DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Embodiment 1 A printed wiring board according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. The printed wiring board according to the first embodiment is intended for a printed wiring board in which insulating layers and conductor layers are alternately laminated, and for a printed wiring board on which a semiconductor integrated circuit device (IC) having an array terminal structure, such as a BGA (Ball Grid Array), is mounted on the surface.

[0011] The semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 has a plurality of solder balls as external terminals on its bottom surface, and the plurality of solder balls are arranged in a lattice pattern with a pitch of 0.65 mm vertically and horizontally. Some of the plurality of solder balls constitute a plurality of power supply terminals 40a, a plurality of ground terminals 40b, and a plurality of signal terminals 40c. The plurality of power supply terminals 40a and the plurality of ground terminals 40b are grouped together to form a lattice pattern. Condition are located at.

[0012] 1 to 3 are diagrams showing the main parts for mainly explaining the characteristic parts of the printed wiring board according to embodiment 1, that is, the part where a plurality of power supply pads 11a and a plurality of ground pads 11b are arranged in a cluster, as well as the conductor layer having a power supply pattern and the conductor layer having a ground pattern. For the sake of simplicity, the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 is shown to have one power supply terminal 40a, one ground terminal 40b, and two signal terminals 40c. The relationships in other parts of the printed wiring board are similar to those in commonly known multi-layer printed wiring boards, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0013] The printed wiring board according to the first embodiment has eight conductor layers, but is not limited to eight conductor layers, and may have at least six conductor layers. As shown in FIG. 1, the multiple conductor layers are stacked in the following order from the front surface: front surface conductor layer 11, second conductor layer 12, third conductor layer 13, fourth conductor layer 14, fifth conductor layer 15, sixth conductor layer 16, seventh conductor layer 17, and back surface conductor layer 18.

[0014] The insulating layers are interposed between the conductor layers. That is, rear insulating layer 27 has rear conductor layer 18 formed on the rear surface by copper plating or vapor deposition, and seventh conductor layer 17 formed on the front surface by copper plating or vapor deposition. The sixth insulating layer 26 is formed by coating and solidifying a resin such as epoxy resin or polyimide on the surface of the back insulating layer 27 so as to cover the surface of the seventh conductor layer 17, and the sixth conductor layer 16 is formed on the surface by copper plating or vapor deposition.

[0015] The fifth to second insulating layers 25-22 are similarly formed by coating and solidifying a resin such as epoxy resin or polyimide so as to cover the surfaces of the conductor layers 16-13 formed in each layer on the surface of the insulating layer 26-23 immediately below, and the conductor layers 15-12 are formed on the surfaces by copper plating or vapor deposition. The surface insulating layer 21 is formed by coating and solidifying a resin such as epoxy resin or polyimide on the surface of the second insulating layer 22 so as to cover the second conductor layer 12, and the surface conductor layer 11 is formed on the surface by copper plating or vapor deposition.

[0016] In addition, the front conductor layer 11 and the front insulating layer 21, the second conductor layer 12 and the second insulating layer 22, the third conductor layer 13 and the third insulating layer 23, the fourth conductor layer 14 and the fourth insulating layer 24, the fifth conductor layer 15 and the fifth insulating layer 25, the sixth conductor layer 16 and the sixth insulating layer 26, the seventh conductor layer 17 and the rear insulating layer 27 and the rear conductor layer 18 may each be an insulating sheet with copper foil, and the insulating sheets with copper foil may be overlapped, i.e., stacked.

[0017] The conductor layer 11 on the surface has a power supply wiring pattern 11A, a ground wiring pattern 11B, and a signal wiring pattern 11C, as well as a plurality of power supply pads 11a, a plurality of ground pads 11b, and a plurality of signal pads 11c. The plurality of power supply pads 11a and the plurality of ground pads 11b are arranged corresponding to the plurality of power supply terminals 40a and the plurality of ground terminals 40b in the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40, respectively.

