Patent number: 8237516Abstract: In enhancing signal quality through packages, meta-materials may be used. Meta-materials are designed to make the signal act in such a way as to make the shape of the signal behave as though the permittivity and permeability are different than the real permittivity and permeability of the insulator used. In an example embodiment, a substrate (10) is configured as a meta-material. The meta-material provides noise protection for a signal line (15) having a pre-determined length disposed on the meta-material. The substrate comprises a dielectric material (2, 4, 6) having a topside surface and an underside surface. A conductive material (30) is arranged into pre-determined shapes (35) having a collective length. Dielectric material envelops the conductive material and the conductive material is disposed at a first predetermined distance (55) from the topside surface and at a second predetermined distance from the underside surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2006Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventor: Chris Wyland

Publication number: 20120194290Abstract: An electromagnetic noise suppression circuit is provided. The suppression circuit comprises a first substrate, a first grounding plane and at least one transmission line. The transmission line is configured on a top surface of the first substrate and the first grounding plane is configured on the bottom surface of the first substrate. The first grounding plane comprises a first distributed coupling structure. The first distributed coupling structure and the transmission line can be equivalent to an inductor-capacitor resonant circuit. The electromagnetic noise within a designated frequency band can be suppressed by the distributed coupling structure of the electromagnetic noise suppression circuit to avoid interfering the signal transmitted by the transmission line and the electromagnetic radiation induced by the electromagnetic noise.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2011Publication date: August 2, 2012Inventors: Tzong-Lin WU, Chung-Hao Tsai

Publication number: 20120194291Abstract: Several implementations disclosed herein are directed to compact-size common-mode filters that are suitable for implementation in densely populated multilayered printed circuit boards (PCBs) with numerous I/O ports—as well as integrated circuit (IC) chips and I/O connectors—to suppress EMI emissions. Certain implementation are specifically directed to filters for four differential signal lines that carry 10-Gb/s digital signals. These implementations provide common-mode suppression within gigahertz frequencies where common-mode noise comprising 10-Gb/s signal is problematic, but without any significant degradation of differential-mode signals. Moreover, certain of these implementations are directed to compact-size filters that suppress common-mode signal noise at 10.3 GHz associated with the fundamental harmonic 10 Gb/s-signals of XFI and SFI. In other implementations, a combination of filters is presented to provide common-mode noise suppression at both the first harmonic frequency of 10.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2011Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: MIROSLAV M.
