Description

本発明は半導体パッケージに関し、特にレーダ装置等に用いられる高周波回路パッケージに関する。   The present invention relates to a semiconductor package, and more particularly to a high-frequency circuit package used for a radar device or the like.

従来、平坦なセラミック基板にICチップを実装し、封止対象とする部分を覆う封止部材(ウォール,キャップ等)を、接合部材(AuSn,はんだ等)を用いて取り付け、内部を中空に気密封止してなる半導体パッケージがある。   Conventionally, an IC chip is mounted on a flat ceramic substrate, and a sealing member (wall, cap, etc.) that covers a portion to be sealed is attached using a joining member (AuSn, solder, etc.), and the inside is hollow. There is a semiconductor package that is hermetically sealed.

特開2006−135595号公報JP 2006-135595 A

セラミック基板と封止部材を接合するとき、AuSn,はんだ等の接合部材のぬれ性の観点から接合面に圧力を加える必要がある。そこで、封止部材自体の荷重が小さく、接合面への加重が不足する場合は、おもり等で加重をかけてリフロー炉に入れる。このとき、上記従来技術ではセラミック基板と封止部材との接合面とが双方とも平坦であるため、セラミック基板と封止部材との相対位置が炉内の搬送ベルトの振動等でずれることがある。このようなずれが生じた場合、以下(1)乃至(4)に示す悪影響の少なくともいずれかが生じる可能性がある。以下(1)乃至(4)のいずれかが発生した製品については、通常不良品とされる。従って上記従来技術では製品の歩留まりはセラミック基板と封止部材との相対位置のずれが発生する確率に支配され、歩留まりの向上が難しいという問題がある。
(1)セラミック基板と封止部材との間の接合部材に隙間が生じることがあり、十分な気密性が確保できない場合がある。気密性が確保できないと、パッケージ内部へ水蒸気が進入し、ICチップの配線のマイグレーション等による劣化や、結露によるICチップの性能劣化,Au線の腐食等が生じることになる。
(2)セラミック基板と封止部材とのずれが防止できない場合、ICチップ上にゲル等を封入して封止する必要が生じる。しかしながら、封止するICチップが高周波ICチップの場合、ICチップ上を空間として電波伝搬経路の一部とする場合が多い。このようなゲルは比誘電率が空気に比べて高く、誘電損失が大きいため、ICチップ上にゲル等を充填すると、ICチップ上が空間である場合に比べてICチップ上を伝播する電波の波長が短くなり、ICチップ上の回路のインピーダンス整合がとれなくなる。またゲル中を高周波が伝播するので伝送損失が高くなる。従って高周波特性が劣化する。
(3)高周波ICのパッケージではIC周辺の部材も高周波回路の一部を構成する。特に周波数が高い高周波ICを用いるパッケージでは、セラミック基板と封止部材との間のずれにより、パッケージ内部の空間長が周波数に応じた波長より長くなる場合がある。この場合、電波がパッケージ内部で共振し、高周波ICの性能を低下させる場合がある。
(4)高周波ICでは、パッケージ外部からの信号(ノイズ及び干渉信号)により、性能劣化,誤動作を引き起こす可能性があるため、電磁気的なシールドが必要である。しかし、セラミック基板と封止部材との相対位置がずれると、隙間が生じて電磁気的なシールドの効果が得られない可能性がある。
When bonding the ceramic substrate and the sealing member, it is necessary to apply pressure to the bonding surface from the viewpoint of the wettability of the bonding member such as AuSn or solder. Therefore, when the load of the sealing member itself is small and the load on the joint surface is insufficient, the load is applied with a weight or the like and put into the reflow furnace. At this time, in the above-described prior art, since the joint surfaces of the ceramic substrate and the sealing member are both flat, the relative position of the ceramic substrate and the sealing member may be shifted due to vibration of the conveyance belt in the furnace or the like. . When such a shift occurs, at least one of the adverse effects shown in (1) to (4) below may occur. A product in which any one of (1) to (4) below is generated is usually a defective product. Therefore, in the above-described prior art, the yield of products is governed by the probability that a relative position shift between the ceramic substrate and the sealing member occurs, and there is a problem that it is difficult to improve the yield.
(1) A gap may occur in the bonding member between the ceramic substrate and the sealing member, and sufficient airtightness may not be ensured. If airtightness cannot be ensured, water vapor enters the inside of the package, resulting in degradation due to migration of IC chip wiring, IC chip performance degradation due to condensation, Au wire corrosion, and the like.
(2) When the displacement between the ceramic substrate and the sealing member cannot be prevented, it is necessary to encapsulate the IC chip on the IC chip for sealing. However, when the IC chip to be sealed is a high frequency IC chip, the IC chip is often used as a part of a radio wave propagation path with a space on the IC chip. Since such a gel has a higher relative dielectric constant than air and has a larger dielectric loss, filling the IC chip with gel or the like reduces the amount of radio waves propagating on the IC chip compared to when the IC chip is a space. The wavelength becomes shorter, and impedance matching of the circuit on the IC chip cannot be achieved. Moreover, since high frequency propagates in the gel, transmission loss increases. Accordingly, the high frequency characteristics are deteriorated.
(3) In a high frequency IC package, members around the IC also constitute a part of the high frequency circuit. In particular, in a package using a high-frequency IC having a high frequency, the space length inside the package may be longer than the wavelength corresponding to the frequency due to the deviation between the ceramic substrate and the sealing member. In this case, the radio wave may resonate inside the package, which may reduce the performance of the high frequency IC.
(4) In a high-frequency IC, an electromagnetic shield is necessary because a signal (noise and interference signal) from the outside of the package may cause performance degradation and malfunction. However, if the relative position of the ceramic substrate and the sealing member is deviated, there is a possibility that a gap is generated and the electromagnetic shielding effect cannot be obtained.