[0018] When mounted on a printed wiring board, the multiple power supply terminals 40a and the multiple ground terminals 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 are electrically and mechanically connected to the multiple power supply pads 11a and the multiple ground pads 1b, respectively, by soldering. FIG. 2 shows a diagram in which a plurality of power supply pads 11a and a plurality of ground pads 11b are concentratedly arranged.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the multiple power supply pads 11a and the multiple ground pads 11b are composed of pads arranged in a grid pattern in multiple rows and columns, with the multiple power supply pads 11a and the multiple ground pads 11b arranged in columns, with the power supply pads 11a arranged in the first, fourth and fifth columns, and the ground pads 11b arranged in the second, third and sixth columns. That is, the power supply pads 11a and the ground pads 11b are arranged alternately every two rows.

[0020] The pads are arranged in a grid pattern of multiple rows and columns, with the pitch (the distance between the centers of the circles) in both the row and column directions being 0.65 mm. Each of the plurality of power supply pads 11a and the plurality of ground pads 11b has a substantially circular planar shape with a diameter of 0.30 mm.

[0021] The second conductor layer 12 has a ground pattern. The ground pattern is a conductor layer pattern that is provided on the entire surface of the second insulating layer 22 via a clearance 41 between it and a power supply through hole 31 described later and a clearance (not shown) between it and a signal wiring through hole (not shown), and is electrically connected to the side wall of the ground through hole 32.

[0022] The third conductor layer 13 has a power supply pattern. The power supply pattern is a conductor layer pattern provided on the surface of the third insulating layer 23 with clearance 42 between it and the ground through hole 32 and with a clearance (not shown) between it and the signal wiring through hole, and is electrically connected to the side wall of the power supply through hole 31. Since only the thin second insulating layer 22 is interposed between the third conductor layer 13 and the second conductor layer 12, a parasitic capacitance for high frequencies exists between the ground pattern on the second conductor layer 12 and the power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13.

[0023] The fourth conductor layer 14 has a ground pattern. The ground pattern is a conductor layer pattern that is provided on the entire surface of the fourth insulating layer 24 with a clearance 41 between it and the power through hole 31 and a clearance (not shown) between it and the signal wiring through hole, and is electrically connected to the side wall of the ground through hole 32.

[0024] The fifth conductor layer 15 and the sixth conductor layer 16 each have a signal wiring pattern in which a plurality of wires are formed. Each of the plurality of wires in the signal wiring pattern is electrically connected to the sidewall of the corresponding signal wiring through hole, and the signal wiring through holes other than the corresponding signal wiring through hole are formed apart from the power supply through hole 31 and the ground through hole 32.

[0025] The seventh conductor layer 17 has a ground pattern. The ground pattern is a conductor layer pattern that is provided on the entire surface of the insulating layer 27 on the back side with a clearance 41 between it and the power through hole 31 and a clearance (not shown) between it and the signal wiring through hole, and is electrically connected to the side wall of the ground through hole 32.

[0026] The conductor layer 18 on the back surface has a power supply wiring pattern 18A, a ground wiring pattern 18B, and a signal wiring pattern 18C, as well as a plurality of power supply pads 18a, a plurality of ground pads 18b, and a plurality of signal pads (not shown). FIG. 3 is a perspective view from the surface, and all overlapping parts are shown by solid lines.

[0027] The multiple power supply side pads 18a and the multiple ground side pads 18b are arranged in a grid pattern with multiple rows and columns as shown in FIG. 3. In the columns, the power supply side pads 18a and the ground side pads 18b are arranged alternately, and in the rows, the ground side pads 18b are arranged in the first, fourth and fifth columns, and the power supply side pads 18a are arranged in the second, third and sixth columns.

[0028] That is, the power supply pads 18a and the ground pads 18b are arranged alternately in columns and alternately every two columns in rows. In addition, in each row, adjacent power supply side pads 18a and ground side pads 18b are arranged so that the line segment connecting the power supply side pads 18a and ground side pads 18b is inclined at 30 degrees with respect to the row, and the midpoint of the line segment is located on the line connecting the adjacent power supply side pads 18a and ground side pads 18b. The power supply side pads 18a in adjacent rows in adjacent columns are connected by power supply wiring in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A, and the ground side pads 18b in adjacent rows in adjacent columns are connected by ground wiring in the ground wiring side pattern 18B.

