrated circuit. A first planar conductive layer formed upon the upper surface includes a first set of bonding pads and a set of conductive traces. Members of the first set of bonding pads are arranged upon the upper surface proximate the die area, and are used to make electrical connections to the integrated circuit. Members of the set of conductive traces are connected between one of two polarities of a power supply and corresponding members of the first set of bonding pads, and function as reference planes for underlying signal traces. A second planar conductive layer is positioned between the first planar conductive layer and an underside surface of the substrate. The second conductive layer is connected to the other of the two polarities of the power supply, and also functions as a reference plane for signal traces within the substrate. A planar conductive signal layer is interposed between the first and second conductive layers and patterned to form a set of signal traces. The signal traces form stripline transmission lines which are highly desirable in high frequency applications as their impedances are highly predictable and controllable.
