  • Publication number: 20060285273
    Abstract: This invention discloses a composite distributed dielectric structure. It comprises one or more conductor layers, one or more dielectric layers distributed on the conductor layers, and one or more conductor traces distributed on the dielectric layers. One or more dielectric plates can be further around the conductor traces. The dielectric layers or plates may or may not have plural dielectric materials therein, respectively described in two embodiments. Each conductor trace lies on a dielectric material without crossing two different dielectric materials. Two or more dielectric layers may be stacked on the conductor layers The invention provides a low cost and practical dielectric structure for interconnect systems to reduce dielectric loss, cross talk, and signal propagation delay and to well control the impedance matching while maintaining proper heat dissipation and noise reduction at high frequency transmission.

  • Patent number: 7102876
    Abstract: An interleaving striped capacitor substrate structure for pressing-type print circuit boards is disclosed. To meet the high-frequency, high-speed, and high-density requirements in modern electronic systems, the interleaving striped capacitor substrate structure uses several dielectric materials of different dielectric coefficients to make a dielectric layer. One dielectric layer can be stacked on another to form a multi-layered capacitor substrate so that a single capacitor substrate can provide the highest capacitance required for the decoupling capacitor to suppress high-frequency noise signals, and the lower dielectric coefficient substrate required for high-speed signal transmission. This simultaneously achieves the effects of reducing high-frequency transmission time and suppressing high-frequency noise.

  • Publication number: 20030184953
    Abstract: An interleaving striped capacitor substrate structure for pressing-type print circuit boards are disclosed. To achieve the high-frequency, high-speed, and high-density trend in modern electronic systems, the interleaving striped capacitor substrate structure uses several dielectric materials of different dielectric coefficients to make a dielectric layer. According to the practical needs, one or both sides of the dielectric layer is adhered with a conductive metal layer to form a capacitor substrate so that a single capacitor substrate can provide the lower dielectric coefficient substrate required for high-speed signal transmissions and the high dielectric coefficient substrate required by the decoupling capacitor to suppress the high-frequency noise signals. This simultaneously achieves the effects of lowering the high-frequency transmission time and suppressing high-frequency noises.
