Patent ID: 7432783

Claim:
A filter device substrate comprising a plurality of ceramic layers stacked on top of each other; a cavity provided for containing at least one filter chip for transmission or reception; a filter chip mounting portion for mounting the filter chip on one ceramic layer constituting a bottom surface of the cavity; a plurality of side electrodes provided on one or more side surfaces of the plurality of stacked ceramic layers and extending in a stacked direction of the ceramic layers; a signal input pad, a signal output pad, a signal input side ground pad and a signal output side ground pad for connecting a signal input terminal, a signal output terminal, a signal input side ground terminal and a signal output side ground terminal, respectively, of the filter chip, and a signal input side ground pattern and a signal output side ground pattern to be connected to the signal input side ground pad and the signal output side ground pad, respectively, provided on a surface of another ceramic layer different from the ceramic layer having the filter chip mounting portion; a connection wiring pattern for connecting the signal input side ground pattern and the signal output side ground pattern to each other on the surface of the another ceramic layer; and foot terminals to which the signal input pad, the signal output pad, the signal input side ground pattern and the signal output side ground pattern are respectively connected via side electrodes, the signal input pad or the signal output pad being located closest to a side electrode to be connected thereto of the pads of at least one pad group of an input side pad group including the signal input pad and the input side ground pad and an output side pad group including the signal output pad and the output side ground pad, the connection wiring pattern crossing the ceramic layer surface area defined between the signal input pad or the signal output pad and at least one side electrode.