[0029] The pitches (center-to-center distances of circles) in both the row and column directions of the power supply pads 18a and ground pads 18b arranged in a lattice shape of multiple rows and columns are 0.65 mm. Each of the multiple power supply side pads 18a and ground side pads 18b has a substantially circular planar shape with a diameter of 0.30 mm.

[0030] In each row, a bypass capacitor 50 is connected between adjacent power supply side pads 18a and ground side pads 18b. The bypass capacitor 50 is a surface-mount type laminated ceramic capacitor with a 0603 square chip structure, and is a roughly rectangular parallelepiped with dimensions of 0.3 mm in height, 0.3 mm in width and 0.6 mm in length, with terminals 50a, 50b at both ends.

[0031] When mounted on a printed wiring board, one terminal 50a and the other terminal 50b of the bypass capacitor 50 are electrically and mechanically connected to the multiple power supply side pads 18a and the multiple ground side pads 18b, respectively, by soldering. The bypass capacitor 50 has its midpoint in the length direction located on the line connecting the adjacent power supply side pad 18a and ground side pad 18b, and is mounted on the back surface of the printed wiring board at an angle of 30 degrees to the row.

[0032] The thickness t of the thus configured printed wiring board having eight conductor layers is 1.0 mm to 1.6 mm, which is the thickness from the front surface of conductor layer 11 on the front side to the rear surface of conductor layer 18 on the rear side, as shown in FIG.

[0033] Next, the power supply through hole 31 and the ground through hole 32 will be described. In the printed wiring board of embodiment 1, the through hole has a surface land formed on the surface of the insulating layer located on the surface, a back land formed on the back surface of the insulating layer located on the back surface, an intermediate layer land formed on the surface of the insulating layer of an inner layer having a conductor layer formed on the surface and connected to the conductor layer of the inner layer, and a penetrating conductor layer (via) provided on the inner wall of the through hole reaching from the insulating layer located on the surface to the insulating layer located on the back surface and electrically connecting the surface land, back land, and intermediate layer land. The through conductor layer is formed by conductor plating along the inner wall of a through hole formed by drilling from the surface of the insulating layer located on the front surface to the back surface of the insulating layer located on the back surface, from the surface of the conductor layer located on the front surface to the back surface of the conductor layer located on the back surface.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, each of the multiple power supply through holes 31 has a front land 31a formed on the front insulating layer 21 and connected to a power supply pad 11a formed on the front insulating layer 21 via a power supply wiring layer in the power supply wiring pattern 11A, a back land 31b formed on the back surface of the back insulating layer 21 and connected to a power supply side pad 18a formed on the back surface of the back insulating layer 27 via a power supply side wiring layer in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A, and a through conductor layer (via) 31c provided on the inner wall of the through hole reaching from the front surface of the front insulating layer 21 to the back surface of the back insulating layer 27, electrically connecting the front land 31a and the back land 31b.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 1, each of the multiple ground through holes 32 has a front land 32a formed on the front insulating layer 21 and connected to a ground pad 11b formed on the front insulating layer 21 via a ground wiring layer in the ground wiring pattern 11B, a back land 32b formed on the back surface of the back insulating layer 27 and connected to a ground side pad 18b formed on the back surface of the back insulating layer 27 via a ground side wiring layer in the ground wiring side pattern 18B, and a through conductor layer (via) 32c provided on the inner wall of the through hole reaching from the front surface of the front insulating layer 21 to the back surface of the back insulating layer 27, electrically connecting the front land 32a and the back land 32b.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, the multiple power supply through holes 31 and the multiple ground through holes 32 have one less row than the power supply pads 11a and ground pads 11b arranged in a grid pattern, and are arranged in odd-numbered columns. That is, the power supply through holes 31 and the ground through holes 32 are arranged alternately in the column direction between a plurality of power supply pads 11a arranged in a column direction and a plurality of ground pads 11b arranged in the adjacent column direction.

