[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the embodiments in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] As described in the background art, stubs in a PCB can cause reflection, scattering, and delay in high-speed signal transmission, and can cause the signal to resonate at a specific frequency, thereby affecting signal integrity.

[0039] In order to solve the impact of the residual stubs in the vias on the communication quality, one method is to eliminate the via doping through the back drilling process. The principle is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a circuit board before back drilling. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the circuit board after back drilling is shown. In this method, the circuit board includes a substrate 10, and the substrate 10 has a wiring. The wiring includes a wiring segment 11 and a conductive through hole 12. Specifically, the substrate 10 is provided with a wiring segment 11, and the wiring segment 11 is parallel to the substrate 10 ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate the connection between the wiring segments 11 or between the wiring segments 11 and the circuit board surface, it is necessary to set a conductive through hole 12 that penetrates the substrate 10. The conductive through hole 12 extends in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to meet the circuit interconnection requirements, it is necessary to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wiring path shown by the dotted line will result in a long stub 14 in the conductive via 12 for the routing segment 11 located in the inner layer of the circuit board. In order to solve the influence of the stub 14 on the communication quality, a back-drilling process can be used to form a back-drilling hole 13 at the position of the stub 14, so as to eliminate the stub 14 through the back-drilling hole 13.

[0041] For circuit boards used for high-speed communication, the circuit boards are relatively thick, resulting in high back drilling costs and process requirements. The greater the back drilling depth, the greater the back drilling error. When the back drilling depth is insufficient, the influence of residual piles on communication quality cannot be effectively eliminated.

[0042] In order to solve the impact of the stub in the via on the communication quality, another method is to solder passive components on the surface of the circuit board and use passive component termination at the via to eliminate the impact of the stub in the via on the communication quality. Terminating the passive components on the surface of the circuit board will cause the passive components to occupy the surface space of the circuit board, and the simple termination method will reduce the DC voltage drop of the circuit.

[0043] From the above description, it can be seen that neither the back drilling method to eliminate stubs nor the method of terminating passive devices on the circuit board surface can effectively eliminate the impact of stubs on communication quality. Moreover, in circuit boards used for high-speed signal transmission, stubs have a greater impact on communication quality. It is necessary to use equalization technology on the receiving chip to further improve the impact of stubs on signal integrity, which will make chip debugging more complicated and increase system power consumption.

[0044] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a circuit board and an electronic device, wherein the circuit board includes:

[0045] a substrate having first and second opposing surfaces;

[0046] A signal hole penetrating the substrate;

[0047] a surface signal line located on the first surface, one end of the surface signal line being connected to one end of the signal hole located on the first surface, and the other end being used for connecting to an interface;

[0048] A thin film element connected to the signal hole, the thin film element is used for at least reducing reflection of the transmission signal in the signal hole or increasing the amplitude of the transmission signal.

[0049] In the circuit board provided in the embodiment of the present application, a thin film element connected to the signal hole is provided to reduce the reflection of the transmission signal in the signal hole and / or increase the amplitude of the transmission signal. The thin film element can be directly manufactured on the surface or inside of the circuit board, has a small size, and has a low manufacturing cost.

[0050] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] refer to Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a circuit board provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the circuit board includes:

[0052] A substrate 21, wherein the substrate 21 has a first surface S1 and a second surface S2 opposite to each other;

[0053] A signal hole 22 penetrating the substrate 21;

[0054] A surface signal line 23 located on the first surface S1 , one end of the surface signal line 23 is connected to one end of the signal hole 22 located on the first surface S1 , and the other end is used to connect to the interface 24 ;

[0055] A thin film element 25 connected to the signal hole, wherein the thin film element 25 is used for at least reducing reflection of the transmission signal in the signal hole or increasing the amplitude of the transmission signal.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the circuit board is provided with a thin film element 25 connected to the signal hole 22, and the thin film element 25 is at least used to reduce the reflection of the transmission signal in the signal hole and / or increase the amplitude of the transmission signal. The thin film element 25 can be directly made on the surface or inside of the circuit board, has a small volume, and has a low production cost. Compared with the method of soldering passive components on the surface of the circuit board, the occupation of the circuit board surface space and the production cost are greatly reduced.

[0057] The thin film element 25 can be prepared by using a conductive dielectric material. The conductive dielectric material includes a metal oxide. In the circuit board manufacturing process, a thin film of the conductive dielectric material can be formed by a deposition process, and a desired pattern can be formed by an etching process to prepare the thin film element 25. The manufacturing process is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and it has high compatibility with the existing circuit board manufacturing process.

