  • Patent number: 10643960
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip including a first circuit and a wiring substrate over which the semiconductor chip is mounted. The wiring substrate includes input signal wires transmitting an input signal to the semiconductor chip, output signal wires transmitting an output signal from the semiconductor chip, and first conductor planes supplied with a reference potential. When a wire cross-sectional area is defined as the cross-sectional area of each wire in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the wire extends, the wire cross-sectional area of each input signal wire is smaller than the wire cross-sectional area of each output signal wire. In the thickness direction of the wiring substrate, each input signal wire is interposed between second conductor planes and third conductor planes each supplied with the reference potential. Between the output signal wires and the input signal wires, the third conductor planes are disposed.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip mounted over a wiring substrate. A signal wiring for input for transmitting input signals to the semiconductor chip and a signal wiring for output for transmitting output signals from the semiconductor chip are placed in different wiring layers in the wiring substrate and overlap with each other.

  • Patent number: 10163791
    Abstract: It is intended to reduce the price of a semiconductor device and increase the reliability thereof. In an interposer, a plurality of wiring layers are disposed between uppermost-layer wiring and lowermost-layer wiring. For example, a third wiring layer is electrically coupled directly to a first wiring layer as the uppermost-layer wiring by a long via wire extending through insulating layers without intervention of a second wiring layer. For example, an upper-surface terminal made of the first wiring layer is electrically coupled directly to a via land made of the third wiring layer by the long via wire. Between the adjacent long via wires, three lead-out wires made of the second wiring layer can be placed. The number of the lead-out wires that can be placed between the adjacent long via wires is larger than the number of the lead-out wires that can be placed between the adjacent via lands.
