The wrap-around ground layer 114c is located between the plurality of second conductive vias V2 and the first conductive via V1, and is electrically connected to the plurality of second conductive vias V2.

The equivalent circuit X1 of the signal transmission structure ST1 includes at least a first equivalent circuit C1, a second equivalent circuit C2, a third equivalent circuit C3, and a fourth equivalent circuit C4. The first equivalent circuit C1 corresponds to the first bottom wiring layer 132b and the second bottom wiring layer 134b corresponding to the first bottom wiring layer 132b, for example, it may correspond to... Figure 1 The first transmission segment S11 is shown in the diagram. The second equivalent circuit C2 corresponds to the encasing loop ground layer 114c, the insulating structure 116, and a portion of the first conductive via V1 corresponding to the encasing loop ground layer 114c, for example, it may correspond to...

Figure 1 The fourth transmission segment S14 is shown in the figure. In some embodiments, the signal transmission structure ST1 includes a signal transmission via ST11, which is composed of a first transmission segment S11, a second transmission segment S12, a third transmission segment S13, and a fourth transmission segment S14.
[0043] The first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4 each correspond to different uniform transmission segments. These circuits are connected in series using the ABCD transmission matrix principle. In this paper, a uniform transmission segment refers to a transmission segment whose equivalent circuit has a constant unit length parameter at a fixed signal frequency. Specifically, the equivalent circuit of a uniform transmission segment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the circuit consists of multiple RLGC circuit units U connected in series. Each RLGC circuit unit U represents the equivalent circuit for a unit length of signal transmission from one cross section in this transmission segment. Each RLGC circuit unit U in the equivalent circuit of the uniform transmission segment has the same resistance (R), inductance (L), conductance (G), and capacitance (C) per unit length at a fixed signal frequency. That is, the unit length parameters (including inductance, capacitance, resistance, and conductance) of the equivalent circuit of the uniform transmission segment are constant.
[0044] The ABCD transmission matrix cascade principle refers to the fact that different equivalent circuits connected in series can be represented by multiplying their ABCD transmission matrices sequentially according to the order in which they are connected, thus obtaining the ABCD transmission matrix of the overall equivalent circuit. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the equivalent circuit X11 of the signal transmission via ST11 is composed of the first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4 connected in series in sequence. That is, the ABCD transmission matrix of the equivalent circuit X11 is equal to the product of the ABCD transmission matrices of the first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4, as shown in equation (1) below.
[0045]
[0046] The ABCD transmission matrix is composed of unit length resistance (R), unit length inductance (L), unit length conductance (G), and unit length capacitance (C) in the equivalent circuit. Equation (2) is an example of the representation of a general transmission line.
[0047]
[0048] Where l is the length of the uniform transmission section, Z0 is the reference impedance, and γ is the propagation constant expressed by equation (3).
[0049]
[0050] Where f is the frequency, and R(f), L(f), G(f), and C(f) are functions of frequency for resistance, inductance, conductance, and capacitance per unit length, respectively.
[0051] The ABCD transmission matrix can be further transformed to obtain the S-parameter matrix (also known as the scattering matrix) to obtain the frequency domain characteristics of the transmission segment. In other words, the frequency domain characteristics of the signal transmission via ST11 are related to the unit length parameters in the first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4. By adjusting the corresponding unit length parameters through the structural design of each transmission segment, the signal transmission via ST11 can meet the impedance matching requirements.
[0052] In some embodiments, the unit length parameters of the first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4 are different from each other. In other words, the uniform transmission segments corresponding to the first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4 have different electrical characteristics, such as having different geometries or containing different dielectric or conductive materials. The signal transmission via ST11 can select the structure or material of the corresponding uniform transmission segment through the design of the first equivalent circuit C1, the second equivalent circuit C2, the third equivalent circuit C3, and the fourth equivalent circuit C4 to achieve impedance matching requirements.
[0053] In some embodiments, a first bottom wiring layer 132b, a first conductive via V1, and a first top wiring layer 132a define a signal transmission path L11. A second bottom wiring layer 134b, a wraparound ground layer 114c, a second conductive via V2, and a second top wiring layer 134a define a ground path L12, which surrounds the signal transmission path L11. In this way, the signal transmission path L11 is surrounded and enclosed by the ground path L12, allowing high-frequency, high-speed signals to be transmitted through the signal transmission path L11 and generate a return signal via the ground path L12, thus forming a good high-frequency, high-speed loop.

The dielectric loss of insulating structure 116 is greater than 0 and less than 0.1; lower dielectric loss results in higher signal quality.

The first top pad portion 132a-1 is disposed at the end of the first conductive via V1 and is electrically connected to the first conductive via V1. The first top wiring portion 132a-2 extends from the first top pad portion 132a-1 and is electrically connected to the first top pad portion 132a-1.
[0064] In some embodiments, the fourth equivalent circuit C4 may correspond to the first top pad portion 132a-1, and the fifth equivalent circuit C5 may correspond to the first top line portion 132a-2.

[0065] In some embodiments, the fifth equivalent circuit C5 may correspond to multiple uniform transmission segments, the equivalent circuits of which are connected in series according to the ABCD transmission matrix series connection principle to achieve impedance matching. For example, in Figure 4B In the embodiment, the first top line portion 132a-2 has a tapered linewidth near the first top pad portion 132a-1. Different linewidths can represent different uniform transmission segments. Through the tapered linewidth design of the first top line portion 132a-2, the fifth equivalent circuit C5 can have the expected resistance, inductance, conductance, and capacitance parameters, thereby achieving the impedance matching requirement. Figure 4C In the embodiment, the first top line portion 132a-2 can be formed by connecting multiple line segments a, b and c with different line widths. That is, the ABCD transmission matrix of the equivalent circuit (i.e. the fifth equivalent circuit C5) of the first top line portion 132a-2 is equal to the product of the ABCD transmission matrices of the equivalent circuits of multiple line segments a, b and c, as shown in the following equation (5).

In some embodiments, the first transmission segment S1 includes the first bottom pad p3 and a plurality of second bottom pads p4, and the bottom wiring layer 130b and the second cover layer 140b have the same material, such as copper. Therefore, the first transmission segment S11 is a uniform transmission segment, which is equivalent to Figure 2 The first equivalent circuit C1 in the diagram. In other embodiments, the bottom line layer 130b and the second cover layer 140b may be made of different materials, in which case the first transmission segment S11 can be regarded as two different uniform transmission segments, each corresponding to an equivalent circuit with different unit length parameters.
