Description

本発明は、ミリ波等の高周波帯で多く用いられる方形導波管型高周波線路と高周波回路との接続構造に関するものであり、特にボンディングワイヤ等の導線を用いた接続構造に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a connection structure between a rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line frequently used in a high-frequency band such as millimeter waves and a high-frequency circuit, and more particularly to a connection structure using a conducting wire such as a bonding wire.

一般に、MMIC等の半導体素子を回路基板に実装する場合、ボンディングワイヤ等の導線を用いて半導体素子と回路基板上の信号線路とを接続する。回路基板上の信号線路としてはマイクロストリップ線路が多く用いられている。   In general, when a semiconductor element such as an MMIC is mounted on a circuit board, the semiconductor element and a signal line on the circuit board are connected using a conductive wire such as a bonding wire. A microstrip line is often used as a signal line on a circuit board.

半導体素子と回路基板上の信号線路とを導線を用いて接続すると、導線の長さにより主としてインダクタンス成分が生じる。このインダクタンス成分は高周波領域では無視できなくなり、インピーダンスの不一致による信号の反射が生じる。また、導線が半導体素子上の接地導体から離れることによる放射も生じる。これらにより伝送特性が劣化する。   When a semiconductor element and a signal line on a circuit board are connected using a conducting wire, an inductance component mainly occurs due to the length of the conducting wire. This inductance component cannot be ignored in the high frequency region, and signal reflection occurs due to impedance mismatch. Radiation also occurs due to the lead wires leaving the ground conductor on the semiconductor element. These deteriorate the transmission characteristics.

このため、導線の長さを極力短くすることが必要とされる。そこで、回路基板にキャビティを形成し、半導体素子の接続端子面と回路基板の上面とを一致させて、導線の長さができるだけ短くなるように半導体素子を配置する手法が提案されている。   For this reason, it is necessary to shorten the length of the conducting wire as much as possible. In view of this, a method has been proposed in which a cavity is formed in a circuit board, the connection terminal surface of the semiconductor element is aligned with the upper surface of the circuit board, and the semiconductor element is arranged so that the length of the conducting wire is as short as possible.

また、発生したインダクタンス成分を打ち消すためにキャパシタンス成分を導入する方法もある。例えば、回路基板上に実装した単板コンデンサ等に導線を接続することや、導線を接続した回路基板のストリップ線路にスタブを形成することにより、キャパシタンス成分を導入してインピーダンスのマッチングを図る手法が提案されている。多くの場合は、この2つの手法が併用されている(例えば、特許文献1を参照。)。   There is also a method of introducing a capacitance component in order to cancel the generated inductance component. For example, there is a technique for matching impedance by introducing a capacitance component by connecting a lead wire to a single-plate capacitor mounted on a circuit board or by forming a stub on a strip line of a circuit board to which the lead wire is connected. Proposed. In many cases, these two methods are used together (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、上記従来技術には次のような問題点があった。   However, the above prior art has the following problems.

まず、回路基板上にキャビティを形成する手法においては、キャビティによって回路基板の強度が低下するという問題や、キャビティの形成のために工程が複雑化してコストアップになるという問題があった。   First, in the method of forming a cavity on a circuit board, there are problems that the strength of the circuit board is reduced by the cavity, and that the process is complicated due to the formation of the cavity and the cost is increased.

また、単板コンデンサを実装する手法においては、コストアップになるとともに、半導体素子の実装ずれに伴う導線の長さの変動によるインダクタンスの変動を補正することができないという問題があった。   In addition, the method of mounting a single plate capacitor has a problem that the cost increases and the variation in inductance due to the variation in the length of the conductor due to the mounting deviation of the semiconductor element cannot be corrected.

さらに、ストリップ線路にスタブを形成する手法においては、インピーダンスマッチングのためにスタブの形状や位置に高い寸法精度が要求され、この要求を満たすために薄膜基板を用いるとコストアップとなるという問題があった。   Furthermore, in the method of forming a stub on a strip line, high dimensional accuracy is required for the shape and position of the stub for impedance matching, and there is a problem that the cost increases when a thin film substrate is used to satisfy this requirement. It was.

本発明はこのような従来の技術における問題点に鑑みて案出されたものであり、その目的は、半導体素子等の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路とを接続する単純で安価な構造を提供することにある。   The present invention has been devised in view of such problems in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a simple and inexpensive structure for connecting a high-frequency circuit such as a semiconductor element and a rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line.