以上の課題に鑑み、本発明ではセラミック基板と封止部材との位置関係が、これらの部材の接合工程においてずれないような半導体パッケージの構造を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor package structure in which the positional relationship between a ceramic substrate and a sealing member does not shift in the bonding process of these members.

ICチップを搭載した基板上に、接合部材を介してキャップ,ウォール等の封止部材を取り付け、内部を中空に気密封止してなる半導体パッケージにおいて、基板上の封止部材を取り付ける部位に封止部材の位置合わせのための段差又は突起を設ける。   In a semiconductor package in which a sealing member such as a cap or a wall is attached to a substrate on which an IC chip is mounted via a joining member, and the inside is hermetically sealed in a hollow state, the sealing member on the substrate is sealed at a portion to which the sealing member is attached. A step or protrusion is provided for positioning the stop member.

より好ましくは、ICチップと、前記ICチップを搭載する基板と、前記基板に接合され、前記ICチップの周囲を囲う封止障壁と、前記障壁に取り付けられ、前記基板と前記障壁とにより形成された開口部を塞ぐ封止蓋とを備えた半導体パッケージにおいて、前記基板上の前記封止障壁を取り付ける部位に、前記封止障壁の位置合わせのための段差又は突起を設ける。   More preferably, an IC chip, a substrate on which the IC chip is mounted, a sealing barrier bonded to the substrate and surrounding the IC chip, and attached to the barrier, and formed by the substrate and the barrier. In a semiconductor package including a sealing lid for closing the opening, a step or a protrusion for positioning the sealing barrier is provided on a portion where the sealing barrier is attached on the substrate.

接合工程において、セラミック基板と封止部材との相対位置がずれることを防止できる。これにより、不良品の発生率を低減し、生産上の歩留まりを向上させることができる。   In the joining step, the relative position between the ceramic substrate and the sealing member can be prevented from shifting. Thereby, the incidence rate of defective products can be reduced and the production yield can be improved.

以下、図を用いて本発明の実施例を説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1、図2に本発明の第一の実施例に係る半導体パッケージを示す。図1は、分解斜視図を示し、図2はA−A′断面図を示している。   1 and 2 show a semiconductor package according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′.

