Abstract:

A packaged chip is provided which includes a package element on which a signal-bearing conductive trace has an edge laterally adjacent to an edge of a reference conductive trace (e. g. , ground trace) on the same face of a dielectric element, the two traces together functioning as a capacitor. In a particular embodiment, the laterally adjacent traces provide shunt capacitance to compensate for an inductance in a signal path to the chip which includes the signal-bearing conductive trace. In a variation thereof, a transmission line or waveguide is provided which includes the signal-bearing conductive trace and reference trace. In further variations, transmission lines are provided which include one or more metal layers of a package element, separated from each other by a thickness of a dielectric element included in the package element or the air gap between the package and a circuit panel.

US Classification:

333238, 333128, 333161, 333204

Abstract:

A transmission structure having high propagation velocity and a low effective dielectric loss. The structure comprises a dielectric, a first reference conductor disposed below the dielectric, a signal conductor disposed above the dielectric, and a second reference conductor disposed over the signal conductor. The second reference conductor has a recess portion facing the signal conductor, the recess portion defining a gap between the second reference conductor and the signal conductor. The gap may be filled with air which has a relative dielectric constant approximately equal to one (1). Because of the physical and dielectric constant characteristics of the gap, the structure concentrates an electric field in the gap resulting in an effective dielectric constant approximately (approaching) one (1) and an effective dielectric loss approximately equal to zero (0). Thus, the structure exhibits a propagation velocity approximately equal to the speed of light.