And two rows of through-wall side walls arranged to electrically connect the upper conductor layer and the lower conductor layer at a repetition interval less than ½ of the wavelength of the high-frequency signal in the propagation direction of the high-frequency signal A rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line that is configured by a conductor group, and that transmits the high-frequency signal by a region surrounded by the upper conductor layer, the lower conductor layer, and the two rows of through conductor groups for side walls; A dielectric substrate and the lower conductor layer are extended from one end of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line in the propagation direction of the high-frequency signal, and the upper conductor layer and the gap are formed on the upper surface of the extension. The extension is arranged A terminating conductor connected to the lower conductor layer of the extension through a terminating through conductor penetrating the dielectric substrate, and disposed on the opposite side of the upper conductor layer with the gap in between A high-frequency circuit having a high-frequency signal terminal for at least one of the input and output of the high-frequency signal, and a ground terminal disposed adjacent to the high-frequency signal terminal, and one end connected to the high-frequency signal terminal A first conductive wire disposed from the high-frequency signal terminal toward the gap; and a second conductive wire having one end connected to the ground terminal and disposed from the ground terminal toward the gap. The first conductive wire is arranged such that a segment connecting the other end of the first conductive wire and the other end of the second conductive wire crosses the gap when viewed from the thickness direction of the dielectric substrate. Across the gap With square end is connected to said upper conductor layer, said second conductor is characterized in that the other end is connected to the terminating conductors without crossing over the gap.

また、本発明の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造は、上記構成において、前記接地端子が間隔をあけて2つ配置されているとともに該2つの接地端子の間に前記高周波信号端子が配置されており、一方端が前記2つの接地端子にそれぞれ接続された2本の前記第2の導線が、それぞれ前記第1の導線の両側で前記2つの接地端子から前記間隙に向かうように配置されていることを特徴とするものである。   Further, the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit of the present invention and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line is the above-described configuration, wherein the two ground terminals are arranged with a space therebetween, and the high-frequency circuit is interposed between the two ground terminals. Signal terminals are arranged, and the two second conductors having one end respectively connected to the two ground terminals are respectively directed to the gap from the two ground terminals on both sides of the first conductor. It is characterized by being arranged like this.

なお、本明細書において、導線とは線状もしくは帯状の導体のことであり、例えばリボンワイヤーのようなものも含むものである。また、導線が間隙上を横断するとは、導線が誘電体基板の厚み方向(Z方向)に間隙と間を開けて配置されているとともに、誘電体基板の厚み方向(Z方向)から見たときに、導線が間隙と交わることを意味する。また、高周波信号の伝播方向とは、高周波信号が伝播して行く向きおよびその逆向きの両方が含まれる方向であり、2列の側壁用貫通導体群が延びる方向にほぼ一致する方向である。   In addition, in this specification, a conducting wire is a linear or strip-shaped conductor, and includes, for example, a ribbon wire. Also, when the conductor crosses over the gap, the conductor is disposed with a gap in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the dielectric substrate and when viewed from the thickness direction (Z direction) of the dielectric substrate. In addition, it means that the conductor crosses the gap. The propagation direction of the high-frequency signal is a direction that includes both the direction in which the high-frequency signal propagates and the opposite direction, and is a direction that substantially coincides with the direction in which the two through-wall through conductor groups extend.

上述した構成を備える本発明の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造によれば、一方端が高周波信号端子に接続されて高周波信号端子から間隙へ向かうように配置された第1の導線と、一方端が接地端子に接続されて接地端子から間隙へ向かうように配置された第2の導線とを備え、誘電体基板の厚み方向から見たときに、第1の導線の他方端と第2の導線の他方端とを結ぶ線分が間隙を横断するように、第1の導線は間隙上を横断して他方端が上側導体層に接続されているとともに、第2の導線は間隙上を横断することなく他方端が終端用導体に接続されていることから、高周波信号端子から接地端子に向かう電界が、第1および第2の導線上を通過する間に、間隙を介して方形導波管型高周波線路と結合しやすい方向へ徐々に変換されるため、高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路とを良好に接続することができる。   According to the connection structure of the high-frequency circuit of the present invention having the above-described configuration and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line, the first end is connected to the high-frequency signal terminal and arranged so as to go from the high-frequency signal terminal to the gap. And a second conductive wire having one end connected to the ground terminal and disposed so as to face the gap from the ground terminal, and when viewed from the thickness direction of the dielectric substrate, the other of the first conductive wires The first conductor is crossed over the gap and the other end is connected to the upper conductor layer so that the line connecting the end and the other end of the second conductor crosses the gap. Since the other end is connected to the terminating conductor without traversing the gap, the electric field from the high-frequency signal terminal to the ground terminal passes through the gap while passing over the first and second conductors. In a direction that is easy to couple with a rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line Because the converted, it is possible to satisfactorily connect the high frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide-type transmission line.