本実施例の半導体パッケージは、配線パターン8が形成されたセラミック基板1aと、当該セラミック基板に搭載されるICチップ4と、当該配線パターン及びICチップが設けられた領域を囲うウォール2aと、当該ウォール2aの開口部を塞ぐリッド3とを備える。このウォール2a及びリッド3により、ICチップ4を含めた高周波回路が封止される。セラミック基板1aの内部には内部配線パターンが形成されている。ICチップ4や他の回路構成部品は、当該内部配線パターンを介して接続端子10に電気的に接続される。接続端子10は半導体パッケージを外部の回路と接続するための端子である。本実施例の構造は車載用レーダに用いられる高周波回路パッケージに好適であり、種々のギガヘルツ帯(24GHz,76GHz,80GHzなど)の高周波回路に適用することができる。   The semiconductor package of this example includes a ceramic substrate 1a on which a wiring pattern 8 is formed, an IC chip 4 mounted on the ceramic substrate, a wall 2a surrounding a region where the wiring pattern and the IC chip are provided, And a lid 3 for closing the opening of the wall 2a. The wall 2 a and the lid 3 seal the high frequency circuit including the IC chip 4. An internal wiring pattern is formed inside the ceramic substrate 1a. The IC chip 4 and other circuit components are electrically connected to the connection terminal 10 via the internal wiring pattern. The connection terminal 10 is a terminal for connecting the semiconductor package to an external circuit. The structure of the present embodiment is suitable for a high-frequency circuit package used for an on-vehicle radar, and can be applied to various gigahertz band (24 GHz, 76 GHz, 80 GHz, etc.) high-frequency circuits.

セラミック基板1aのウォール2aが取り付けられる位置にはウォール2aの外形に合わせた段差5を設ける。すなわち、ICチップ4や配線パターン8などが設けられた封止対象領域の周囲に段差5を設ける。従って、段差5の内側に配線パターン8が形成され、ICチップ4の厚みにあわせたキャビティ6が設けられた構造となる。これにより、ウォール2aをセラミック基板1aにはんだ付けする際に、ウォール2aとセラミック基板
1aとの相対的な位置がずれることを防止できる。
A step 5 corresponding to the outer shape of the wall 2a is provided at a position where the wall 2a of the ceramic substrate 1a is attached. That is, the step 5 is provided around the region to be sealed where the IC chip 4 and the wiring pattern 8 are provided. Accordingly, the wiring pattern 8 is formed inside the step 5 and the cavity 6 is provided in accordance with the thickness of the IC chip 4. Thereby, when the wall 2a is soldered to the ceramic substrate 1a, it is possible to prevent the relative position between the wall 2a and the ceramic substrate 1a from shifting.

本実施例では、セラミック基板1aを多層基板とし、封止対象領域の外側の層数を1層分、多くして段差を形成している。当該構成により、接合用のはんだが封止対象領域の外側にはみ出すことを抑止できる。なお、段差の高さは必ずしも1層分である必要はない。しかしながら、1層分若しくは2層,3層分などのように、多層基板の各層の厚さの倍数とすることで、段差の形成がより容易になる。   In this embodiment, the ceramic substrate 1a is a multilayer substrate, and the number of layers outside the region to be sealed is increased by one layer to form a step. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the bonding solder from protruding outside the sealing target region. Note that the height of the step is not necessarily one layer. However, it is easier to form a step by setting the multiple of the thickness of each layer of the multilayer substrate, such as one layer, two layers, or three layers.

以下、図1,図2に示す半導体パッケージの製造工程の例を説明する。   Hereinafter, an example of a manufacturing process of the semiconductor package shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

まず、セラミック基板1aにプリフォームのAuSn材を乗せその上にウォール2aを載せる。このとき、セラミック基板1aに形成された段差5がウォール2aの位置合わせとなる。なお位置合わせに用いるセラミック基板1aの段差5の幅の精度は例えば±50μm程度である。また、ウォール2aの外形精度は、エッチングで成形する場合、例えば±10μm程度である。   First, a preformed AuSn material is placed on the ceramic substrate 1a, and the wall 2a is placed thereon. At this time, the step 5 formed on the ceramic substrate 1a is aligned with the wall 2a. The accuracy of the width of the step 5 of the ceramic substrate 1a used for alignment is, for example, about ± 50 μm. In addition, the external accuracy of the wall 2a is, for example, about ± 10 μm when it is formed by etching.