[0037] The power supply through holes 31 and the ground through holes 32 arranged alternately in the column direction are located between adjacent rows, in other words, between the power supply pads 11a arranged adjacently in the column direction, and between the ground pads 11b arranged adjacently in the column direction. That is, the power supply through-hole 31 or the ground through-hole 32 is disposed at the center of a square formed by two adjacent power supply pads 11a and two adjacent ground pads 11b.

[0038] The multiple power supply through holes 31 and the multiple ground through holes 32 are alternately arranged in the column direction at a pitch of 0.65 mm (distance between the centers of the circles) and in the row direction at a pitch of 1.30 mm (distance between the centers of the circles), which is twice the pitch in the column direction. Each of the plurality of power supply through holes 31 and the plurality of ground through holes 32 has a through hole diameter of 0.20 mm, in which the through conductor layer 31c and the through conductor layer 32c are formed.

[0039] In each of the power supply through holes 31, the front surface land 31a is connected to the power supply pads 11a located in two adjacent rows of adjacent columns via the power supply wiring layer in the power supply wiring pattern 11A as shown in FIG. 2, and the back surface land 31b is connected to the power supply side pad 18a located in the adjacent row of the adjacent column via the power supply side wiring layer in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A as shown in FIG. 3. In other words, in each of the power supply through holes 31, the front surface lands 31a are electrically connected to the two closest power supply pads 11a, and the back surface lands 31b are electrically connected to the two closest power supply pads 18a.

[0040] In each of the ground through holes 32, the front surface land 32a is connected to ground pads 11b located in two adjacent rows of adjacent columns via the ground wiring layer in the ground wiring pattern 11B as shown in FIG. 2, and the back surface land 32b is connected to ground side pads 18b located in adjacent rows of adjacent columns via the ground side wiring layer in the ground wiring pattern 18B as shown in FIG. 3. That is, in each of the ground through holes 32, the front surface land 32a is electrically connected to the nearest ground pad 11b, and the back surface land 32b is electrically connected to the nearest ground pad 18b.

[0041] By configuring in this manner, the power supply pad 11a is connected to the power supply through hole 31 arranged in the adjacent row of the adjacent column via the power supply wiring in the power supply wiring pattern 11A, and is connected to the power supply side pad 18a arranged in the adjacent row of the adjacent column via the power supply wiring in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A. In addition, the ground pad 11b is connected to a ground through hole 32 arranged in an adjacent row of an adjacent column via a ground wiring in the ground wiring pattern 11B, and is connected to a ground side pad 18b arranged in an adjacent row of an adjacent column via a ground wiring in the ground wiring side pattern 18B.

[0042] When the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 and the bypass capacitor 50 are mounted on a printed wiring board, a current path for high frequency is formed from each power supply terminal 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 through the corresponding power supply pad 11a--the power supply wiring in the power supply wiring pattern 11A--the power supply through hole 31 arranged in an adjacent row of an adjacent column--the power supply wiring in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A--the power supply side pad 18a arranged in an adjacent row of an adjacent column--the bypass capacitor 50--the ground side pad 18b arranged in an adjacent row of an adjacent column--the ground wiring in the ground wiring side pattern 18B--the ground through hole 32--the ground wiring in the ground wiring pattern 11B--the ground pad 11b to each ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40.

[0043] Next, it will be described how, when the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 and the bypass capacitor 50 are mounted on a printed wiring board and the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 is operating, the printed wiring board of embodiment 1 can keep the impedance between the power supply pad 11a and the ground pad 11b low up to the high frequency range.

[0044] When a bypass capacitor 50 is connected between the power supply terminal 40a and the ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 in order to suppress fluctuations in power supply voltage due to high frequencies such as switching noise, it is necessary to reduce the impedance of the entire system between the power supply pad 11a to which the power supply terminal 40a is connected and the ground pad 11b to which the ground terminal 40b is connected. To reduce the impedance, it is necessary to increase the capacitance and reduce the inductance.