また、上述した構成を備える本発明の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造によれば、2つの接地端子の間に高周波信号端子が配置されており、一方端が2つの接地端子にそれぞれ接続された2本の第2の導線が、それぞれ第1の導線の両側で2つの接地端子から間隙に向かうように配置されているときには、第1の導線の両側に第2の導線が位置するので、第1および第2の導線を通過する電磁波の漏れを低減することができる。   Further, according to the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit of the present invention having the above-described configuration and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line, the high-frequency signal terminal is disposed between the two ground terminals, and one end has two grounds. When the two second conductors respectively connected to the terminals are arranged to face the gap from the two ground terminals on both sides of the first conductor, the second conductors are arranged on both sides of the first conductor. Therefore, leakage of electromagnetic waves passing through the first and second conducting wires can be reduced.

(Example of embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a connection structure between a high-frequency circuit and a rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line as an example of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically showing a connection structure between the high-frequency circuit shown in FIG. 1 and a rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the dielectric substrate 11 is seen through in order to make the structure easy to understand.

本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造は、図1および図2に示すように、誘電体基板11,上側導体層21,下側導体層22および側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bで構成された方形導波管型高周波線路20と、誘電体基板11および下側導体層22で構成された延長部63と、終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cと、終端用導体32と、高周波信号端子42および接地端子43a,43bを有する高周波回路が内蔵された半導体素子41と、第1の導線51と、第2の導線52a,52bとを備えている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit of this example and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line is a dielectric substrate 11, an upper conductor layer 21, a lower conductor layer 22, and a through-hole conductor group for side walls. A rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 constituted by 23a, 23b, an extension 63 constituted by the dielectric substrate 11 and the lower conductor layer 22, termination through conductors 31a, 31b, 31c, and termination conductors 32, a semiconductor element 41 incorporating a high-frequency circuit having a high-frequency signal terminal 42 and ground terminals 43a and 43b, a first conductive wire 51, and second conductive wires 52a and 52b.

誘電体基板11は、1層または複数層の誘電体層からなる。上側導体層21は、誘電体基板11の上面に配置されており、方形導波管型高周波線路20の上側の管壁として機能する。下側導体層22は、誘電体基板11の下面に配置されており、方形導波管型高周波線路20の下側の管壁として機能する。2列の側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bは、それぞれ高周波信号の伝播方向(X方向)に高周波信号の波長の1/2未満の繰り返し間隔で、上側導体層21および下側導体層22を電気的に接続するように配置されており、方形導波管型高周波線路20の2つの側壁として機能する。このように、方形導波管型高周波線路20は、誘電体基板11,上側導体層21,下側導体層22および側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bで構成されており、上側導体層21,下側導体層22および2列の側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bで囲まれた領域によって高周波信号を伝送する。また、延長部63は、方形導波管型高周波線路20の高周波信号の伝播方向(X方向)の一方端部から、高周波信号の伝播方向に延長された誘電体基板11および下側導体層22によって構成されている。すなわち、この延長部63においては、誘電体基板11の下面には下側導体層22が配置されているが、誘電体基板11の上面には上側導体層21が配置されていない。つまり、誘電体基板11および下側導体層22の延長部63は、誘電体基板11の上面に上側導体層21が形成されていない、上側導体層21の非形成領域となっている。   The dielectric substrate 11 is composed of one or a plurality of dielectric layers. The upper conductor layer 21 is disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11 and functions as the upper tube wall of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20. The lower conductor layer 22 is disposed on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate 11 and functions as a lower tube wall of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20. The two rows of through-hole conductor groups 23a and 23b electrically connect the upper conductor layer 21 and the lower conductor layer 22 with a repetition interval of less than half the wavelength of the high-frequency signal in the high-frequency signal propagation direction (X direction). Are connected so as to function as two side walls of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20. As described above, the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 includes the dielectric substrate 11, the upper conductor layer 21, the lower conductor layer 22, and the side wall through conductor groups 23a and 23b. A high frequency signal is transmitted by a region surrounded by the side conductor layer 22 and the two side wall through conductor groups 23a and 23b. In addition, the extension part 63 is provided with the dielectric substrate 11 and the lower conductor layer 22 that are extended in the high-frequency signal propagation direction from one end of the high-frequency signal propagation direction (X direction) of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20. It is constituted by. That is, in the extension 63, the lower conductor layer 22 is disposed on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate 11, but the upper conductor layer 21 is not disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11. That is, the extension 63 of the dielectric substrate 11 and the lower conductor layer 22 is a non-formation region of the upper conductor layer 21 where the upper conductor layer 21 is not formed on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11.

