[0064] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic device 10 includes an electronic device body 100 and a circuit board 200 located in the electronic device body 100. Figure 1 The electronic device body 100 can be a shell, and the circuit board 200 is installed in the shell.

[0066] The electronic device body 100 can be a shell, and the circuit board 200 is installed in the shell. Figure 1 The electronic device body shown in FIG. 1 removes the upper cover to clearly see the structure in the shell. The electronic device 10 can include a plurality of circuit boards 200, and the circuit boards 200 can be installed on the side wall or the bottom wall of the electronic device body 100 by fasteners, which is specifically set according to the number and layout of the circuit boards 200 in the electronic device 10. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the electronic device 10 includes two circuit boards 200, and the two circuit boards 200 are both installed on the bottom wall of the electronic device body 100, and the circuit boards 200 are electrically connected by the cable 300.

[0067] The electronic device can include servers, controllers and various electronic devices, and in the embodiments of the present application, the server is taken as an example for illustration. The electronic device 10 also includes various electronic devices, and each electronic device is electrically connected with the circuit board. With the increasing requirement of the packaging density of the electronic device 10, the BGA (Ball Grid Array, Ball Grid Array packaging) chip (hereinafter referred to as BGA chip 400) is more and more used in the electronic device. Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the BGA chip in the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the BGA chip 400 includes a plurality of BGA pins 410, and the BGA pins 410 are arranged in a grid array. Figure 2As shown, the BGA chip 400 includes a BGA chip body 410 and a plurality of solder balls 420 located at the bottom of the BGA chip body 410, and the plurality of solder balls 420 are arranged in an array at the bottom of the BGA chip body 410. The spacing between the solder balls 420 is becoming smaller and smaller to meet the packaging density requirements of the electronic device 10, and currently, the spacing between the BGA solder balls 420 is gradually reduced from 1mm to 0.94mm, 0.9mm, 0.8mm.

[0068] The soldering area of the BGA chip 400 on the circuit board 200 has a plurality of pads and vias in one-to-one communication with the pads, and the solder balls 420 on the BGA chip 400 are electrically connected through the pads and the vias. The increasingly smaller spacing between the solder balls 420 results in a smaller spacing between the vias on the circuit board 200, and the crosstalk between the vias increases, ultimately resulting in a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio of high-speed signal transmission on the circuit board 200.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a circuit board in the related art; Figure 4 is Figure 3 is an enlarged view of A in FIG. 8. In the related art, the circuit board is denoted as 200n, and each component in the circuit board 200n is also suffixed with n to distinguish from the circuit board 200 in the embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 200n has a plurality of pads 210n corresponding to the solder balls 420 one by one, and the solder balls 420 are arranged one by one corresponding to the pads 210n. When the BGA chip 400 is soldered to the circuit board 200n, the solder balls 420 correspond one by one to the pads 210n to electrically connect the BGA chip 400 and the circuit board 200n. The circuit board 200n further includes a plurality of vias 220n, and the vias 220n are arranged one by one corresponding to the pads 210n. In the related art, the vias 220n are arranged concentrically with the pads 210n, and the vias 220n are used to connect the BGA chip 400 to the inside of the circuit board 200.

[0070] High-speed signals are generally transmitted using differential pairs to ensure the accuracy of signal transmission. In the following, taking a differential pair as an example, the process of increasing crosstalk between vias as the spacing between BGA solder balls 420 decreases is described. The via 220n includes a signal via 221n and a ground via 222n, and two adjacent signal vias 221n form a signal via pair 223n to transmit a differential signal, Figure 4The signal via pair 223n is shown in a dashed box. One ground via 222n can be arranged between the signal via pair 223n, or more than one ground via 222n, for example, two or three ground vias 222n. As the spacing between the solder balls 420 becomes smaller, the spacing between the pads 210n on the circuit board 200 also becomes smaller. The vias 220n are concentrically arranged with the pads 210n. Therefore, the spacing between the signal via pair 223n and other signal via pairs 223n also becomes smaller. As a result, the crosstalk between the signal via pair 223n increases when transmitting a differential signal, which eventually leads to a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio of the differential signal transmission on the circuit board 200.

