In an electronic device where a plurality of semiconductor chips are mounted on a wiring board, the semiconductor chips and wirings electrically connecting to the semiconductor chips generate noise. As the noise affects the other semiconductor chips, these semiconductor chips may malfunction. In order to prevent such malfunction from arising, technologies for suppressing the noise have been developed.

The integrated circuit 51 is electrically connected to the integrated circuit 52 through the fourth wiring 55.
The wiring board la includes the structure of the wiring board 1 between the integrated circuit 53 and the integrated circuit 54. That is to say, between the integrated circuit 53 and the integrated circuit 54, the wiring board la includes the first wiring 11, the second wiring 12, the first via 21, the second via 22, the third wirings 31a and 31b, and the non-wiring portion 32. The third wirings 31a and 31b are separated from each other by the non-wiring portion 32. Even in the area of the wiring board la which is larger than the wiring board 1, the third wiring 31a is separated from the third wiring 31b. The integrated circuit 53 is electrically connected to one end of the first wiring 11, and the integrated circuit 54 is electrically connected to the other end of the first wiring 11. The integrated circuit 53 is electrically connected to the integrated circuit 54 through the first wiring 11. The integrated circuit 51, the integrated circuit 52, and the fourth wiring 55 are disposed close to the wiring board 1.
(An Operation of the Wiring Board Mounting Integrated-Circuits 50)
The integrated circuit 51 sends a clock signal having a frequency component of 2.1 GHz to the integrated circuit 52 through the fourth wiring 55. The integrated circuit 53 sends a digital signal of 500 Mbps (mega bit per second) to the integrated circuit 54 through the first wiring 11.

(Simulation Results of the Wiring Board Mounting Integrated-Circuits 50)
The graph shows the insertion loss S21 among the S parameters of the first wiring 11, where the horizontal axis represents the frequency, and the vertical axis represents the loss. The insertion loss S21 represents the ratio of a signal reaching the integrated circuit 54 to a signal output from the integrated circuit 53. The insertion loss S21 becomes smaller significantly at the resonant frequencies of 2.1 GHz and 6.3 GHz which is three times the frequency of 2.1 GHz, but it is nearly equal to 0 dB at other frequencies.
The results indicate that the structure of the wiring board 1 functions as a band rejection filter by which the signal propagation is inhibited due to the strong attenuation of a signal with a specific frequency and signals with the other frequencies are transmitted.
(The Effect of the Wiring Board Mounting Integrated-Circuits 50)
Accordingly, the 500 Mbps signal output from the integrated circuit 53 reaches the integrated circuit 54 without a loss, and the noise 56 with 2.1 GHz arriving from the integrated circuit 51 is removed. That is to say, it is possible for the integrated circuit 53 to transmit a signal to the integrated circuit 54 successfully.

An input admittance Y′in is defined as an admittance viewed from the right-hand signal terminal and the reference terminal in the transmission circuit model 12a of the second wiring (see (3)-(3)′ in
The input admittance Y′in becomes zero at a frequency when d becomes equal to λ/4 (d=λ/4) because a tangent of βd becomes infinite (tan(βd)=∞). That is to say, the input impedance corresponding to the input admittance Y′in becomes infinite.
The input admittance Yin is expressed by the following formula 5 with L representing an inductance value of the inductor 71a.
When the input admittance Yin is equal to zero, a signal propagating through the transmission circuit models 11a, 11b, and 11c of the first wiring is attenuated.
A description will be given of the relationship between the input admittance Yin and the inductance 71a due to an electric current bypassing the periphery of the non-wiring portion 32a referring to
The structure of the first exemplary embodiment does not include a bypassing current path, and accordingly it corresponds to the condition of L=∞. The input admittance Yin in that case is represented by data expressed in a solid line on the extreme left among graphs in
In the present exemplary embodiment, L has a finite value because of there being a bypassing current path, and the input admittance Yin moves to the bottom right of the graph as the value of L decreases. In
Here, the data for L=∞, L1, and L2 are repeated with a period of c/(2dε0.5). In the graphs of
Signal propagation is suppressed when the input admittance Yin becomes equal to zero. That is to say, a frequency at which signal propagation is suppressed moves to the higher frequency region as L decreases. L becomes smaller if the circumference of the non-wiring portion 32a becomes shorter. When L approaches zero sufficiently, a frequency at which the input admittance Yin is equal to zero becomes equal to c/(2dεr0.5), and the frequency does not move to any higher frequency than the value.