終端用導体32は、矩形状であり、延長部63の誘電体基板11の上面に上側導体層21と間隙61をあけて配置されている。また、終端用導体32は、延長部63の誘電体基板11を貫通する終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cを介して延長部63の下側導体層22に接続されている。半導体素子41は、高周波信号端子42および接地端子43a,43bを有する高周波回路が内蔵されている。また、半導体素子41は、間隙61に対して終端用導体32側に配置されており、延長部63の誘電体基板11の上面に配置されたパッド電極45に実装されている。高周波信号端子42は、半導体素子41の上面に配置されており、高周波信号の入力および出力の少なくとも一方のために使用される。接地端子43a,43bは、高周波信号端子42を挟むように高周波信号端子42の両側に隣接して配置されている。すわなち、2つの接地端子43a,43bの間に高周波信号端子42が配置されている。   The terminating conductor 32 has a rectangular shape, and is disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11 of the extension 63 with a gap 61 between the upper conductor layer 21. The terminating conductor 32 is connected to the lower conductor layer 22 of the extending portion 63 through terminating through conductors 31a, 31b, and 31c that penetrate the dielectric substrate 11 of the extending portion 63. The semiconductor element 41 incorporates a high frequency circuit having a high frequency signal terminal 42 and ground terminals 43a and 43b. The semiconductor element 41 is disposed on the terminal conductor 32 side with respect to the gap 61, and is mounted on the pad electrode 45 disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11 of the extension 63. The high frequency signal terminal 42 is disposed on the upper surface of the semiconductor element 41 and is used for at least one of input and output of a high frequency signal. The ground terminals 43a and 43b are arranged adjacent to both sides of the high frequency signal terminal 42 so as to sandwich the high frequency signal terminal 42 therebetween. That is, the high frequency signal terminal 42 is disposed between the two ground terminals 43a and 43b.

第1の導線51は、一方端が高周波信号端子42に接続されており、高周波信号端子42から間隙61へ向かうように配置されている。第2の導線52a,52bは、それぞれ一方端が接地端子43a,43bに接続されており、第1の導線51の両側で2つの接地端子43a,43bから間隙61に向かうように配置されている。また、第1の導線51は間隙61上を横断して他方端が上側導体層21に接続されているとともに、第2の導線52a,52bは間隙61上を横断することなく他方端が終端用導体32に接続されており、誘電体基板11の厚み方向から見たときに、第1の導線51の他方端と第2の導線52a,52bの他方端とを結ぶ線分が間隙61を横断するように第1の導線51および第2の導線52a,52bが配置されている。   The first conducting wire 51 has one end connected to the high frequency signal terminal 42 and is disposed so as to go from the high frequency signal terminal 42 to the gap 61. The second conductors 52a and 52b have one ends connected to the ground terminals 43a and 43b, respectively, and are arranged on both sides of the first conductor 51 so as to face the gap 61 from the two ground terminals 43a and 43b. . The first conductor 51 crosses the gap 61 and the other end is connected to the upper conductor layer 21. The second conductors 52a and 52b do not cross the gap 61 and the other end is for termination. A line segment connected to the conductor 32 and connecting the other end of the first conductor 51 and the other ends of the second conductors 52a and 52b crosses the gap 61 when viewed from the thickness direction of the dielectric substrate 11. Thus, the first conductor 51 and the second conductors 52a and 52b are arranged.