次に、これをH還元炉で300℃以上の温度でリフローを行い、接合する。この接合では、予めウォール2aもしくはセラミック基板1aの接合面に接合部材をリフロー炉に通して融着し、セラミック基板1aとウォール2aを組み合わせて再度リフロー炉に通して接合する方法がある。あるいは、どちらかの部材に接合材を融着させず、セラミック基板1aとウォール2aの接合面の間に接合部材(AuSnあるいははんだ等)を挟んでリフロー炉に通し、一度に接合する方法もある。 Next, this is reflowed and bonded at a temperature of 300 ° C. or higher in an H 2 reduction furnace. In this joining, there is a method in which a joining member is passed through a reflow furnace in advance on the joining surface of the wall 2a or the ceramic substrate 1a, and the ceramic substrate 1a and the wall 2a are combined and joined again through the reflow furnace. Alternatively, there is a method in which a bonding material (AuSn, solder, or the like) is sandwiched between the bonding surfaces of the ceramic substrate 1a and the wall 2a and passed through a reflow furnace without bonding the bonding material to either member and bonded at once. .

続いて、ICチップ4をダイボンド材でセラミック基板1aへ接合し、ICチップ4とセラミック基板1a間をAuワイヤもしくはAlワイヤでボンディング結線を行う。   Subsequently, the IC chip 4 is bonded to the ceramic substrate 1a with a die bonding material, and bonding connection is performed between the IC chip 4 and the ceramic substrate 1a with an Au wire or an Al wire.

次にICチップ4などの部品を実装する。ICチップ4はダイボンド材でセラミック基板1aへ接合される。ICチップ4は、高周波ICチップであり、裏面の接合面をGNDとしたマイクロストリップ線路で構成されたものである。当該ICチップ4のマイクロストリップ線路をセラミック基板1a上のマイクロストリップ線路と結線するためには、
ICチップ4のGNDである裏面とセラミック基板1aのGNDとを導通させる必要がある。そこでICチップ4の実装には導電性のAgペースト接着剤を用いる。恒温層でAgペーストを硬化させた後、Auワイヤでボンディングしてセラミック基板1aとICチップ4を結線する。
Next, components such as the IC chip 4 are mounted. The IC chip 4 is bonded to the ceramic substrate 1a with a die bond material. The IC chip 4 is a high-frequency IC chip, and is composed of a microstrip line whose back-side joining surface is GND. In order to connect the microstrip line of the IC chip 4 to the microstrip line on the ceramic substrate 1a,
It is necessary to electrically connect the back surface which is the GND of the IC chip 4 and the GND of the ceramic substrate 1a. Therefore, a conductive Ag paste adhesive is used for mounting the IC chip 4. After the Ag paste is cured in the constant temperature layer, the ceramic substrate 1a and the IC chip 4 are connected by bonding with an Au wire.

この後、N (窒素)雰囲気でリッド3をウォール2aの上に載せリッド3とウォール2aの接合面をレーザで溶接し、気密封止する。なお、使用する封止部材のウォール
2aおよびリッド3は金属材料で、導電性を有しており、外部からのICへ影響をおよぼす信号をシールドすることが可能である。
Thereafter, the lid 3 is placed on the wall 2a in an N 2 (nitrogen) atmosphere, and the joint surface between the lid 3 and the wall 2a is welded with a laser to be hermetically sealed. The wall 2a and the lid 3 of the sealing member to be used are metallic materials and have conductivity, and can shield signals that affect the IC from the outside.

本実施例では、封止部材をウォール2aとリッド3の二部材の構成とする。そして、
ICチップ4等を実装する前にセラミック基板1aにウォール2aを接合し、ICチップ4を実装後にウォール2aへリッド3を接合する。ここでウォール2aへのリッド3の接合では、ICチップ4等の温度上昇が少ない、シーム溶接やレーザ溶接のような局部の温度上昇の接合方法を用いる。
In this embodiment, the sealing member has a two-member configuration of the wall 2 a and the lid 3. And
Before mounting the IC chip 4 or the like, the wall 2a is bonded to the ceramic substrate 1a, and after mounting the IC chip 4, the lid 3 is bonded to the wall 2a. Here, in joining of the lid 3 to the wall 2a, a joining method of local temperature rise such as seam welding or laser welding, in which the temperature rise of the IC chip 4 or the like is small, is used.

