Abstract: A multi-functional composite substrate structure is provided. The first substrate with high dielectric constant and the second substrate with low dielectric constant and low loss tangent are interlaced above the third substrate. One or more permeance blocks may be formed above each substrate, so that one or more inductors may be fabricated thereon. One or more capacitors may be fabricated on the first substrate. Also, one or more signal transmission traces of the system impedance are formed on the second substrate of the outside layer. Therefore, the inductance of the inductor(s) is effectively enhanced. Moreover, the area of built-in components is reduced. Furthermore, it has shorter delay time, smaller dielectric loss, and better return loss for the transmission of high speed and high frequency signal.

Abstract: A complementary mirror image embedded planar resistor architecture is provided. In the architecture, a complementary hollow structure is formed on a ground plane or an electrode plane to minimize the parasitic resistance, so as to efficiently enhance the application frequency. In addition, in some cases, some signal transmission lines pass through the position below the embedded planar resistor, and if there is no shield at all, serious interference or cross talk phenomenon occurs. Therefore, the complementary hollow structure of the ground plane, the electrode plane, or a power layer adjacent to the embedded planar resistor is designed to be a mesh structure, so as to reduce the interference or cross talk phenomenon. In this manner, the whole resistor structure has preferable high frequency electrical characteristic in the circuit.