このような構成を備える本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造によれば、誘電体基板11の厚み方向(Z方向)から見たときに、第1の導線51の他方端と第2の導線52a,52bの他方端とを結ぶ線分が間隙61を横断するように、第1の導線51は間隙61上を横断して他方端が上側導体層21に接続されているとともに、第2の導線52a,52bは間隙61上を横断することなく他方端が終端用導体32に接続されているので、高周波信号端子42から接地端子43a,43bに向かう電界が第1の導線51から第2の導線52a,52bへ向かう電界となり、第1および第2の導線52a,52b上を通過する間に、間隙61を介して方形導波管型高周波線路20と結合しやすい方向へ徐々に変換される。これにより、高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20とを良好に接続することができる。よって、半導体素子41に搭載された高周波回路からの高周波信号を方形導波管型高周波線路20に良好に伝達し、また、方形導波管型高周波線路20を伝播してきた高周波信号を半導体素子41に搭載された高周波回路に良好に伝達することが可能となる。   According to the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit of this example having such a configuration and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line, when viewed from the thickness direction (Z direction) of the dielectric substrate 11, The first conductor 51 crosses the gap 61 and the other end is connected to the upper conductor layer 21 so that a line segment connecting the other end and the other ends of the second conductors 52a and 52b crosses the gap 61. In addition, the second conductors 52a and 52b are connected to the terminating conductor 32 without traversing the gap 61, so that the electric field from the high-frequency signal terminal 42 to the ground terminals 43a and 43b is the first. The electric field from the first conductive wire 51 to the second conductive wires 52a and 52b becomes an electric field, and is easily coupled to the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 through the gap 61 while passing over the first and second conductive wires 52a and 52b. It is gradually converted in the direction. Thereby, the high frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20 can be connected well. Therefore, the high frequency signal from the high frequency circuit mounted on the semiconductor element 41 is satisfactorily transmitted to the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20, and the high frequency signal propagated through the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20 is transmitted to the semiconductor element 41. Can be satisfactorily transmitted to the high-frequency circuit mounted on the.

また、本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造によれば、第1の導線51と接地端子43a,43bに接続された第2の導線52a,52bとが対になって高周波の伝送線路を形成するので、第1の導線51および第2の導線52a,52bの長さが長くなってもインダクタンス成分の増加を抑制することができるとともに、電磁波の漏れを抑えることができる。これにより、第1の導線51および第2の導線52a,52bの長さを無理に短くする必要がないためキャビティが不要になるとともに、スタブ等の整合回路も不要になる。よって、構造が単純で安価な高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20との接続構造を得ることができる。   Further, according to the connection structure of the high-frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line of this example, the first conductive wire 51 and the second conductive wires 52a and 52b connected to the ground terminals 43a and 43b are paired. Therefore, even if the lengths of the first conductive wire 51 and the second conductive wires 52a and 52b are increased, an increase in inductance component can be suppressed and leakage of electromagnetic waves can be suppressed. it can. This eliminates the need for forcibly shortening the lengths of the first conducting wire 51 and the second conducting wires 52a and 52b, so that a cavity is unnecessary and a matching circuit such as a stub is also unnecessary. Therefore, a connection structure between the simple and inexpensive high-frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide high-frequency line 20 can be obtained.

さらに、本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造によれば、接地端子43a,43bに接続された第2の導線52a,52bが、それぞれ第1の導線51の両側で間隙61に向かうように配置されているので、空中において第1の導線51の両側に第2の導線52a,52bが位置するコプレーナ線路に類似した構造が実現できる。これにより、第1の導線51を通過する高周波信号の漏れおよび外部からの電磁界ノイズの影響をさらに低減することができる。   Furthermore, according to the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit of this example and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line, the second conductive wires 52a and 52b connected to the ground terminals 43a and 43b are provided on both sides of the first conductive wire 51, respectively. Since it is arranged to face the gap 61, a structure similar to a coplanar line in which the second conductors 52a and 52b are located on both sides of the first conductor 51 in the air can be realized. Thereby, the influence of the leakage of the high frequency signal which passes the 1st conducting wire 51, and the electromagnetic field noise from the outside can further be reduced.

本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造では、終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cは、方形導波管型高周波線路20の高周波信号の伝播方向(X方向)の一方における管壁に類似した機能を有すると推測される。よって、互いに隣り合う終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31c同士の間隔は、高周波信号の波長の1/2未満であるのが望ましく、1/4未満であるのがさら望ましい。また、終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cは、方形導波管型高周波線路20の幅方向の中央部に、高周波信号の波長の1/4程度以上の長さに渡って配置されるのが望ましく、高周波信号の波長の1/2以上の長さに渡って配置されるのが望ましい。また、間隙61の間隔によって高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20との接続の度合いが変化するので、間隙61の間隔は、高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20との接続状態に応じて適宜設定される。   In the connection structure between the high frequency circuit of this example and the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line, the terminating through conductors 31a, 31b, 31c are one of the high frequency signal propagation directions (X direction) of the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20. It is presumed to have a function similar to the tube wall in Therefore, it is desirable that the interval between the terminating through conductors 31a, 31b, and 31c adjacent to each other is less than ½ of the wavelength of the high-frequency signal, and more desirably less than ¼. Further, the terminating through conductors 31a, 31b, and 31c are arranged in the central portion in the width direction of the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20 over a length of about 1/4 or more of the wavelength of the high frequency signal. Desirably, it should be arranged over a length of ½ or more of the wavelength of the high-frequency signal. In addition, since the degree of connection between the high-frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 varies depending on the interval of the gap 61, the interval of the gap 61 depends on the connection state between the high-frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20. It is set accordingly.