本実施例のような高周波回路パッケージでは、セラミック基板1aに実装されるICチップ4や他の回路構成部材がリフロー炉での加熱温度に耐えられない場合がある。   In the high-frequency circuit package as in this embodiment, the IC chip 4 and other circuit components mounted on the ceramic substrate 1a may not be able to withstand the heating temperature in the reflow furnace.

ここで、封止部材をウォール2aとリッド3の二部材に分けずに、キャップ状の部材とし、この部材をリフローによってセラミック基板1aに接合部材で接合しようとすると、セラミック基板1aおよびICチップ4を含む半導体パッケージ全体をリフロー炉に通す必要が生じるため、この方法は適用できない。   Here, the sealing member is not divided into the two members of the wall 2a and the lid 3, but is made into a cap-like member, and when this member is joined to the ceramic substrate 1a by reflow, the ceramic substrate 1a and the IC chip 4 are joined. This method cannot be applied because it is necessary to pass the entire semiconductor package including the substrate through a reflow furnace.

また、リフロー時に用いられる水素等のガスがICチップ4に影響をおよぼす場合がある。例えばICチップ4は、動作する周波数が高い場合、GaAsなどの化合物を基板として作られることが多い。このICチップ4のFFT層に水素が付着すると性能が劣化する場合がある。   In addition, a gas such as hydrogen used at the time of reflow may affect the IC chip 4. For example, when the operating frequency is high, the IC chip 4 is often made using a compound such as GaAs as a substrate. When hydrogen adheres to the FFT layer of the IC chip 4, the performance may be deteriorated.

このように、封止部材のずれによる気密封止の低下をなくし、生産上の歩留まり向上を目的とするとともに、特に高周波ICの性能低下を防ぐとともに位置合わせの工数を小さくし、生産性をあげることができる。さらに、封止部材の内側もしくは外側、あるいは全体を導電性の材料とすることで、高周波ICを封止する場合、シールド効果を得ることができる。   In this way, the purpose of eliminating the deterioration of the hermetic sealing due to the displacement of the sealing member and improving the production yield, in particular, preventing the performance deterioration of the high frequency IC and reducing the alignment man-hours and increasing the productivity. be able to. Furthermore, when a high frequency IC is sealed, a shielding effect can be obtained by using a conductive material inside or outside of the sealing member.

図3,図4を用いて、本発明の第2の実施形態について説明する。図3は、分解斜視図を示し、図4はA−A′断面図を示している。   A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′.

本実施例は、ウォール2bのセラミック基板1bと接合する面に突起2b′を設け、セラミック基板1bにはウォール2bに設けた突起2b′に合うように窪み5bを設けた点で、実施例1と異なる。当該構成によれば、実施例1のように封止対象領域の全周囲について段差5を設ける必要が無く、実施例1よりもセラミック基板1bの形状を単純にすることができる。ここでは窪み5bはセラミック基板1bの層構成に合わせて1層分としている。なお、セラミック基板1b及びウォール2bは形状が実施例1と異なっているが、その材質や電気的特性は同様である。従って、特に説明しない構成及び効果については、実施例1と同様である。   In this embodiment, the protrusion 2b 'is provided on the surface of the wall 2b to be joined to the ceramic substrate 1b, and the depression 5b is provided in the ceramic substrate 1b so as to match the protrusion 2b' provided on the wall 2b. And different. According to the said structure, it is not necessary to provide the level | step difference 5 about the perimeter of the sealing object area | region like Example 1, and the shape of the ceramic substrate 1b can be simplified rather than Example 1. FIG. Here, the dent 5b is one layer according to the layer structure of the ceramic substrate 1b. The ceramic substrate 1b and the wall 2b are different in shape from those of the first embodiment, but the materials and electrical characteristics thereof are the same. Therefore, configurations and effects that are not particularly described are the same as those in the first embodiment.

