Abstract

A structure ( 10 ) includes at least three conductors ( 111, 131, 151 ) that are opposed to each other, a penetration via ( 101 ) that penetrates the conductors ( 111, 131, 151 ), openings ( 112, 152 ) that are formed so as to surround the penetration via ( 101 ), and conductor elements ( 121, 141 ) that are located in layers other than the layers in which the conductors ( 111, 131, 151 ) are located and that are connected to the penetration via ( 101 ). The conductor element ( 121 ) larger than the opening ( 112 ) is opposed to the opening ( 112 ) and the conductor element ( 141 ) larger than the opening ( 152 ) is opposed to the opening ( 152 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A circuit board comprising: a plurality of structures, each of the structures having, at least three first conductors that are opposed to each other; penetration vias that penetrate each of the first conductors; an opening that is formed in at least one of the first conductors so as to surround the penetration via passing through the first conductors and that insulates the penetration via from the at least one first conductor; and a plurality of second conductors that are located in a plurality of layers other than layers in which the first conductors are located and that are connected to the penetration via, wherein the second conductors are transmission lines, where one ends thereof are connected to each of the penetration vias and the other ends thereof are open ends; and wherein the first conductors of neighboring ones of said plurality of structures are directly connected.

2. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first conductors located at both ends of the first conductors is connected to the penetration via, and
wherein all the other first conductors have the opening formed therein and are insulated from the penetration via.

3. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the other first conductors are located on the same side with respect to the one of the first conductors connected to the penetration via, and
wherein all the other first conductors have the opening formed therein and are insulated from the penetration via.

4. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the other first conductors are opposed to each other with the one of the first conductors connected to the penetration via interposed therebetween, and
wherein all the other first conductors have the opening formed therein and are insulated from the penetration via.

5. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein all the first conductors have the opening formed therein and are insulated from the penetration via.

6. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the penetration vias are repeatedly arranged, and
wherein the plurality of second conductors located in the same layer are connected to the different penetration vias, respectively.

7. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the openings are opposed to at least one of the second conductors.

8. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the second conductors is equal to the number of the openings.

9. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein each of a plurality of parallel plates constructed by opposing the at least three first conductors to each other constitutes an electromagnetic bandgap structure along with the penetration via and the second conductors.