本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造において、第1の導線51および第2の導線52a,52bは、例えば、金,アルミニウム等の金属線からなり、例えば0.01mm〜0.05mm程度の太さに設定され、例えばワイヤボンダを用いて容易に形成することができる。また、第1の導線31の長さは信号波長の1/2程度とするのが望ましい。誘電体基板11の比誘電率は、例えば2〜20程度とされる。誘電体基板11の材質としては、高周波信号の伝送を妨げない特性を有するものであれば特に限定するものではなく、ガラスエポキシ等の樹脂を使用することも可能であるが、方形導波管型高周波線路20とを形成する際の精度および製造の容易性の点からは誘電体セラミックスを使用することが望ましい。上側導体層21,下側導体層22,終端用導体32およびパッド電極45は、良導電性の金属からなり、その厚みは、例えば、3μm〜50μm程度とされる。側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bの繰り返し間隔は、高周波信号の漏洩を防止する観点から、方形導波管型高周波線路20を伝送する高周波信号の波長の1/2未満であることが必要であり、1/4未満であることが好ましい。側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bおよび終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cとしてはビアホールやスルーホールを用いることができ、その直径は、例えば0.05mm〜0.5mm程度とされる。   In the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit of this example and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line, the first conducting wire 51 and the second conducting wires 52a and 52b are made of metal wires such as gold and aluminum, for example, 0.01 mm to The thickness is set to about 0.05 mm and can be easily formed using, for example, a wire bonder. Further, the length of the first conducting wire 31 is preferably about ½ of the signal wavelength. The relative dielectric constant of the dielectric substrate 11 is, for example, about 2 to 20. The material of the dielectric substrate 11 is not particularly limited as long as it has a characteristic that does not hinder the transmission of high-frequency signals, and it is possible to use a resin such as glass epoxy, but a rectangular waveguide type It is desirable to use dielectric ceramics from the viewpoint of accuracy in forming the high-frequency line 20 and ease of manufacture. The upper conductor layer 21, the lower conductor layer 22, the terminating conductor 32, and the pad electrode 45 are made of a highly conductive metal, and have a thickness of about 3 μm to 50 μm, for example. The repetition interval between the side wall through conductor groups 23a and 23b needs to be less than ½ of the wavelength of the high frequency signal transmitted through the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20 from the viewpoint of preventing leakage of the high frequency signal. , Preferably less than ¼. Via holes and through holes can be used as the side wall through conductor groups 23a, 23b and the termination through conductors 31a, 31b, 31c, and the diameter thereof is, for example, about 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm.

本例の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20との接続構造における、方形導波管型高周波線路20,終端用導体32,終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cおよびパッド電極45については、例えば、次のようにして作製することができる。まず、ガラス,アルミナ,窒化アルミニウム等を主成分とするセラミック原料粉末に適当な有機溶剤と溶媒とを添加混合して得た泥漿を用いて、ドクターブレード法やカレンダーロール法等によってセラミックグリーンシートを作製する。次に、得られたセラミックグリーンシートにパンチングマシーン等を用いて側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bおよび終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cを形成するための貫通孔を形成し、金属粉末に適当なアルミナ・シリカ・マグネシア等の酸化物や有機溶剤等を添加混合してペースト状にしたものを、厚膜印刷法により貫通孔に充填するとともにセラミックグリーンシートの表面に塗布して導体ペースト付きセラミックグリーンシートを作製する。次に、得られた導体ペースト付きセラミックグリーンシートを積層し、ホットプレス装置を用いて圧着して積層体を形成する。そして、得られた積層体を、誘電体層がガラスセラミックスの場合は850℃〜1000℃程度、アルミナ質セラミックスの場合は1500℃〜1700℃程度、窒化アルミニウム質セラミックスの場合は1600℃〜1900℃程度のピーク温度で焼成することによって作製される。なお、金属粉末としては、誘電体層がガラスセラミックスの場合は銅,金または銀が、誘電体層がアルミナ質セラミックスまたは窒化アルミニウム質セラミックスの場合にはタングステンまたはモリブデンが好適である。   Regarding the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20, the terminating conductor 32, the terminating through conductors 31a, 31b, 31c and the pad electrode 45 in the connection structure of the high frequency circuit of this example and the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line 20, For example, it can be produced as follows. First, using a slurry obtained by adding and mixing a suitable organic solvent and solvent to a ceramic raw material powder mainly composed of glass, alumina, aluminum nitride, etc., a ceramic green sheet is formed by a doctor blade method or a calender roll method.