The first signal pad 2211 is electrically connected to the first signal hole 211, and the second signal pad 2212 is electrically connected to the second signal hole 212. The first signal pad 2211 and the second signal pad 2212 are used to electrically connect to the signal unit 430 of the BGA chip 400. The center distance between the first signal hole 211 and the second signal hole 212 is smaller than the center distance between the first signal pad 2211 and the second signal pad 2212.

[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the distance between the edge of the first coverage area R1 of the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi and the edge of the first coverage area R1 of the interference source signal hole unit 210Ag is called the third distance D3; the distance between the edge of the second coverage area R2 of the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi and the edge of the second coverage area R2 of the interference source signal hole unit 210Ag is called the fourth distance D4. In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi and the interference source signal hole unit 210Ag is the fourth distance D4, and the distance between the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi and the interference source signal hole unit 210Ag in the related art is D3. Since the second distance D2 is smaller than the first distance D1, the fourth distance D4 is greater than the third distance D3. In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi and the interference source signal hole unit 210Ag is larger, which reduces the crosstalk when the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi and the interference source signal hole unit 210Ag transmit signals, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of signal transmission.​

[0080] The offset of the first signal hole 211 relative to the first signal pad 2211 can be determined according to the magnitude of the required reduced crosstalk, and is also affected by the interval between the first signal pad 2211 and the second signal pad 2212 (i.e. the interval between the pins 420 on the BGA chip 400). If the offset of the first signal hole 211 relative to the first signal pad 2211 is too small, the requirement of reducing crosstalk cannot be met, and if the offset of the first signal hole 211 relative to the first signal pad 2211 is too large, the first signal hole 211 is offset out of the first signal pad 2211, and the first signal hole 211 is difficult to electrically connect to the first signal pad 2211. Therefore, the interval between the center of the first signal hole 211 and the center of the first signal pad 2211 is 0.05-0.13 mm. The interval between the center of the second signal hole 212 and the center of the second signal pad 2212 is also 0.05-0.13 mm. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the layout of the circuit board 200, the offset of the first signal hole 211 relative to the first signal pad 2211 can be the same as the offset of the second signal hole 212 relative to the second signal pad 2212.

[0081] Figure 9 Structure of the circuit board provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 2 As shown in Figure 9 , the transmission of signals is divided into two parts: sending and receiving. Therefore, the signal hole unit 210 includes a plurality of sending signal hole units 210a and a plurality of receiving signal hole units 210b, and the number of the sending signal hole units 210a is the same as that of the receiving signal hole units 210b. The sending signal hole units 210a are located in the first area 200a, and the receiving signal hole units 210b are located in the second area 200b.

[0082] The number of the sending signal hole units 210a and the receiving signal hole units 210b can be set according to the types of signals to be transmitted. The first area 200a and the second area 200b are represented by the rectangular dashed lines in Figure 9 . It can be understood that the division of the first area 200a and the second area 200b is only to facilitate the distinction of the specific positions of the sending signal hole units 210a and the receiving signal hole units 210b in the circuit board 200.

[0083] Please continue to refer to Figure 9As shown in the embodiment of this application, there are five transmitting signal hole units 210a and five receiving signal hole units 210b, respectively referred to as the first transmitting signal hole unit 210a1, the second transmitting signal hole unit 210a2, the third transmitting signal hole unit 210a3, the fourth transmitting signal hole unit 210a4 and the fifth transmitting signal hole unit 210a5; and the first receiving signal hole unit 210b1, the second receiving signal hole unit 210b2, the third receiving signal hole unit 210b3, the fourth receiving signal hole unit 210b4 and the fifth receiving signal hole unit 210b5.

