Abstract

Abstract A thick film multilayer substrate using a green ceramic sheet is constructed such that at least three conductor layers and at least two dielectric layers are alternately arranged in turn on the green ceramic sheet substrate, a power supply line being formed in the second conductor layer and thus interposed between the first and third conductor layers in which grounded conductors are formed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 318 words
In a thick film multilayer wiring substrate comprising: (1) a ceramic substrate having first and second surfaces opposite to one another; (2) at least first and second layers of dielectrics formed on the first surface of said ceramic substrate, with said first layer being stacked on said substrate and said second layer being stacked on said first layer; (3) a first conductor layer including at least a power supply line pattern, formed between the first and second layers of dielectrics; (4) second and third conductor layers each including at least a grounded conductor pattern, said second conductor layer being formed on a surface adjacent to said ceramic substrate of the first dielectric layer and said third conductor layer being formed on a surface farthest from said ceramic substrate of the second dielectric layer; and (5) a grounded conductor connection path formed to pass though the first and second layers of dielectrics to connect the grounded conductor patterns of said second and third conductor layers to each other, wherein the improvements comprise: the grounded conductor patterns of said second and third conductor layers being formed to extend to oppose each other via the two layers of dielectrics so that said power supply line pattern is located between the two layers of dielectrics where the grounded conductor patterns extend, whereby capacitance is established between the power supply line pattern and the grounded conductor patterns to reduce a characteristic impedance of the power supply line pattern, and said thick film multilayer wiring substrate further comprising a fourth conductor layer including a plurality of connection wiring patterns, formed on the second surface of said ceramic substrate; at least one resistor layer being formed between said plurality of connection wiring patterns; and at least one conductor connection path passing through said ceramic substrate to connect said plurality of connection wiring patterns to at least one of said first, second and third conductor layers.
