Abstract
An object of the present invention is to match impedance of each portion of whole lines of a signal wiring with the integrated circuit mounted on the package. All ground planes are deleted within a region vertically under/above a connection pad provided on the top- or bottom-surface of a polyimide multilayer part, whereby no capacitance is generated between the connection pad and the ground planes, so that the impedance of the signal wiring within the region right under/above the connection pad is prevented from being lowered.
Claims3
An integrated circuit package comprising:
- a multilayer part including:
- a plurality of wiring layers each having a plurality of signal lines;
- a pair of ground layers;
- a conductor pad;
- and
- a plurality of insulating layers through which said wiring layers and said ground layer are laminated,
- wherein an inner size of the conductor pad is selected to be not less than five times as large as a trace width of the signal lines in the plurality of wiring layers, said inner size being the maximum diameter of an inscribing circle in an outline of the conductor pad, and
- wherein an area defined by the pair of ground layers and existing in a vertical direction from the conductor pad is not larger than a region defined by extending a width of the signal lines over a circumference of the conductor pad.
