Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a noise filter for surely reducing a noise without interrupting high density mounting. SOLUTION: A pad 2 for connecting a bonding wire or a wiring pattern is formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate 1, and a pad opposite layer 4 is formed via an insulating layer at the lower surface side of this pad 2. At least one part of the pad 2 and the layer 4 opposite the pad is arranged so as to face each other, and the layer 4 opposite the pad is conducted with a ground layer 5. The pad 2 and the layer 4 opposite the pad are equivalent to a capacitor, and noise components are introduced through the layer 4 opposite the pad to the ground layer 5, even when a voltage including the noise components is impressed to the pad 2 for inputting a signal. Therefore, the pad 2 itself cannot be affected by noise, and it is not necessary to separately connect a noise filter with the pad 2 as in a conventional manner. Thus, high density mounting can be attained.

Various LSIs such as U tend to have complicated functions. Accordingly, high-density mounting technology for mounting a large number of circuit elements such as transistors in one chip, and high-frequency mounting technology for operating each mounted element at high speed. Various research and developments have been conducted on technology.

However, when the operating speed of the LSI increases, high-frequency noise may be generated. In particular, the higher the mounting density on the semiconductor substrate, the more easily the noise is affected. For this reason, conventionally, measures such as forming a noise filter near a pad formed on a semiconductor substrate or forming a circuit element which is particularly susceptible to noise at a distance from other elements have been taken. However, since such a noise countermeasure is performed using a part of the mounting area on the semiconductor substrate, it has been a factor that hinders high-density mounting.
