Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a differential output driver circuit arranged at each I/O portion, and a delay element. The differential output driver circuit receives a pair of differential signals generated by a circuit on the input stage. An output signal from the differential output driver circuit is transmitted through the first and second signal lines. Each of the first and second signal lines includes a global interconnection, bump, and transmission line. The delay element is inserted in at least one of the first and second signal lines. The delay element delays signals passing through the signal lines so as to make the delays of the signals substantially equal to each other, compensating for the signal delay time generated by the line length difference.

Abstract: A semiconductor module has an MMIC chip flip-chip-mounted on a board. The MMIC chip has a ground line and bumps. The board has through holes and a ground electrode. These ground line, bumps, through holes, and ground electrode form a conductor continuum that defines a quasi-cavity. The module is designed so that the resonance frequency (fr) of the quasi-cavity is higher than the maximum operation frequency (fumax) of the MMIC chip. This prevents signal disturbance due to agreement between the resonance frequency (fr) and an operation frequency (fu) of the MMIC chip. If the MMIC chip is provided with bias circuits having MIM capacitors, the MIM capacitors are formed within the quasi-cavity. The quasi-cavity blocks magnetic fields generated by the MIM capacitors from leaking outside and badly affecting electronic parts arranged around the MMIC chip.