[0045] First, the ability to maintain low impedance up to high frequency ranges will be explained using Figure 4, which shows the frequency characteristics of a capacitor. In Figure 4, the horizontal axis is the logarithm of frequency, and the vertical axis is the logarithm of impedance. A capacitor exhibits characteristics close to the ideal capacitance C for frequencies below its self-resonant frequency, and its impedance Z can be expressed by the following equation (1) and is inversely proportional to the frequency (ω). Z=1 / jωC (1) In FIG. 4, line C1 represents the characteristic line based on equation (1) when capacitance C is large, and line C2 represents the characteristic line based on equation (1) when capacitance C is small. From the lines C1 and C2, it can be seen that the impedance Z is lower as the capacitance C is larger.

[0046] On the other hand, for frequencies equal to or higher than the self-resonant frequency, the inductance L in the system to which the capacitor is connected becomes dominant, and the impedance Z can be expressed by the following equation (2) and is proportional to the frequency (ω). Z=jωL (2) In FIG. 4, line L1 indicates the characteristic line based on equation (2) when inductance L is small, and line L2 indicates the characteristic line based on equation (2) when inductance L is large. It can be seen from the straight lines L1 and L2 that the impedance Z is lower when the inductance L is smaller.

[0047] In recent years, the data read / write speed of semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 has been increasing, and the high frequency caused by switching noise and the like generated by high-speed data read / write in semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 is equal to or higher than the self-resonant frequency of bypass capacitor 50, and is often used in the region dominated by inductance L. Therefore, the printed wiring board according to embodiment 1 exhibits a characteristic due to the bypass capacitor that is a combination of the capacitance characteristic below the self-resonant frequency of the bypass capacitor and the inductance characteristic above the self-resonant frequency, and is configured such that the capacitance C has a large value C1 and the inductance L has a small value L1, as shown by the thick line R in FIG. 4.

[0048] In light of the above, a current path that flows between power supply terminal 40a and ground terminal 40b of semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 in the printed wiring board according to the first embodiment will be described. That is, a current path from a power supply source to semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 and a current path for high frequency waves due to switching noise etc. generated by high speed data reading and writing in semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0049] The current path from the power supply source to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 is a path from the power supply source (not shown) to the multiple power supply terminals 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 via the power supply pattern in the third conductor layer 13--the multiple power supply through holes 31--the multiple power supply wires in the power supply wiring pattern 11A--the multiple power supply pads 11a, as shown by arrow i1 in FIG. 5. The current path i1 is the most important path of a DC-like current for supplying DC power to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40.

[0050] There are two current paths for high frequency, as shown in FIG. 5 by arrows i2 and i3. Current path i2 is a path from the ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 to the power supply terminal 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 via the ground pad 11b corresponding to the ground terminal 40b, the ground wiring in the ground wiring pattern 11B, the ground through-hole 32, the ground wiring in the ground wiring side pattern 18B, the ground side pad 18b, the bypass capacitor 50, the power supply side pad 18a, the power supply wiring in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A, the power supply through-hole 31, the power supply wiring in the power supply wiring pattern 11A, and the power supply pad 11a.

[0051] Similar current paths i2 are formed between the plurality of ground terminals 40b and the plurality of power supply terminals 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40, respectively. Since the bypass capacitor 50 is connected between the power supply terminal 40a and the ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40, the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 responds quickly to high-frequency power supply voltage fluctuations caused by switching noise, etc., generated by high-speed data reading and writing in the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40.

[0052] In terms of an equivalent circuit, as shown in Figure 6, the current path i2 is a path from the ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 to the power terminal 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 via an inductance component L321 from the front surface land 32a of the ground through hole 32 to the connection point of the ground through hole 32 with the ground pattern on the second conductor layer 12-an inductance component L322 from the connection point of the ground through hole 32 with the ground pattern on the second conductor layer 12 to the back surface land 32b-a capacitance component C50 of the bypass capacitor 50-an inductance component L312 from the back surface land 31b of the power supply through hole 31 to the connection point of the power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13-an inductance component L311 from the connection point of the power supply through hole 31 with the power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13 to the front surface land 31a.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 3, the bypass capacitors 50 arranged in the current path i2 are arranged between adjacent power supply pads 18a and ground side pads 18b in each row of the multiple power supply pads 18a and ground side pads 18b that are arranged alternately in columns and alternately every two columns in rows. This allows a large number of bypass capacitors 50 to be arranged closely together, and the capacitance C between the power supply pad 11a and the ground pad 11b is large.

