Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a signal line; a reference potential plane which is separated from the signal line and opposed to the signal line, the reference potential plane being provided with a discontinuous region in a portion intersecting with the signal line, as a delay element to be added to the signal line, and a semiconductor chip, wherein the signal line and the reference potential plane are electrically connected to the semiconductor chip, wherein one side and the other side of the reference potential plane with respect to the discontinuous region are electrically separated from each other through the discontinuous region, wherein the reference potential plane comprises a first reference potential plane and a second reference potential plane which is disposed above the first reference potential plane and separated from the first reference potential plane, the discontinuous region comprises a gap between the first and second reference potential planes.
