  • Patent number: 9345126
    Abstract: A substrate of a semiconductor package comprises a conductor pattern which is formed in a surface layer, and is electrically connected to one terminal out of a power terminal and a ground terminal of a semiconductor element. The substrate also comprises in the surface layer a conductor pattern which is arranged while being separated from the conductor pattern, and a conductor pattern which is formed so as to have a wiring width thinner than that of the conductor pattern and connects the conductor pattern with the conductor pattern. The substrate also comprises a conductor pattern which is formed in an inner layer, faces the conductor pattern through a dielectric and is electrically connected to the other terminal out of the power terminal and the ground terminal of the semiconductor element.

  • Patent number: 9326370
    Abstract: Provided is a printed circuit board capable of increasing an inductance value of a power pattern and a ground pattern while keeping a low electric resistance value of the power pattern and the ground pattern. The printed circuit board includes a printed wiring board including: a power layer having a power pattern formed therein; and a ground layer having a ground pattern formed therein. On the printed wiring board, an LSI as a semiconductor device and an LSI as a power supply member are mounted. The ground pattern has a first ground region that overlaps the power pattern as viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surface of the printed wiring board. In the first ground region, at least one defect portion is formed. In the first ground region, the defect portion forms a region that is narrower than the power pattern.

  • Patent number: 9084364
    Abstract: On a surface layer of a printed wiring board, main power supply patterns to be applied with different DC voltages are disposed in a second region. Power supply patterns are disposed on the surface layer, and the power supply patterns are led from the main power supply patterns to a first region. The power supply patterns connect power supply terminals of terminal groups in the second region. The power supply patterns connect the power supply terminals between the terminal groups in the first region. Power supply terminals of the terminal groups of a semiconductor package are electrically connected to the main power supply patterns by the power supply patterns. Thus, potential fluctuations are reduced and radiation noise is suppressed, and the number of layers of the printed wiring board is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7408209
    Abstract: Radiation noise is reduced, and any operation error is prevented by suppressing noise propagation between an input/output circuit and an internal circuit while preventing or minimizing an increase in the number of steps of semiconductor element design. A semiconductor device having an input/output circuit region and an internal circuit region includes an internal circuit power supply cell which is arranged in the input/output circuit region and supplies a power to the internal circuit region, an internal circuit ground cell which is arranged in the input/output circuit region and supplies ground to the internal circuit region, and noise control cells which are arranged to sandwich the internal circuit power supply cell and the internal circuit ground cell in the input/output circuit region and formed by electrically connecting a p-type semiconductor substrate to ground independently of the input/output circuit region and the internal circuit region.