ここで突起2b′及び窪み5bは少なくとも2ヶ所以上設ける。これにより、セラミック基板1bとウォール2bの位置が一意に決まるからである。ウォール2bに向きがある場合は、誤組立防止のため2ヶ所の突起5bの形状を異なるようにすることもできる。例えば、ウォール2bが単純な正方形状である場合にはウォール2bを180度回転させて組み立てても問題は生じない。しかしながら、ウォール2bの機械的形状若しくは物理的な性質が回転対称でない場合は、上述のように複数の突起5bの形状を相互に異ならせることにより、向きを誤って組み立てることを防止できるという利点がある。   Here, at least two protrusions 2b 'and recesses 5b are provided. This is because the positions of the ceramic substrate 1b and the wall 2b are uniquely determined. When the wall 2b is oriented, the shape of the two protrusions 5b can be made different to prevent erroneous assembly. For example, when the wall 2b is a simple square, there is no problem even if the wall 2b is rotated 180 degrees and assembled. However, when the mechanical shape or physical property of the wall 2b is not rotationally symmetric, there is an advantage that it is possible to prevent incorrect assembly by changing the shapes of the plurality of protrusions 5b as described above. is there.

なお、本実施例にかかる半導体回路パッケージの組立手順は、実施例1と基本的に同じである。   The assembly procedure of the semiconductor circuit package according to the present embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment.

図5,図6を用いて、本発明の第3の実施形態について説明する。図5は、分解斜視図を示し、図6はA−A′断面図を示している。   A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 shows an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 6 shows an AA ′ cross-sectional view.

本実施例は、セラミック基板1cのうち、封止対象領域の内側をかさ上げすることによって段差5を形成している。この点で、封止対象領域の外側をかさ上げして段差5を形成する実施例1と異なる。   In this embodiment, the step 5 is formed by raising the inside of the sealing target region of the ceramic substrate 1c. This is different from the first embodiment in which the step 5 is formed by raising the outside of the region to be sealed.

なお、セラミック基板1c及びウォール2cは形状が実施例1と異なっているが、その材質や電気的特性は同様である。従って、特に説明しない構成及び効果については、実施例1と同様である。   The shape of the ceramic substrate 1c and the wall 2c is different from that of the first embodiment, but the material and electrical characteristics are the same. Therefore, configurations and effects that are not particularly described are the same as those in the first embodiment.

図7,図8を用いて、本発明の第4の実施形態について説明する。図7は、分解斜視図を示し、図8はA−A′断面図を示している。   A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 shows an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view along AA ′.

本実施例は、本発明を送信回路と受信回路とを備えたレーダ装置に適用した例であり、送信及び受信の各機能を実現する高周波ICチップを複数個実装したパッケージに適用した実施形態である。ここでは、高周波ICチップを複数個実装するパッケージとしてレーダ用のICチップ構成を例に説明する。セラミック基板1dには高周波ICチップが実装される。本実施例では、セラミック基板1dに実装される高周波ICチップとして、発振器MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit)4a,ミキサMMIC4b、及び電力増幅器MMIC4cを想定する。   The present embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a radar apparatus having a transmission circuit and a reception circuit, and is an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a package in which a plurality of high-frequency IC chips that realize each function of transmission and reception are mounted. is there. Here, a radar IC chip configuration will be described as an example of a package for mounting a plurality of high-frequency IC chips. A high frequency IC chip is mounted on the ceramic substrate 1d. In the present embodiment, an oscillator MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) 4a, a mixer MMIC 4b, and a power amplifier MMIC 4c are assumed as high-frequency IC chips mounted on the ceramic substrate 1d.

発振器MMIC4aの発振信号は、二分岐してミキサMMIC4bと電力増幅器MMIC4cにそれぞれ入力される。電力増幅器MMIC4cは入力された信号を増幅し、伝送線路
8bへ信号を送る。伝送線路8bの裏面は送信用のアンテナと接続されており、電力増幅器MMIC4cで増幅された送信信号は送信用のアンテナから送信される。送信用のアンテナから送信された信号はレーダの被検知物で反射される。
The oscillation signal of the oscillator MMIC 4a is branched into two and input to the mixer MMIC 4b and the power amplifier MMIC 4c. The power amplifier MMIC 4c amplifies the input signal and sends the signal to the transmission line 8b. The back surface of the transmission line 8b is connected to a transmission antenna, and the transmission signal amplified by the power amplifier MMIC 4c is transmitted from the transmission antenna. The signal transmitted from the transmitting antenna is reflected by the radar object.