[0084] The transmitting signal hole unit 210a and the receiving signal hole unit 210b also need to be electrically connected to the circuit board 200 via leads. Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the circuit board structure provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 ; Figure 11 for Figure 10 The side view, in which, Figure 5 Based on the embodiments shown, Figure 10 The first surface 220 and the second surface 230 are omitted to clearly show the signal lead unit 240 and the lead layer 250. Figure 11 The first outgoing layer 251 and the second outgoing layer 252 are schematically shown within dashed boxes. See also Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the circuit board 200 also includes a plurality of signal lead units 240. Each signal lead unit 240 includes a plurality of transmitting lead units 241 and a plurality of receiving lead units 242 of the same number. The transmitting lead units 241 are electrically connected to the transmitting signal hole units 210a in a one-to-one correspondence, and the receiving lead units 242 are electrically connected to the receiving signal hole units 210b in a one-to-one correspondence. The circuit board 200 also includes a wiring layer 250, which includes a first wiring layer 251 and a second wiring layer 252. Both the first wiring layer 251 and the second wiring layer 252 are located between the first surface 220 and the second surface 230 along a third direction Z. The transmitting lead unit 241 extends along the second direction Y on the first wiring layer 251, and the receiving lead unit 242 extends along the second direction Y on the second wiring layer 252.

[0085] The signal lead unit 240 is the wiring in the circuit board 200, and the signal hole unit 210 is electrically connected to other electronic devices on the circuit board 200 through the signal lead unit 240.

[0086] The signal lead unit 240 electrically connected with the transmitting signal hole unit 210a is a transmitting lead unit 241, and the signal lead unit 240 electrically connected with the receiving signal hole unit 210b is a receiving lead unit 242. The signal is transmitted from the transmitting signal hole unit 210a, and reaches the receiving signal hole unit 210b via the transmitting lead unit 241 and the receiving lead unit 242, forming a loop of signal transmission.

[0087] In the related art, in order to reduce the crosstalk of signal transmission, the transmitting lead unit 241 needs two layers of wiring in the circuit board 200, and the receiving lead unit 242 also needs two layers of wiring in the circuit board 200, and a total of four layers of wiring are needed to complete the wiring of the signal lead unit 240. In the embodiment of the present application, since the second spacing D2 between the first signal hole 211 and the second signal hole 212 in the same signal hole unit 210 is reduced, the fourth spacing D4 between different signal hole units 210 is increased, and the crosstalk between different signal hole units 210 is reduced. Therefore, the transmitting lead unit 241 only needs one layer of wiring in the circuit board 200, and the transmitting lead unit 241 is arranged on the first lead-out layer 251, the receiving lead unit 242 only needs one layer of wiring in the circuit board 200, and the receiving lead unit 242 is arranged on the second lead-out layer 252, and only two layers of wiring are needed to complete the wiring of the signal lead unit 240, thereby reducing the number of layers of the circuit board 200 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the circuit board 200.

As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the circuit board 200 further comprises a plurality of ground via units 260, the ground via units 260 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X with the signal hole units 210, and the ground via units 260 are used to be electrically connected with the ground units 440 of the BGA chip 400 in the circuit board 200. Figure 2 The ground units 440 of the BGA chip 400 are electrically connected with the circuit board 200 through the ground via units 260, so as to ground the BGA chip 400. The signal hole units 210 are arranged at equal intervals along the first direction X, and the ground via units 260 are located between two adjacent signal hole units 210 along the first direction X.

[0089] Please continue to refer to

[0090] and Figure 12 , the ground via unit 260 comprises a first ground via 261 and a second ground via 262, and the first ground via 261 and the second ground via 262 are arranged along the second direction Y. Figure 13 Figure 2 ​The ground unit 440 of the BGA chip 400 in the figure includes a first ground solder ball 441, a second ground solder ball 442, and a third ground solder ball 443. When the BGA chip 400 is soldered to the circuit board 200, the first ground solder ball 441 is opposite to and electrically connected with the first ground via hole 261, the second ground solder ball 442 is opposite to and electrically connected with the second ground via hole 262, and the third ground solder ball 443 is located between the first ground solder ball 441 and the second ground solder ball 442 along the second direction Y; Figure 12 and Figure 13 The ground unit 440 is shown on one of the ground via hole units 260 in the figure. The circuit board 200 further includes a plurality of connectors 270, which are arranged one-to-one with the ground via hole units 260, and the first ground via hole 261 and the second ground via hole 262 are both electrically connected with the connectors 270, and the connectors 270 are used for electrical connection of the third ground solder ball 443.

