An electromagnetic bandgap structure, including: a first metal layer; a first dielectric layer, stacked in the first metal layer; a metal plate, stacked in the first dielectric layer; a via, having one end part which is connected to the first metal layer; a second dielectric layer, stacked in the metal plate and the first dielectric layer; and a second metal layer, stacked in the second dielectric layer, whereas the other end part of the via is connected to a via land which is placed in a hole formed in the metal plate, and the via land is connected to the metal plate through a metal line.

Electromagnetic bandgap structure and printed circuit board

Disclosed are an electromagnetic bandgap structure and a printed circuit board that can solve a mixed signal problem between an analog circuit and a digital circuit. The electromagnetic bandgap structure in which a first metal layer, a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer and a second metal layer are stacked can include a first metal plate, formed between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer; a second metal plate, formed on a same planar surface as the first metal plate, accommodated into a hole which is formed in the first metal plate and electrically connected to the first metal plate through a metal line; and a via, connecting the second metal plate to any one of the first metal layer and the second metal layer. With the present invention, the electromagnetic bandgap structure can be not only miniaturized but also have a low bandgap frequency.

An electromagnetic bandgap structure and a printed circuit board that can solve a mixed signal problem between an analog circuit and a digital circuit are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnetic bandgap structure can include a first metal layer; a first dielectric layer, stacked in the first metal layer; a metal plate, stacked in the first dielectric layer; a via, connecting the first metal layer to the metal plate; a second dielectric layer, stacked in the metal plate and the first dielectric layer; and a second metal layer, stacked in the second dielectric layer. Here, a hole can be formed on the metal plate. With the present invention, the electromagnetic bandgap structure can lower a noise level more within the same frequency band as compared with other structures having the same size.