一方、伝送線路8aの裏面は受信用のアンテナと接続されている。被検知物で反射された反射信号は受信用のアンテナにより受信される。ミキサMMIC4bは、伝送線路8aを介して入力されるレーダの被検知物で反射される反射信号と発振器MMIC4aからの発振信号を混合し、IF信号(中間周波数信号)を生成する。IF信号を処理することで、被検知物までの距離等が計測される。   On the other hand, the back surface of the transmission line 8a is connected to a receiving antenna. The reflected signal reflected by the object to be detected is received by the receiving antenna. The mixer MMIC 4b mixes the reflected signal reflected by the radar detection object input via the transmission line 8a and the oscillation signal from the oscillator MMIC 4a to generate an IF signal (intermediate frequency signal). By processing the IF signal, the distance to the object to be detected is measured.

ウォール2dは、MMIC4a〜4cを二つの空間に分離する仕切りを備える。二つの空間のうち一方には、発振器MMIC4aと電力増幅MMIC4cとが収容される。他方の空間にはミキサMMIC4bが収容される。仕切り7aには窓7bが二空間を繋ぐ伝送線路上に設けられる。窓7bの幅は発振器MMIC4aが発振する周波数の電波が伝送線路以外を通過できないように、遮断周波数が発振器MMIC4aで発振する周波数以上となるような幅としている。このとき、ウォール2dの位置ずれがあると、窓7bとその下の伝送路の相対位置が変わり、伝送路の特性インピーダンスが変化する。伝送線路の特性インピーダンスが変化すると、伝送線路の特性インピーダンスが変化した部分で伝送する信号の一部が反射するため、伝送特性が劣化し、レーダ性能が低下する。そのため、セラミック基板1に窪みを設け、ウォール2dの位置合わせを行い、ずれを防止する。   The wall 2d includes a partition that separates the MMICs 4a to 4c into two spaces. An oscillator MMIC 4a and a power amplification MMIC 4c are accommodated in one of the two spaces. The mixer MMIC 4b is accommodated in the other space. The partition 7a is provided with a window 7b on the transmission line connecting the two spaces. The width of the window 7b is set such that the cut-off frequency is equal to or higher than the frequency oscillated by the oscillator MMIC 4a so that the radio wave having the frequency oscillated by the oscillator MMIC 4a cannot pass through other than the transmission line. At this time, if the wall 2d is misaligned, the relative position of the window 7b and the transmission line below it changes, and the characteristic impedance of the transmission line changes. When the characteristic impedance of the transmission line changes, a part of the signal to be transmitted is reflected at the portion where the characteristic impedance of the transmission line changes, so that the transmission characteristic deteriorates and the radar performance deteriorates. Therefore, a recess is provided in the ceramic substrate 1 to align the wall 2d to prevent deviation.

なお、実施例1乃至3では、一般的な高周波回路パッケージとして本発明の実施形態を説明したが、実施例1乃至3で説明したセラミック基板(1a,1b,1c)及びウォール(2a,2b,2c)の形状を実施例4のような送信回路と受信回路を備えたレーダ装置に適用してもよい。その場合、実施例1乃至3における複数のICパッケージとして、発振器MMIC4a,ミキサMMIC4b、及び電力増幅器MMIC4cを採用し、封止領域内の配線パターン8を伝送線路8a,8bとして用いる。   In Examples 1 to 3, the embodiment of the present invention has been described as a general high-frequency circuit package. However, the ceramic substrates (1a, 1b, 1c) and walls (2a, 2b, The shape of 2c) may be applied to a radar apparatus including a transmission circuit and a reception circuit as in the fourth embodiment. In that case, the oscillator MMIC 4a, the mixer MMIC 4b, and the power amplifier MMIC 4c are employed as the plurality of IC packages in the first to third embodiments, and the wiring pattern 8 in the sealing region is used as the transmission lines 8a and 8b.