(変形例)
本発明は前述した実施の形態の例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の変更,改良が可能である。
(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

例えば、前述した実施の形態の例においては、第1の導線51が間隙61の長さ方向の中央部付近を間隙61の長さ方向に直交するように横断する例を示したが、間隙61の中央部以外を横断しても良く、間隙61を斜めに横断しても構わない。また、前述した実施の形態の例においては、間隙61の長さ方向が方形導波管型高周波線路20の長さ方向と直交する場合を示したが、間隙61の長さ方向が方形導波管型高周波線路20の長さ方向に対して斜めになっていても構わない。但し、方形導波管型高周波線路20の幅方向の中央部であり、且つ間隙61の長さ方向の中央部を、方形導波管型高周波線路20の幅方向および間隙61の長さ方向に直交するように横断するのが、高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20との接続を良好にする上で望ましい。   For example, in the example of the embodiment described above, an example in which the first conducting wire 51 crosses the vicinity of the central portion in the length direction of the gap 61 so as to be orthogonal to the length direction of the gap 61 is shown. It is possible to cross the central portion other than the central portion of the gap 61 or to cross the gap 61 obliquely. In the example of the embodiment described above, the case where the length direction of the gap 61 is orthogonal to the length direction of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 is shown. However, the length direction of the gap 61 is a rectangular waveguide. It may be inclined with respect to the length direction of the tubular high-frequency line 20. However, the central portion in the width direction of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 and the center portion in the length direction of the gap 61 are arranged in the width direction of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 and the length direction of the gap 61. Crossing so as to be orthogonal is desirable in order to improve the connection between the high-frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20.

また、前述した実施の形態の例においては、第1の導線51を挟むように2本の第2の導線52a,52bが配置された例を示したが、第2の導線は1本でも良く、また、3本以上でも構わない。   In the example of the embodiment described above, the example in which the two second conductive wires 52a and 52b are arranged so as to sandwich the first conductive wire 51 is shown. However, the number of the second conductive wires may be one. Also, three or more may be used.

さらに、前述した実施の形態の例においては、第2の導線52a,52bが第1の導線51に平行に配置された例を示したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、第1の導線51と第2の導線52a,52bとの間隔が徐々に広がるようにしても良く、また、徐々に狭まるようにしても構わない。第2の導線52a,52bの他方端同士の間隔を第2の導線52a,52bの一方端同士の間隔よりも小さくすることにより、第1の導線51の他方端と第2の導線52a,52bの他方端との間の電界の間隙61の長さ方向に直交する成分が増大するので、高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路20との接続をより良好にすることができる。   Furthermore, in the example of the above-described embodiment, the example in which the second conducting wires 52a and 52b are arranged in parallel to the first conducting wire 51 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the distance between the first conductor 51 and the second conductors 52a and 52b may be gradually increased or may be gradually decreased. By making the interval between the other ends of the second conducting wires 52a, 52b smaller than the interval between the one ends of the second conducting wires 52a, 52b, the other end of the first conducting wire 51 and the second conducting wires 52a, 52b. Since the component orthogonal to the length direction of the gap 61 of the electric field between the other end of the first and second ends increases, the connection between the high-frequency circuit and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 can be improved.

またさらに、前述した実施の形態の例においては、間隙61が帯状に形成された例を示したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、終端用導体32と対向する上側導体層21の中央部が終端用導体32側(−X方向)に突出するような形状にしても構わない。   Furthermore, in the example of the embodiment described above, an example in which the gap 61 is formed in a band shape is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the central portion of the upper conductor layer 21 facing the termination conductor 32 may be shaped to protrude toward the termination conductor 32 (−X direction).

さらにまた、前述した実施の形態の例においては、半導体素子41が配置された領域まで延長部63が形成された例を示したが、これに限定されるものではない。延長部63は、終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cおよび終端用導体32が配置される領域まで存在すれば良い。   Furthermore, in the example of the embodiment described above, the example in which the extension 63 is formed up to the region where the semiconductor element 41 is disposed is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. The extension 63 only needs to exist up to a region where the terminating through conductors 31a, 31b, 31c and the terminating conductor 32 are disposed.

