Abstract: The invention is directed to a high frequency semiconductor device housing package comprising: an insulating substrate having on its top surface a high frequency semiconductor device mounting and housing portion; a plurality of wiring conductors delivered from the mounting and housing portion through the under surface of the insulating substrate, to which an electrode of the high frequency semiconductor device is electrically connected; and a plurality of ball-shaped signal terminals and ball-shaped grounding terminals arranged on the under surface of the insulating substrate and electrically connected to the wiring conductor, the ball-shaped grounding terminals being arranged substantially circularly so as to surround the centered ball-shaped signal terminal. This construction achieves efficient transmission of high-frequency signals because of its excellent high frequency characteristics in the ball-shaped terminals. It also excels in easiness of mass production and mounting accuracy.

Abstract: A high frequency semiconductor device housing package comprises a dielectric substrate, an internal signal wiring conductor, an interlayer grounding conductor layer, a signal wiring conductor, a ball-shaped signal terminal mounting pad, and a grounding conductor layer. In the interlayer grounding conductor layer opposed to the signal wiring conductor is provided a conductive layer non-forming portion so as to be located in a region directly above the ball-shaped signal terminal mounting pad. An effective distance from the ball-shaped signal terminal mounting pad to the interlayer grounding conductor layer is made greater than an effective distance from the ball-shaped signal terminal mounting pad to the grounding conductor layer. With this configuration, the parasitic capacitance at the pad is reduced and a high frequency signal is efficiently transmitted.