[0054] On the other hand, since similar current paths i2 are formed between the multiple ground terminals 40b and the multiple power supply terminals 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40, the inductance component L321, the inductance component L322, the inductance component L312, and the inductance component L311 of the multiple current paths i2 as a whole are each reduced.

[0055] Moreover, since the multiple power supply through holes 31 and the multiple ground through holes 32 are arranged alternately in close proximity in the column and row directions, as shown in Figure 7, mutual induction due to high-frequency currents I1, I2 flowing through adjacent power supply through holes 31 and ground through holes 32 is strong, and since the directions of the high-frequency currents are opposite, the magnetic fluxes Φ1, Φ2 generated by each high-frequency current cancel each other out, so mutual inductance M1 and mutual inductance M2 come into effect, and the inductance component L321, inductance component L322, inductance component L312, and inductance component L311 are further reduced.

[0056] Since the thickness of the second insulating layer 22 is thin, a parasitic capacitance for high frequencies exists between the ground pattern in the second conductor layer 12 and the power supply pattern in the third conductor layer 13. As a result, a current path i3 for high frequencies exists. Current path i3 is a path from ground terminal 40b of semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 to multiple power supply terminals 40a of semiconductor integrated circuit device 40, via ground pad 11b corresponding to multiple ground terminals 40b, ground wiring in ground wiring pattern 11B, ground through hole 32, ground pattern on second conductor layer 12, parasitic capacitance between the ground pattern on the second conductor layer 12 and the power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13, power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13, power supply through hole 31, power supply wiring in power supply wiring pattern 11A, and power supply pad 11a. Similar current paths exist between the multiple ground terminals 40b and the multiple power supply terminals 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40. i3 is formed.

[0057] In terms of an equivalent circuit, as shown in Figure 6, the current path i3 is a path from the multiple ground terminals 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 to the multiple power supply terminals 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40, via an inductance component L321 from the surface land 32a of the multiple ground through-holes 32 to the connection point of the multiple ground through-holes 32 with the ground pattern on the second conductor layer 12, a capacitance component C22 between the ground pattern on the second conductor layer 12 and the power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13, and an inductance component L311 from the connection point of the multiple power supply through-holes 31 with the power supply pattern on the third conductor layer 13 to the surface land 31a. The current path i3 is short, and the inductance component L321 and the inductance component L311 are small, so that the inductance component of the current path as a whole for high frequencies is small.

[0058] Therefore, in the printed wiring board according to embodiment 1, a large number of bypass capacitors 50 can be arranged, the capacitance C can be set large, and the inductance L of the current paths i2 and i3 as a whole for high frequencies can be set small, so that the impedance Z between the power supply pad 11a and the ground pad 11b can be reduced, and fluctuations in the power supply voltage due to adverse effects of high frequencies such as switching noise and the like, which causes malfunctions, can be suppressed.

[0059] As described above, in the printed wiring board of embodiment 1, firstly, in a printed wiring board in which insulating layers and conductor layers are alternately laminated multiple times, a ground pattern is provided on the second conductor layer from the front surface, and a power supply pattern is provided on a conductor layer that is third or later from the front surface and is located on the front side of the center of the thickness from the conductor layer on the front surface to the conductor layer on the back surface. As a result, a current path i3 for high frequencies is formed between the power supply pad and ground pad formed on the conductor layer on the front surface, and the inductance component of the overall current path for high frequencies can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress malfunctions caused by fluctuations in the power supply voltage due to adverse effects of high frequencies such as switching noise.

[0060] Secondly, the multiple power supply through holes and the multiple ground through holes are arranged alternately in the column direction between the multiple power supply pads arranged in the column direction and the multiple ground pads arranged in the adjacent column direction, so that mutual induction due to high frequency current works strongly between the power supply through holes and the ground through holes, resulting in an effect of mutual inductance, thereby reducing the inductance in the current path i2 and the current path i3 for high frequencies. As a result, it is possible to suppress malfunctions caused by fluctuations in the power supply voltage due to adverse effects of high frequencies such as switching noise.

