A plurality of pins formed on a periphery of the tape circuit provide electrical connection between the tape circuit and a mother socket. An elastomer sheet is provided between a portion of the tape circuit, on which the electrode pads are formed and the IC is mounted, and the mother socket, and a side surface of the sheet, which contacts with the tape circuit, is formed with cut grooves in lattice fashion such that respective centers of the electrode pads substantially coincide with intersections of the grooves.

Abstract: A high-frequency signal from a tape-shaped line section having a surface layer signal lead and surface layer GND lead disposed on both sides thereof is directly inputted to a semiconductor chip via a signal surface layer wiring of a package substrate and through solder bump electrodes. Alternatively, a high-frequency signal from the semiconductor chip is outputted to the outside via the tape-shaped line section in reverse. Owing to the transmission of the high-frequency signal by only a microstrip line at the whole surface layer of the package substrate, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted by only the microstrip line at the surface layer without through vias or the like. Accordingly, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted without a loss in frequency characteristic, and a high-quality high-frequency signal can be transmitted with a reduction in loss at high-frequency transmission.
