Circuit board and electronic device
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202411334823.8, filed on September 23, 2024, and entitled "Circuit board and electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of circuit boards, and in particular to a circuit board and an electronic device. BACKGROUND
[0003] With the continuous improvement of the signal rate of high-speed systems, the crosstalk between adjacent signals has a greater and greater impact when the signals propagate on the transmission line. Excessive crosstalk noise will lead to signal quality degradation, and even affect the realization of system functions.
[0004] In order to reasonably control the crosstalk noise, the related technology usually uses optimization means to suppress the generation of crosstalk in the node area with large crosstalk, thereby reducing the system crosstalk. For example, through a high signal-to-ground pin map scheme, the crosstalk influence between vias is improved; for another example, the thickness of the green oil layer of the surface microstrip line is adjusted to improve the crosstalk influence of the surface trace. However, the space available for arrangement in the node area with large crosstalk is limited, and the crosstalk suppression optimization means will limit the impedance optimization of the corresponding area, and cannot effectively solve the crosstalk bottleneck of the high-speed system architecture.

According to different functional applications, it can be divided into circuit board types such as packaging substrates, carrier boards and carrier-like boards; according to the dielectric layer material and manufacturing process, it can be divided into circuit board types such as printed circuit boards (PCB), low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) circuit boards, high-temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) and flexible printed circuit boards (FPC).
[0042] Taking a memory signal interconnection system in a computing server as an example, a motherboard is used as a typical carrier board form to realize electrical connection between a processor and a memory bank. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is an interconnection link diagram of a memory system architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. The memory system includes a processor (chip package) 10, a motherboard 20, a connector 30 and a memory bank (Dual-Inline-Memory-Modules, DIMM) 40, the chip 101 of the processor 10 is packaged on the packaging substrate 102, and can be welded with the interface on the motherboard 20 through the ball grid array (Ball Grid Array, BGA) solder ball 103, the chip 101 and the DIMM 40 are interconnected through the wire, via, solder ball and connector structure forms to build a signal transmission path.