[0061] Thirdly, the multiple power supply through holes and the multiple ground through holes are arranged alternately in the column direction between the multiple power supply pads arranged in the column direction and the multiple ground pads arranged in the adjacent column direction, and are also arranged alternately in the row direction. This allows a large number of bypass capacitors to be arranged closely together, thereby increasing the capacitance in the current path i2. As a result, it is possible to suppress malfunctions caused by fluctuations in the power supply voltage due to adverse effects of high frequencies such as switching noise.

[0062] Fourth, since the power supply side pads and ground side pads are arranged such that the bypass capacitors are inclined with respect to the row direction, a large number of bypass capacitors can be arranged closely together, thereby increasing the capacitance in the current path i2. As a result, it is possible to suppress malfunctions caused by fluctuations in the power supply voltage due to adverse effects of high frequencies such as switching noise.

[0063] Fifth, the power supply through hole and the ground through hole each have a front surface land, which is connected to the power supply pad to which the power supply terminal of the semiconductor integrated circuit device is connected, in the insulating layer located on the front surface, and a back surface land, which is connected to the power supply pad to which one terminal of the bypass capacitor is connected, in the insulating layer located on the back surface. The power supply through hole and the ground through hole each have a front surface land, which is connected to the power supply pad to which one terminal of the bypass capacitor is connected, in the insulating layer located on the back surface. The front surface land and the back surface pad are electrically connected to each other in the inner wall of the through hole, which reaches from the front surface of the insulating layer located on the front surface to the back surface of the insulating layer located on the back surface, and the through conductor layer is electrically connected to the power supply pattern or the ground pattern on the side wall. This allows the printed wiring board to be produced at low cost.

[0064] Embodiment 2 A printed wiring board according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The printed wiring board of the second embodiment differs from the printed wiring board of the first embodiment in that the printed wiring board is composed of pads arranged in a lattice shape with multiple power supply pads 11a and multiple ground pads 11b in multiple rows and multiple columns, with the row pitch being the same as the column pitch, and with multiple power supply pads 11a and multiple ground pads 11b and multiple power through holes 31 and ground through holes 32 arranged in a manner corresponding to the arrangement of the multiple power supply pads 11a and multiple ground pads 11b, in that the power supply pads 11a and ground pads 11b are arranged in a lattice shape with the row pitch longer than the column pitch, and with the power supply pads 11a and ground pads 11b and power through holes 31 and ground through holes 32 arranged in a manner corresponding to the arrangement of the multiple power supply pads 11a and ground pads 11b, but is otherwise the same. In addition, in each figure, the same symbols indicate the same or corresponding parts.

[0065] The printed wiring board according to the second embodiment is a printed wiring board for mounting a high-speed memory, such as a low-power double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (LPDDR4-SDRAM), as a semiconductor integrated circuit device 40. The LPDDR4-SDRAM has multiple solder balls as external terminals on the bottom surface, and the multiple solder balls are arranged in a grid pattern with a vertical pitch of 0.65 mm and a horizontal pitch of 0.80 mm, forming a BGA package. Some of the multiple solder balls form power terminals 40a, ground terminals 40b, and multiple signal terminals 40c. The power terminals 40a and ground terminals 40b are arranged in a group.

[0066] FIG. 8 shows two power supply pads 11a, one ground pad 11b, one power supply through hole 31, and one ground through hole 32. As shown in FIG. When mounted on a printed wiring board, the two power supply terminals 40a and the ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 are electrically and mechanically connected to the two power supply pads 11a and the one ground pad 1b by soldering. The two power supply pads 11a are arranged in adjacent columns and adjacent rows, with a spacing of 0.80 mm between the two power supply pads 11a in the row direction and 0.65 mm between the two power supply pads 11a in the column direction.

[0067] The ground pad 11b is disposed adjacent to one of the two power supply pads 11a in the row direction, and adjacent to the other of the two power supply pads 11a in the column direction. The row distance between ground pad 11b and one of the power supply pads adjacent thereto in the row direction is 0.80 mm, and the column distance between ground pad 11b and the other power supply pad adjacent thereto in the column direction is 0.65 mm. Each of the power supply pad 11a and the ground pad 11b has a substantially circular planar shape with a diameter of 0.30 mm.