[0058] High-speed interfaces in chips generally use AC-coupled differential low-voltage mode transmission, and the signal transmission rate is relatively high. In order to meet the communication requirements of chip high-speed interfaces, differential vias need to be set in the circuit board.

[0059] refer to Figure 4As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another circuit board structure provided in an embodiment of the present application, based on Figure 3 In the manner shown, the signal via 24 includes: a first group of differential vias, including a first conductive via Via1 and a second conductive via Via2; a second group of differential vias, including a third conductive via Via3 and a fourth conductive via Via4. The first conductive via Via1 is connected to the third conductive via Via3 through a first inner layer trace N1 located in the circuit board. The second conductive via Via2 is connected to the fourth conductive via Via4 through a second inner layer trace N2 located in the circuit board.

[0060] The surface signal line 23 includes: a first surface routing MS1, connected to the end of the first conductive hole Via1 located on the first surface S1, and connected to the first interface 241 located on the first surface S1; a second surface routing MS2, connected to the end of the second conductive hole Via2 located on the first surface S1, and connected to the first interface 241; a third surface routing SL1, connected to the end of the third conductive hole Via3 located on the first surface S1, and connected to the second interface 242 located on the first surface S1; a fourth surface routing SL2, connected to the end of the fourth conductive hole Via4 located on the first surface S1, and connected to the second interface 242.

[0061] The first conductive via Via1 and the second conductive via Via2 are respectively connected to a separate first interface 241. The third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 are respectively connected to a separate second interface 242. At least one of the first conductive via Via1 to the fourth conductive via Via4 is connected to the thin film element 25.

[0062] In one embodiment, a first thin film element 251 is connected between the first conductive via Via1 and the second conductive via Via2.

[0063] In another embodiment, at least one of the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 is grounded through the second thin film element 252. In the embodiment of the present application, preferably, the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 are grounded through separate second thin film elements 252, respectively.

[0064] A first thin-film element 251 is connected between the first conductive via Via1 and the second conductive via Via2 , and at least one of the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 is grounded through a second thin-film element 252 .

[0065] exist Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, a first thin film element 251 is connected between the first conductive via Via1 and the second conductive via Via2 , and the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 are grounded through one second thin film element 252 respectively.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the first interface 241 is used to connect the transmitter chip TX. The first thin film element 251 is a first thin film resistor BR1 connected between the first conductive hole Via1 and the second conductive hole Via2. The first thin film resistor BR1 can absorb and reduce the reflected signal, and reduce the influence of the residual piles in the first conductive hole Via1 and the second conductive hole Via2 on the communication quality. Compared with the passive components that can be soldered on the surface of the circuit board, the first thin film resistor BR1 is smaller in size, which can reduce the occupation of the circuit board space and has lower cost. Moreover, the first thin film resistor BR1 can not only set the second surface S2, but also be placed inside the circuit board as an embedded resistor, which completely avoids the occupation of the surface layer space of the circuit board.

[0067] The resistance value of the first thin-film resistor BR1 may be calculated based on a transmission function from the connected surface wiring to the connected conductive via. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the resistance value of the first thin-film resistor BR1.

[0068] The circuit board includes a metal ground 32, and the second thin film element 252 is connected between the connected conductive via and the metal ground 32. As described above, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to better eliminate the influence of the residual piles in the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 on the communication quality, the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 are respectively grounded through one of the second thin film elements 252.

[0069] When the circuit board is provided with the first thin film element 251 and the second thin film element 252 at the same time, the first thin film element 251 and the second thin film element 252 can be arranged on the same layer of conductive dielectric material. In this way, the first thin film element 251 and the second thin film element 252 can be simultaneously prepared through the same conductive dielectric layer, the manufacturing process is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the first thin film element 251 and the second thin film element 252 are arranged on the same layer, which can also reduce the thickness of the circuit board.

[0070] Both the first thin-film element 251 and the second thin-film element 252 can be placed inside the circuit board as embedded elements, thereby avoiding occupying the layout space on the surface of the circuit board.

[0071] Optionally, the second thin film element 252 is configured to include a second thin film resistor BR2 and a thin film inductor L connected in series; the thin film inductor L, as a high impedance element, can improve the reflection gain and increase the amplitude of the transmission signal. The resistance value of the thin film inductor L is obtained by calculating the transmission function from the corresponding surface trace MS to the corresponding conductive hole, and the technical solution of this application does not specifically limit the resistance value of the thin film inductor L.