[0043] In order to reduce the crosstalk influence between adjacent signals, the related technology usually uses an optimization means to suppress crosstalk in a node area with large crosstalk. For example, a high signal-to-ground pin arrangement is used in chip packaging to improve the crosstalk influence between adjacent signal vias; for another example, the thickness of the green oil layer of the surface layer microstrip line of the board is adjusted to improve the crosstalk influence between adjacent surface layer wires. With the trend of product miniaturization, the arrangement space of the node area with large crosstalk is limited, which leads to a bottleneck in crosstalk suppression of the system architecture and cannot meet the evolution of signal rate.
[0044] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a circuit board, which comprises a signal vertical interconnection structure group and a signal trace group, the signal vertical interconnection structure group comprises two signal vertical interconnection structures, the signal trace group comprises two signal traces, the two signal vertical interconnection structures of the signal vertical interconnection structure group are respectively electrically connected with the two signal traces of the signal trace group, and a first signal path and a second signal path capable of transmitting signals in the same direction are constructed.
[0045] In order to better understand the technical solutions and technical effects of the present application, without losing generality, specific embodiments will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, wherein FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a circuit board provided by the embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a construction principle of a crosstalk suppression structure provided by the embodiment of the present application.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 2, the circuit board 1 comprises a signal via group 2 and a signal trace group 3, the signal via group 2 comprises a first signal via 21 and a second signal via 22, and the signal trace group 3 comprises a first signal trace 31 and a second signal trace 32. In order to clearly show the adaptation principle of the crosstalk suppression structure, only a part of the signal path connected with a group of signal vias is shown in FIG. 2.
[0047] In the first direction X, the first signal via 21 and the second signal via 22 are arranged at intervals. One end of the first signal trace 31 is electrically connected with the first signal via 21, and a first signal path is constructed; the second signal trace 32 is electrically connected with the second signal via 22, and a second signal path is constructed. In combination with FIG. 3, the first signal path P1 and the second signal path P2 can transmit signals in the same direction. Here, the "signals transmitted in the same direction" means that the signals are transmitted in the same direction on the two signal paths, for example, data signals are transmitted from the processor chip side to the memory stick side. Exemplarily, in the node region S adjacent to the first signal path P1 and the second signal path P2, crosstalk is generated between the signals transmitted in the same direction based on mutual inductance.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 2, the first signal trace 31 includes a first connecting trace segment 311 and a first leading trace segment 312 connected together, the first connecting trace segment 311 is electrically connected with the first signal via 21, and the second signal trace 32 includes a second connecting trace segment 321 and a second leading trace segment 322 connected together, the second connecting trace segment 321 is electrically connected with the second signal via 22; that is, the first signal trace 31 is electrically connected with the first signal via 21 through the first connecting trace segment 311, and the second signal trace 32 is electrically connected with the second signal via 22 through the second connecting trace segment 321, so as to lead out the signals from the corresponding signal vias and distribute to other parts (not shown in the figure) of the circuit board 1.
[0049] In the first direction X, the first connecting trace segment 311 and the second connecting trace segment 321 are located between the first signal via 21 and the second signal via 22, and the first connecting trace segment 311 is arranged to extend from the first signal via 21 towards the second signal via 22, and the second connecting trace segment 321 is arranged to extend from the second signal via 22 towards the first signal via 21. That is, the first connecting trace segment 311 and the second connecting trace segment 321 extend from the signal vias connected together in opposite directions, and are arranged adjacent to each other in the second direction Y. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, the signals on the first connecting trace segment 311 and the second connecting trace segment 321 are transmitted in opposite directions, thereby forming a reverse mutual inductance.
[0050] In the first direction X, the first connecting trace segment 311 and the second connecting trace segment 321 are located between the first signal via 21 and the second signal via 22, and the first connecting trace segment 311 is arranged to extend from the first signal via 21 towards the second signal via 22, and the second connecting trace segment 321 is arranged to extend from the second signal via 22 towards the first signal via 21. That is, the first connecting trace segment 311 and the second connecting trace segment 321 extend from the signal vias connected together in opposite directions, and are arranged adjacent to each other in the second direction Y. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, the signals on the first connecting trace segment 311 and the second connecting trace segment 321 are transmitted in opposite directions, thereby forming a reverse mutual inductance.
[0051] In the second direction Y, the first leading trace segment 312 is arranged to extend towards one side of the circuit board, and the second leading trace segment 322 is arranged to extend towards the other side of the circuit board, without affecting the connection wiring of the first signal via 21 and the second signal via 22 on the basis of constructing a reliable passive crosstalk suppression structure.
[0052] In a specific implementation, the signal via group 2 can be a buried via, a blind via or a through via. For the signal via group 2 in the form of a buried via, the signal trace group 3 can be an inner layer signal trace of the circuit board 1; for the signal via group 2 in the form of a blind via or a through via, the signal trace group 3 can be an inner layer signal trace of the circuit board 1 or a surface layer signal trace of the circuit board 1. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0053] In the present embodiment, the signal trace connected with the signal via is in a bent shape to construct the passive crosstalk suppression structure. As a preferred, the crosstalk suppression structure on the circuit board trace structure in the link can be arranged in a relatively spacious area to avoid affecting the overall layout of the circuit board due to the introduction of the crosstalk suppression structure. In a specific implementation, the inductance value of the crosstalk suppression structure can be adjusted by adjusting the length or cross-sectional dimension (trace width) of the first conductor part and the second conductor part, or the spacing between the first conductor part and the second conductor part, to match the inductance value of other nodes in the link, thereby effectively reducing the overall crosstalk of the link.
[0054] To further optimize the reverse mutual inductance suppression effect, in addition to adjusting the self structure and relative position relationship of the first conductor part and the second conductor part, for the corresponding trace segments (the first connection trace segment 311 and the second connection trace segment 321) of the signal trace group constructing the crosstalk suppression structure, a slot can be opened in the adjacent dielectric layer between the crosstalk suppression structure and the reference layer, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a partial schematic view of the position relationship between the crosstalk suppression structure and the dielectric layer slot according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 4, for the first connection trace segment 311 and the second connection trace segment 321 constructed as the passive crosstalk suppression structure, a slot 111 is opened in the adjacent dielectric layer 11 between the wiring layer where the first connection trace segment 311 and the second connection trace segment 321 are located and the reference layer, and the slot 111 is oppositely arranged in the thickness direction of the circuit board 1. In this way, based on the arrangement of the dielectric layer slot 111, the mutual inductance value formed by the crosstalk suppression structure is adjusted according to the overall design requirements of the product, the reverse mutual inductance coupling is adjusted, and the crosstalk suppression effect is effectively improved.
[0056] In a specific implementation, the projection of the first connection trace segment 311 and the second connection trace segment 321 on the board surface of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the projection of the slot 111 on the board surface of the circuit board. The specific implementation can be determined as required, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0057] In other specific implementations, the adjacent dielectric layer 11 (not shown in the figure) between the crosstalk suppression structure and the reference layer can also be thinned to adjust the coupling design according to the overall design requirements of the product, to adjust the inductance value of the introduced inductance item to obtain the corresponding reverse suppression mutual inductance value, and to optimize the suppression effect.
[0058] In addition, in other possible implementations, the dielectric constant of the adjacent dielectric layer between the crosstalk suppression structure and the reference layer can also be adjusted, for example but not limited to, by increasing or reducing the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer adjacent to the crosstalk suppression structure, relative to the dielectric layer material of other regions, to adjust the mutual inductance value and further improve the crosstalk suppression effect.
[0059] For the signal traces, in other specific implementations, other forms of bent traces can also be used to construct the crosstalk suppression structure. Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of another circuit board provided by an embodiment of the present application. In order to clearly show the differences and connections between different embodiments, the same functions and structures are shown in the figure with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 5, the first signal trace 31 and the second signal trace 32 of the circuit board 1 are constructed into passive crosstalk suppression structures in different forms of bent traces. In the first direction X, the first connection trace segment 311 and the second connection trace segment 321 are located between the first signal via 21 and the second signal via 22, and the first connection trace segment 311 and the second connection trace segment 321 are constructed into passive crosstalk suppression structures that can form a reverse mutual inductance. Compared with the scheme described in FIG. 2, the difference of the present embodiment is that the second lead-out trace segment 322 connected with the second connection trace segment 321 is wrapped around the first signal via 21 and arranged to extend towards the same side as the first lead-out trace segment 312 in the second direction Y. In this way, the layout requirements of the board surface in different scenarios can be adapted.