As shown in
(The Function of the Wiring Board 140)
The function of the wiring board 140 will be described referring to
As is the case with the first exemplary embodiment, in
If the length of the second wiring 12e is sufficiently smaller than that of 12f, so that it can be neglected, and additionally the transmission loss of the second wirings 12e and 12f can be neglected, the input impedance Zin is expressed by the following formula 6. Here, Zg represents the characteristic impedance of the transmission circuit model 12a of the second wiring, d represents the length of the second wiring 12f, L represents the inductance value of the second inductor chip 13, and f represents a signal frequency.
The input impedance Zin expressed by formula 6 becomes infinite theoretically when the denominator becomes zero, that is, tan(βd) takes a value expressed by the following formula 7. At the frequency f with the denominator becoming zero, the second wirings 12e and 12f and the second inductor chip 13 function as a resonator to remove a noise, and the signal propagation is inhibited by preventing a return current on the first wiring 11 from propagating.
Here, tan(βd) monotonically increases with βd. Therefore, if the frequency f and the characteristic impedance Zg are constant, d decreases as L increases in formula 7. That is to say, if L is increased, it is possible to shorten the length of the second wiring 12f which is represented by d. In this way, by terminating the second wirings 12e and 12f by the second inductor chip 13, it is possible to miniaturize the wiring board 140.

Since the wiring board 140 to remove noise is composed of a two-layered wiring layer including the first wiring layer 10 and the second wiring layer 30, it is possible to make it thinner.
Additionally, since the second wiring 12f is terminated by the second inductor chip 13, it is possible to miniaturize the wiring board 140.

As shown in
(The Function of the Wiring Board 150)
The function of the wiring board 150 will be described referring to
Here, with regard to the second wiring 12g, it is important that the left-end signal terminal and the reference terminal of the transmission circuit model 12i are terminated with short circuit conditions, and that the width is smaller than that of the second wiring 12h and the characteristic impedance is higher. That is to say, the characteristic impedance Z1 is larger than the characteristic impedance Z2.
If the input impedance Zin is defined as a value viewed from the right-end signal terminal and the reference terminal of the transmission circuit model 12j toward the transmission circuit models 12i and 12j of the second wiring, Zin is expressed by the following formula 8.
When the denominator is equal to zero, that is, the following equation in formula 9 is true, the input impedance Zin becomes infinite.
At the frequency with the denominator becoming zero, the second wirings 12g and 12h function as a resonator to remove a noise, and the signal propagation is inhibited by preventing a return current on the first wiring 11 from propagating.
Here, as is the case with formula 7 in the eighth exemplary embodiment, if the characteristic impedance Zi is increased, it is possible to shorten the lengths of d1, d2 or d1 and d2 in the second wirings 12g and 12h.
In this way, by narrowing the width on the side of the characteristic impedance Z1 varying the widths of the second wirings 12g and 12h, the length of the second wirings 12g and 12h becomes shorter for the same resonant frequency, and accordingly it is possible to miniaturize the wiring board 150.
The side on which to be terminated with short circuit conditions in the equivalent circuit is a side corresponding to a distant one of the distance from the non-wiring portion 32 to the first via 21 and the distance from the non-wiring portion 32 to the second via 22 on the second wiring layer 30.
In
(The Effect of the Wiring Board 150)
Since the wiring board 150 to remove noise is composed of a two-layered wiring layer including the first wiring layer 10 and the second wiring layer 30, it is possible to make it thinner.
By varying the widths of the second wirings 12g and 12h, the length of the second wirings 12g and 12h becomes shorter for the same resonant frequency, and accordingly it is possible to miniaturize the wiring board 150.
(A Structure of a Wiring Board)
The tenth exemplary embodiment will be described referring to
In the present exemplary embodiment, the structure of the third exemplary embodiment is incorporated into the ninth exemplary embodiment. Second wirings 12k, 12l, and 12m are approximately-rectangular. The width of the second wiring 12k is narrower than that of the second wiring 121 and is equal to that of the second wiring 12m.
As is the case with the third exemplary embodiment, the first via 21 and the second via 22 are arranged away from the non-wiring portion 32 to the extent that noise is attenuated at the two frequencies mentioned above in the third exemplary embodiment. The second wiring 12k is electrically connected to the second via 22, and the second wiring 12m to the first via 21. In the structure, a resonator is formed on each side of the non-wiring portion 32, and it is possible to attenuate the noise at arbitrary two different frequencies.
Here, as is the case with the ninth exemplary embodiment, because the second wirings 12k and 12m are smaller in width than the second wiring 121, its length becomes shorter. As a result, it is possible to miniaturize the wiring board 160.
(The Effect of the Wiring Board 160)
Since the wiring board 160 to remove noise is composed of a two-layered wiring layer including the first wiring layer 10 and the second wiring layer 30, it is possible to make it thinner. Additionally, by varying the widths of the second wirings 12k, 12l, and 12m, the length of the second wirings 12k and 12m becomes shorter for the same resonant frequency, and accordingly it is possible to miniaturize the wiring board 160.
In addition, it is possible to attenuate the noise at arbitrary two different frequencies according to the wiring board 160.
