  • Patent number: 9362677
    Abstract: In accordance with a non-limiting example, a connector mates to a circuit board at a connector interface. The connector often introduces an undesirable level of crosstalk between pairs. Traces are formed on the circuit board in a “compensation region” that also introduces crosstalk between pairs. The “compensation region” is created in a geometrically controlled fashion such that the crosstalk in the compensation region is of equal magnitude, but opposing phase to the crosstalk introduced by the connector. Thus, the overall crosstalk is minimized.

    Abstract: A wiring board has a structure where multiple wiring layers are stacked one on top of another with insulating layers interposed therebetween. A sheet-shaped member is buried in an outermost insulating layer located on a side of the structure opposite to a side on which a semiconductor element is to be mounted. The sheet-shaped member has a modulus of elasticity and a coefficient of thermal expansion which are similar to a modulus of elasticity and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the semiconductor element. The sheet-shaped member is made of a material having a modulus of elasticity and a coefficient of thermal expansion which are enough to bring respective distributions thereof into a substantially symmetric form in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the wiring board in the case where the semiconductor element is mounted.