[0068] The power supply through hole 31 is disposed at the midpoint of the line segment connecting the two power supply pads 11a. The power through hole 31 has a surface land 31a connected to two power pads 11a via a power wiring layer in the power wiring pattern 11A. The power supply through-hole 31 has a surface land 31a electrically connected to the two power supply pads 11a located closest to each other.

[0069] Ground through-hole 32 is disposed adjacent to power through-hole 31 in the row direction on the ground pad 11b side. The surface land 32a of the ground through hole 32 is connected to the ground pad 11b via the ground wiring layer in the ground wiring pattern 11B. The ground through hole 32 has a surface land 32a electrically connected to the nearest ground pad 11b.

[0070] Power supply through hole 31 and ground through hole 32 are arranged 0.80 mm apart in the row direction and are close to each other. As a result, as shown in Figure 7, mutual induction due to the high-frequency currents flowing through adjacent power supply through hole 31 and ground through hole 32 is strong. Moreover, since the directions of the high-frequency currents are opposite, the magnetic fluxes generated by each high-frequency current cancel each other out, and the inductance of power supply through hole 31 and ground through hole 32 is small.

[0071] FIG. 9 is a perspective view from the front, with all overlapping portions shown in solid lines, and shows power supply pad 18a, ground side pad 18b, power supply through hole 31, ground through hole 32, and bypass capacitor 50. The power supply through hole 31 and the ground through hole 32 shown in FIG. 9 are the same as the power supply through hole 31 and the ground through hole 32 shown in FIG.

[0072] The power supply side pad 18a and the ground side pad 18b are arranged adjacent to each other in a straight line in the row direction, are close to the power supply through hole 31 and the ground through hole 32 in the column direction, and are located between the power supply through hole 31 and the ground through hole 32. The distance between the power supply pads 18a and the ground pads 18b in the row direction is the same as the length of the bypass capacitor 50, 0.6 mm.

[0073] The back surface land 31b of the power through hole 31 is connected to the power supply side pad 18a via the power supply wiring layer in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A. The power supply through hole 31 is electrically connected to the power supply side pad 18a to which the back surface land 31b is closest.

[0074] The back surface land 32b of the ground through hole 32 is connected to the ground side pad 18b via the ground wiring layer in the ground wiring side pattern 18B. The ground through hole 32 has a rear surface land 32b electrically connected to the nearest ground side pad 18b.

[0075] When the bypass capacitor 50 is mounted on the printed wiring board, the power supply side pad 18a is electrically and mechanically connected to one terminal 50a of the bypass capacitor 50, and the ground side pad 18b is electrically and mechanically connected to the other terminal 50b of the bypass capacitor 50 by soldering.

[0076] In the printed wiring board according to the second embodiment configured as described above, when the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 and the bypass capacitor 50 are mounted on the printed wiring board, a current path for high frequency is formed from the two power supply terminals 40a of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40 through the two power supply pads 11a-the two power supply wires in the power supply wiring pattern 11A-the power supply through hole 31-the power supply wire in the power supply wiring side pattern 18A-the power supply side pad 18a-the bypass capacitor 50-the ground side pad 18b-the ground wire in the ground wiring side pattern 18B-the ground through hole 32-the ground wire in the ground wiring pattern 11B-the ground pad 11b to the ground terminal 40b of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 40.

[0077] As described above, the printed wiring board according to embodiment 2 achieves the same effects as the first and fifth effects described for the printed wiring board according to embodiment 1, and, in addition, since power supply through hole 31 and ground through hole 32 are arranged in close proximity to each other, mutual induction due to high-frequency current acts strongly between power supply through hole 31 and ground through hole 32, resulting in the effect of mutual inductance, and the inductance in current path i2 and current path i3 for high frequencies can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress malfunctions caused by fluctuations in the power supply voltage due to adverse effects of high frequencies such as switching noise.

[0078] The pitch values ​​and pad shapes and dimensions shown in the first and second embodiments are merely examples and are not limited to these.