Please refer to FIG. 8, which is a schematic diagram of another circuit board provided by an embodiment of the present application. In order to clearly show the differences and connections between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiments, the same functional configurations and structures are shown in the figure with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1.

The signal pads in the array are arranged at intervals with the ground pads 23, as shown in FIG. 8. In the first direction X, the signal pads in the array are arranged at intervals with the ground pads 23 in sequence, and in the second direction Y, the signal pads of the adjacent two rows of pads are arranged staggeredly to reduce the near-end crosstalk.
[0071] Exemplarily, only one signal pad group 2a is taken as an example in FIG. 8, and the signal trace group 3 electrically connected therewith is shown. The first signal pad 21a and the second signal pad 22a of the signal pad group 2a are located in the adjacent two rows of pads in the second direction Y and are arranged staggeredly in the first direction X. Correspondingly, the first signal trace 31 is electrically connected with the first signal pad 21a, the second signal trace 32 is electrically connected with the second signal pad 22a, and both are led out towards the same side in the second direction Y.

[0073] In the present embodiment, the first leading-out trace segment 312 and the second connecting trace segment 321 are constructed as passive crosstalk suppression structures capable of forming inverse mutual inductance; in other words, the first conductor part is formed by the first leading-out trace segment 312, and the second conductor part is formed by the second connecting trace segment 321. In a specific implementation, the signal pad group 2a of the circuit board 1 can be an interface pad for on-board assembly of a connector. The present embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0075] The signal pads of the circuit board described in the foregoing Figure 8 can also be realized by vias to lead out signals. Please refer to Figure 9, which is a schematic diagram of another circuit board provided by an embodiment of the present application. In order to clearly show the differences and connections between the present embodiment and the embodiment described in Figure 8, the same functional components and structures are shown in the figure with the same reference numerals as in Figure 8.
[0076] As shown in Figure 9, the difference between the present embodiment and the embodiment described in Figure 8 is that the signal trace group 3 is an inner layer signal trace of the circuit board 1, and the first signal pad 21a and the second signal pad 22a of the signal pad group 2a are both electrically connected to the corresponding signal traces through signal vias 24. The ground pad 23 is electrically connected to a reference ground layer (not shown in the figure) through a ground via 25.
[0077] Similarly, the first lead-out trace segment 312 and the second connection trace segment 321 are constructed as passive crosstalk suppression structures that can form a reverse mutual inductance. Other components and connection manners can be the same as those of the embodiment described in Figure 8. Here, no further description is given.

In other words, the first conductor part is formed by the first middle layer wiring segment 12b, and the second conductor part is formed by the second middle layer wiring segment 22b. On the basis of reducing the full-link crosstalk, the layout density of the two sides of the circuit board is not affected.
[0081] Here, in the plate thickness direction, the oppositely arranged first top via segment 11b and second bottom via segment 23b, and the oppositely arranged second top via segment 21b and first bottom via segment 13b, include the case of complete centering of the corresponding via segments, and also include the case of partial centering of the corresponding via segments. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.
[0082] Based on the characteristics of the HDI process, the first signal path P1 and the second signal path P2 exchange the opening positions in the middle layer of the circuit board, and construct a crosstalk suppression structure capable of forming a reverse mutual inductance through the wiring located in the middle layer. In specific implementation, the circuit board can be a first-order, second-order, third-order, fourth-order, fifth-order, etc. HDI, which can be configured according to the overall design requirements of the product, that is, for the first middle layer wiring segment and the second middle layer wiring segment constructed to form the crosstalk suppression structure, they can be arranged in the middle wiring layer between any two adjacent orders. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.
[0083] In order to obtain better crosstalk suppression effect, in specific implementation, crosstalk suppression structures can also be arranged between the wirings and between the vias in the signal transmission link. Please refer to FIG. 11, which is a schematic diagram of another crosstalk suppression structure constructed based on the HDI process according to an embodiment of the present application.

The first connecting trace segment 141b and the second connecting trace segment 241b are constructed as a crosstalk suppression structure capable of forming mutual inductance. In a specific implementation, the first signal trace 14b and the second signal trace 24b as a signal trace group can be constructed as the crosstalk suppression structure described in the foregoing FIG. 2, FIG. 4 to FIG. 7. Details are not described herein again.
[0086] Meanwhile, in the middle trace layer, the first middle layer trace segment 12b and the second middle layer trace segment 22b are constructed as a crosstalk suppression structure capable of forming reverse mutual inductance. Overall, based on the crosstalk suppression structure between the signal trace groups and the crosstalk suppression structure between the vias, the inductance value of the formed reverse mutual inductance is cooperatively adjusted to further improve the crosstalk suppression effect of the whole link. Specifically, the arrangement position of the reverse suppression structure can be flexibly determined according to needs in different crosstalk scenarios. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.