またさらに、前述した実施の形態の例においては、高周波回路が半導体素子41に内蔵された例を示したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、延長部63の誘電体基板11の上面や内部に形成された配線導体および誘電体基板11の上面に搭載された電子部品等によって高周波回路が形成されていても構わない。   Furthermore, in the above-described example of the embodiment, the example in which the high-frequency circuit is built in the semiconductor element 41 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the high-frequency circuit may be formed by an upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11 of the extension 63 or a wiring conductor formed inside and an electronic component mounted on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11.

さらにまた、前述した実施の形態の例においては、3つの終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cが配置された例を示したが、これに限定されるものではない。2つであっても良いし、4つ以上であっても構わない。また、方形導波管型高周波線路20の高周波信号の伝播方向と直交する方向(Y方向)に長く延びる形状を有する1つの終端用貫通導体としても構わない。   Furthermore, in the example of the above-described embodiment, the example in which the three termination through conductors 31a, 31b, and 31c are arranged is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. There may be two, or four or more. Further, it may be a single terminating through conductor having a shape that extends long in the direction (Y direction) orthogonal to the high-frequency signal propagation direction of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20.

次に、本発明の高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造の具体例について説明する。   Next, a specific example of the connection structure between the high frequency circuit of the present invention and the rectangular waveguide type high frequency line will be described.

図1および図2に示した高周波回路と方形導波管型高周波線路との接続構造の電気特性をシミュレーションした。シミュレーションにおいて、誘電体基板11は、比誘電率を9.87とし、誘電正接を0.003とし、厚みを0.15mmとした。側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bおよび終端用貫通導体31a,31b,31cは直径0.1mmのビアホールとした。側壁用貫通導体群23a,23bのそれぞれの貫通導体の配列ピッチは、隣接する貫通導体の中心同士の間隔で0.3mmとした。側壁用貫通導体群23aと側壁用貫通導体群23bとの間隔は、貫通導体の中心同士の間隔で1.2mmとした。終端用導体32は、幅が0.3mmで長さが0.5mmの矩形状とした。終端用導体32と上側導体層21との間隙61は、長さが0.5mmで幅が0.13mmの矩形状とした。高周波信号端子42から第1の導線51の他方端までの水平距離は1.3mm程度とし、誘電体基板11の上面から第1の導線51の上端迄の高さは0.46mm程度とした。   The electrical characteristics of the connection structure between the high-frequency circuit shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line were simulated. In the simulation, the dielectric substrate 11 had a relative dielectric constant of 9.87, a dielectric loss tangent of 0.003, and a thickness of 0.15 mm. The side wall through conductor groups 23a and 23b and the termination through conductors 31a, 31b and 31c were via holes having a diameter of 0.1 mm. The arrangement pitch of the through conductors of the side wall through conductor groups 23a and 23b was set to 0.3 mm at the interval between the centers of the adjacent through conductors. The distance between the side wall through conductor group 23a and the side wall through conductor group 23b was set to 1.2 mm at the distance between the centers of the through conductors. The terminating conductor 32 was rectangular with a width of 0.3 mm and a length of 0.5 mm. The gap 61 between the terminating conductor 32 and the upper conductor layer 21 was rectangular with a length of 0.5 mm and a width of 0.13 mm. The horizontal distance from the high frequency signal terminal 42 to the other end of the first conducting wire 51 was about 1.3 mm, and the height from the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 11 to the upper end of the first conducting wire 51 was about 0.46 mm.

そして、半導体素子41に内蔵された高周波回路の高周波信号端子42をポート1,方形導波管型高周波線路20の延長部63と反対側をポート2として、その伝送特性(S21)および反射特性(S11,S22)を求めた。図3はその結果を示すグラフであり、横軸は周波数を表し、縦軸は減衰量を表している。図3に示すグラフによれば、75GHz〜82GHz程度の広い周波数範囲においてS11,S22が−10dBを越えている優れた接続特性が得られていることがわかる。これにより本発明の有効性が確認できた。   The high-frequency signal terminal 42 of the high-frequency circuit incorporated in the semiconductor element 41 is port 1 and the opposite side to the extension 63 of the rectangular waveguide type high-frequency line 20 is port 2, and its transmission characteristics (S21) and reflection characteristics ( S11, S22) were obtained. FIG. 3 is a graph showing the results, where the horizontal axis represents frequency and the vertical axis represents attenuation. According to the graph shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that excellent connection characteristics in which S11 and S22 exceed -10 dB are obtained in a wide frequency range of about 75 GHz to 82 GHz. This confirmed the effectiveness of the present invention.
