  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10027311
    Abstract: To provide an inexpensive semiconductor device capable of suppressing the influence by crosstalk. A semiconductor device includes a signal wiring disposed in an organic interposer, an output circuit which is coupled to a first end of the signal wiring and which sets an impedance so as to generate a reflected wave antiphase to a waveform transmitted to the first end and periodically outputs data, and an input circuit which is coupled to a second end of the signal wiring and sets an impedance so as to generate a reflected wave of the same phase as a waveform transmitted to the second end. An average delay of the signal wiring is set to be 1/integer of 2 or more relative to a half of a cycle of the data. A difference between the maximum and minimum values of a delay of a signal at each of other signal wirings disposed in the organic interposer is set to be not greater than the average delay.

  • Patent number: 8922001
    Abstract: A semiconductor device in which warpage is less likely to occur. In the semiconductor device, two semiconductor chips are mounted over a diagonal of a substrate and one of the semiconductor chips lies over the intersection of the two diagonals of the substrate. The semiconductor device gives a solution to the following problem. In order to implement a semiconductor device with a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted on a substrate, generally the substrate must have a larger area. If the area of the substrate is increased without an increase in its thickness, warpage or deformation of the semiconductor device is more likely to occur. It is difficult or impossible to mount a warped or deformed semiconductor device over a wiring substrate.
