On a surface layer of a printed wiring board, main power supply patterns to be applied with different DC voltages are disposed in a second region. Power supply patterns are disposed on the surface layer, and the power supply patterns are led from the main power supply patterns to a first region. The power supply patterns connect power supply terminals of terminal groups in the second region. The power supply patterns connect the power supply terminals between the terminal groups in the first region. Power supply terminals of the terminal groups of a semiconductor package are electrically connected to the main power supply patterns by the power supply patterns. Thus, potential fluctuations are reduced and radiation noise is suppressed, and the number of layers of the printed wiring board is reduced.

Printed circuit board and printed wiring board

In a stacked semiconductor package, since electric power is supplied to a second semiconductor package through a first semiconductor package, a power supply path becomes complicated and fluctuation of its inductance becomes large, whereby power bounce occurs to reduce signal quality and also prevent high speed signal communication. Therefore, according to the present invention, a first solder ball group for joint to a printed wiring board is attached to a second layer of the first semiconductor package, and a second solder ball group for joint to the first semiconductor package and a solder group for power supply for direct joint to the printed wiring board are provided on the second layer of the second semiconductor package, whereby electric power can be directly supplied from the printed wiring board.

Stacked semiconductor package

For a multi-terminal semiconductor package, such as a BGA or a CSP, that handles high-speed differential signals, a high-speed signal is assigned to the innermost located electrode pad on an interposer substrate, and the electrode pad is connected to the outermost located ball pad on the interposer substrate. With this arrangement, the length of a plating stub can be considerably reduced, and the adverse affect on a signal waveform can be minimized. This arrangement is especially effective for differential signal lines.

This invention effectively prevents potential fluctuation in the power supply terminal of a semiconductor device, that is, noise from flowing out to a main power supply wiring. A multilayer print circuit board includes a first power supply via hole which connects to the power supply terminal of a semiconductor integrated circuit on a first surface layer and extends from the first surface layer to a second surface layer, a ground via hole which connects to a ground conductive layer, extends from the ground conductive layer to the second surface layer, and connects to the first power supply via hole on the second surface layer through a bypass capacitor, a first clearance hole which is formed in a power supply conductive layer, and a second clearance hole which is formed in the ground conductive layer. The first clearance hole is larger than the second clearance hole.

According to the invention, even when high-speed differential signal pins are arranged on the inner side of a BGA, they can be wired on a printed wiring board at a low cost. In a multi-terminal device () having one surface where a large number of connection terminals are arrayed planarly, terminals () that need not be electrically connected individually are arranged between differential signal terminals () of the multi-terminal device and the periphery of the multi-terminal device.

The power circuit is constructed as a power circuit board made of a single-sided board, and the digital circuit is a high density digital circuit board which is smaller than the power circuit board. The digital circuit board is formed into a module by mounting thereon an IC, etc., which operates at the highest internal clock frequency. This reduced digital circuit board is mounted onto the power circuit board with spacing between parts in a layered structure, thereby improving unwanted radiation noise characteristics without increasing costs.

A circuit board having a printed capacitor whose capacitance is easily adjusted includes a plurality of through-holes arranged in arrays and electrically connected to each other via conductive films. Therefore, first and second electrode portions are arranged to oppose each other, and form a printed capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor can be adjusted by the number and diameter of through-holes, and the interval between each two adjacent through-holes. Therefore, even when a large-capacitance capacitor is to be formed, the printed capacitor can be rendered compact.

A hole forming method with a laser beam and a hole forming laser apparatus improves the efficiency of hole formation without deterioration in the quality of the formed hole. In a hole forming method for forming holes in a plurality of articles by irradiation with a condensed laser beam, the laser beam is switched in succession to plural working optical axes, thereby forming holes in succession in the articles positioned respectively on the working optical axes.

A substrate having a small-diameter hole is taken from the air and placed in a boiling vapor and/or boiling liquid in a first treatment tank of a vessel having a boiling heater, whereupon the pressure of the air in the small-diameter hole exceeds atmospheric pressure by an amount equivalent to the partial pressure of the air in the hole. Accordingly, the air cannot remain in the hole but is instead expelled to the outside. As a result, the interior of the microhole is replaced entirely by the boiling vapor and/or boiling liquid. Next, without being brought into contact with the external air, the substrate is contacted with a non-boiling liquid inside a second treatment tank, thereby preventing external gas from flowing back into the small-diameter. The non-boiling liquid and the boiling vapor and/or boiling liquid are soluble in each other. As a result, the two are unified and introduced to the small-diameter hole in the form of a liquid.
