  • Patent number: 7061347
    Abstract: A high frequency substrate includes a first metal layer, a first dielectric layer, a second metal layer, a second dielectric layer and a high-frequency signal transmission line. The first dielectric layer is formed on the first metal layer, and the second metal layer is formed on the first dielectric layer. The first and second metal layers are maintained in a stable voltage status due to the high dielectric coefficient of the first dielectric layer. Besides, the second dielectric layer is formed on the second metal layer. High speed and high frequency transmission are achieved when signals transmitting in the high-frequency transmission line formed on the second dielectric layer due to the low dielectric coefficient of the second dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20040124955
    Abstract: A high frequency substrate comprises at least a metal layer, a dielectric layer and a high frequency signal transmission line is provided. Of which, the dielectric layer, which is formed on the metal layer, has a dense structure and a number of closed voids with a filling material stuffed therein. Since the dielectric constant of a material is smaller than that of the dense structure, the overall dielectric constant of the dielectric layer is smaller than that of the dense structure. When the high frequency signal transmission line is deposited on the dielectric layer, the signal transmission speed in the high frequency signal transmission line will be improved, the energy loss of signals will be attenuated and so will signal transmission quality be maintained.