[0091] The first ground solder ball 441 is soldered with the first ground via hole 261 through a pad on the circuit board 200, and the second ground solder ball 442 is soldered with the second ground via hole 262 through a pad on the circuit board 200. Since the first ground via hole 261 and the second ground via hole 262 are arranged along the second direction Y, the center distance between the first ground solder ball 441 and the second ground solder ball 442 is the same as the center distance between the first ground via hole 261 and the second ground via hole 262.

[0092] Please continue to refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The third ground solder ball 443 is further arranged between the first ground solder ball 441 and the second ground solder ball 442, and the circuit board 200 does not have a ground via hole corresponding to the third ground solder ball 443. In the related art, the number of the solder balls 420 in the ground unit 440 corresponds one-to-one to the number of the ground via holes 222n in the circuit board 200n, and the ground via holes 222n occupy a large space in the circuit board 200n, so that the distance between the lead and the signal via hole pair 223n is small, and the crosstalk between the lead and the signal via hole pair 223n is large. In the embodiment of the present application, the ground via hole opposite to the third ground solder ball 443 is removed, so that the space between the first ground via hole 261 and the second ground via hole 262 can be used by the signal lead unit 240, thereby increasing the distance between the signal lead unit 240 and the signal hole unit 210 and reducing the crosstalk between the signal lead unit 240 and the signal hole unit 210.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the electrical connection of the third ground solder ball 443 with the circuit board 200 is achieved through the connector 270. The specific structure of the connector 270 is described below.

Figure 14 Figure 5 Specifically, the surface copper layer 271 is arranged one-to-one with the ground via unit 260, the surface copper layer 271 extends along the second direction Y, and the length L of the surface copper layer 271 is greater than or equal to the interval between the first ground via 261 and the second ground via 262. One side of the surface copper layer 271 facing the ground via unit 260 is referred to as the first side 271a, and the other side of the surface copper layer 271 facing the BGA chip 400 is referred to as the second side 271b.

On the second side 271b, both ends of the surface copper layer 271 along the second direction Y are soldered with the first ground solder ball 441 and the second ground solder ball 442 respectively, and the center of the surface copper layer 271 along the second direction Y is soldered with the third ground solder ball 443, so as to realize the electrical connection between all the ground solder balls (the first ground solder ball 441, the second ground solder ball 442 and the third ground solder ball 443) in the ground unit 440 of the BGA chip 400 and the ground via unit 260 in the circuit board 200 through the surface copper layer 271.

Figure 16

[0098] ​The ground blind hole 272 extends along the third direction Z, one end of the ground blind hole 272 is located on the first surface 220 of the circuit board 200, and the ground blind hole 272 is welded with the third ground solder ball 443 through the solder pad on the circuit board 200, and the other end of the ground blind hole 272 is electrically connected with the ground layer 280, so as to realize the electrical connection between the third ground solder ball 443 and the ground layer 280 in the circuit board 200.

[0099] It is known that the first ground via hole 261 and the second ground via hole 262 are welded with the first ground solder ball 441 and the second ground solder ball 442 respectively, and the ground blind hole 272, the first ground via hole 261 and the second ground via hole 262 are all electrically connected with the ground layer 280, so that all the ground solder balls (the first ground solder ball 441, the second ground solder ball 442 and the third ground solder ball 443) in the ground unit 440 of the BGA chip 400 are electrically connected with the ground layer 280 of the circuit board 200.

[0100] It should be noted that the ground layer 280 needs to be arranged between the outgoing line layer 250 and the first surface 220, so that the ground blind hole 272 occupies the space on the outgoing line layer 250, so that the distance between the signal lead unit 240 and the signal hole unit 210 on the outgoing line layer 250 is increased, and the crosstalk between the signal lead unit 240 and the signal hole unit 210 is reduced.

The near-end crosstalk refers to the crosstalk generated by the sending signal hole unit 210a to the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi. In Figure 17 and Figure 18 In the and, the abscissa represents the frequency during signal transmission, the unit is GHz, and the ordinate represents the signal-to-noise ratio after the near-end crosstalk suffered by the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi, the unit is dB.

It can be understood that the closer the distance to the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi, the greater the crosstalk caused to the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi, and the lower the signal-to-noise ratio. The farther the distance to the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi, the smaller the crosstalk caused to the interfered signal hole unit 210Vi, and the higher the signal-to-noise ratio.