[0072] The second thin film resistor BR2 and the thin film inductor L are located on the same layer of conductive dielectric material. In this way, the second thin film resistor BR2 and the thin film inductor L can be simultaneously prepared through the same conductive dielectric layer, the manufacturing process is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the second thin film resistor BR2 and the thin film inductor L are arranged on the same layer, which can also reduce the thickness of the circuit board.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the second interface 242 is used to connect the receiving chip RX. The second thin film element 252 includes a second thin film resistor BR2 and a thin film inductor L connected in series, which can increase the amplitude of the transmission signal. The receiving chip RX does not need to have an equalization function, which reduces the complexity and power consumption of the receiving chip RX.

[0074] refer to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 for Figure 4 The equivalent circuit diagram of the circuit in the circuit board shown, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second thin film element 252 connected to the third conductive hole Via3 is set to include a thin film inductor L1 and a thin film resistor R1, and the second thin film element 252 connected to the fourth conductive hole Via4 includes a thin film inductor L2 and a thin film resistor R2. Generally, the resistance of the second thin film resistor BR2 in the second thin film element 252 is 50 ohms, that is, the thin film resistor R1 and the thin film resistor R2 are both 50 ohms. The resistance of the second thin film resistor BR2 is set according to communication requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the resistance of the second thin film resistor BR2.

[0075] In the circuit board described in the embodiment of the present application, the substrate 21 includes a plurality of stacked metal layers M, and an insulating layer is provided between adjacent metal layers M. The insulating layer is not shown in the drawings of the present application. In the direction from the first surface S1 to the second surface S2, the plurality of metal layers M are sequentially from the first metal layer to the Nth metal layer, where N is a positive integer greater than 2.

[0076] The i-th metal layer includes the first inner layer routing N1 and the second inner layer routing N2, that is, the first inner layer routing N1 and the second inner layer routing N2 are patterned from the same metal layer M inside the circuit board.

[0077] The first thin film resistor BR1 may be disposed on the second surface S2, or between the second surface S2 and the i-th metal layer. The second thin film element 252 may be disposed on the second surface S2, or between the second surface S2 and the i-th metal layer.

[0078] In the circuit board, part of the multi-layer metal layer M is a metal ground 32, and part is a signal line layer. The metal ground 32 is a whole metal layer, and has a hollow area as an anti-pad at the position corresponding to the signal hole 22, and the hollow area surrounds the signal hole 22. The signal hole 22 is located in the hollow area and does not contact the metal ground. The signal line layer includes signal lines. In the embodiment of the present application, the surface wiring and the inner wiring are both prepared by the corresponding signal line layer graphics. When there are multiple layers of the signal line layer, there is at least one layer of the metal ground 32 between two adjacent signal line layers.

[0079] The metal ground 32 of each layer has a first hollow area surrounding the first group of differential vias, and the first hollow area simultaneously surrounds the first conductive via Via1 and the second conductive via Via2 in the first group of differential vias. The metal ground 32 of each layer has a second hollow area surrounding the second group of differential vias, and the second hollow area simultaneously surrounds the third conductive via Via3 and the fourth conductive via Via4 in the second group of differential vias.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, there are multiple grounding holes Via5 for connecting all the metal grounds 32. The metal grounds 32 of each layer are simultaneously grounded through the grounding holes Via5. One end of the second thin film element 252 is connected to the corresponding conductive hole, and the other end is connected to the adjacent grounding hole Via5. This can improve the amplitude of the transmitted signal while simplifying the circuit connection structure. Figure 4 As shown, the third conductive via Via3 is connected to a thin film inductor L, and the thin film inductor L is connected to an adjacent grounding via Via5 through a second thin film resistor BR2. The fourth conductive via Via4 is connected to a thin film inductor L, and the thin film inductor L is connected to an adjacent grounding via Via5 through a second thin film resistor BR2.

[0081] refer to Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, Figure 6-Figure 8 Eye diagrams of signal transmission in different circuit boards. Figure 6 The eye diagram corresponding to the circuit board designed without the elimination stub in the circuit board is based on Figure 6 It can be seen that the communication quality is very poor at this time, the eye height and eye width in the eye diagram are very small, and the communication quality is very poor. Figure 7 This is the eye diagram corresponding to the passive device circuit board with separated terminations. Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the method of terminating separate passive components on the surface of the circuit board can improve the communication quality to a certain extent and increase the eye height and eye width in the eye diagram. Figure 8 The eye diagram corresponding to the circuit board described in the embodiment of the present application is relative to Figure 7 As shown, the circuit board described in the embodiment of the present application further improves the communication quality and further improves the eye height and eye width in the eye diagram.
