Abstract: A printed wiring board includes a core substrate including a laminated capacitor. The laminated capacitor includes a plurality of composite dielectric layers and a plurality of metal layers stacked alternately. Three types through-hole conductors are provided which extend between the upper and lower surfaces of the core substrate. The first through-hole conductors are directly connected to first metal layers serving one electrode of the laminated capacitor, the second through-hole conductors are directly connected to second metal layers serving the other electrode of the laminated capacitor, and the third through-hole conductors are not connected to any of the first and second metal layers. The first and second through-hole conductors are used for establishing electrical connections between power supply and ground lines and an IC chip mounted on the printed wiring board. The third through-hole conductor is used as a signal line.

Abstract: A printed wiring board includes a core substrate, one or more insulating resin layers laminated on at least one side of the core substrate, and a wiring layer formed at least between the core substrate and the insulating resin layer or between the insulating resin layers. The core substrate includes a composite dielectric layer that contains resin and a high-permittivity powder, and a plurality of metal layers disposed such that the composite dielectric layer is sandwiched therebetween. The composite dielectric layer and the metal layers constitute a laminated capacitor.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package comprises a power supply conductor film having a potential and conductor columns insulated from and passed through the power supply conductor film. A power supply conductor column comprises one of the conductor columns connected to a power supply having a potential different from the power supply conductor film. The other conductor columns are signal conductor columns for exchanging signals with mounted integrated circuits. An insulation space between the power supply conductor film and the power supply conductor column is greater than an insulation space between the power supply conductor film and a signal conductor column. Thereby, a probability of short-circuit occurrence in the power supply conductor film across the power supply conductor column is lowered.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package in which three conductor columns for connecting an insulating substrate and an integrated circuit are connected in parallel for use as I/O vias. Thereby, the conductor columns in a multilayer wiring portion between an integrated circuit and an insulating substrate is prevented from disconnecting.

Abstract: A method of producing a sintered body by molding a mixture of a ceramic base powder, a sintering assistant powder and an organic binder and sintering the molded body in a non-oxidizing atmosphere is disclosed in which the ceramic base powder has such a particle size distribution that the amount of powder particles not greater than 1.0 .mu.m in size is not more than 15% by weight and the average particle diameter is not greater than 5 .mu.m. According to the method, therefore, sufficient passage of gas is secured in a degreasing step, resulting in an enhanced degreasing efficiency and exellent sintering properties. Where the sintering assistant powder has such a particle size distribution that the amount of powder particles not greater than 10 .mu.m in size is not more than 5% by weight, the amount of coarse powder is extremely small and, therefore, large voids are not formed.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic wiring board including a ceramic board having a plurality of through-holes and formed by laminating three or more green sheets of a ceramic material and burning a laminate of the green sheets, and a plurality of conductors provided in the through-holes. Each of the conductors is formed of a ceramic material and a conductive material in combination. The ceramic board is composed of a pair of upper and lower layer portions each having at least an outermost surface layer and an inner layer portion disposed between the upper and lower portions. The conductors are composed of an outer conductor portion formed in the upper and lower layer portions and an inner conductor portion formed in the inner layer portion. The outer conductor portion has a content ratio of the ceramic material higher than that of the inner conductor portion.

Abstract: A metal-ceramics composite material is produced by forming a metal film comprised of three layers on a ceramic substrate, and laminating a metal member thereon, the metal film comprising first layer of Group IV a metal, second layer of Group VIa metal and third layer of Group Ib metal, wherein the first and second layers are formed by gas deposition technique and the Group Ib layer may be formed by gas deposition technique or electrochemical plating. An additional Group VIII metal layer may be interposed between Group VIa layer and Group Ib layer by gas deposition technique.
