Patent ID: 8153907

Claim:
An electromagnetic bandgap structure, comprising: a first metal layer; a first dielectric layer, stacked on the first metal layer; a second metal layer, stacked on the first dielectric layer and having a hole formed at a predetermined position; a second dielectric layer, stacked on the second metal layer; a metal plate, stacked on the second dielectric layer; a first via, penetrating the hole formed on the second metal layer and connecting the first metal layer and the metal plate; a third dielectric layer, stacked on the metal plate and the second dielectric layer; a third metal layer, stacked on the third dielectric layer; and a plurality of second vias, connecting the second metal layer to the third metal layer, wherein the third metal layer is positioned over an area in which the metal plate is stacked, the third metal layer having a greater area than the metal plate, and the third metal layer being stacked over the metal plate in such a way that the metal plate is completely covered by the third metal layer, the second metal layer is positioned under the entire area in which the metal plate is stacked, and the second metal layer has a greater area than the metal plate, the metal plate, the first metal layer and the first via are electrically separated from the second metal layer and the third metal layer, the plurality of second vias connect to the second metal layer to the third metal layer through an area excluding the area in which the metal plate is stacked a plurality of mushroom type structures including the metal plates and the first vias are placed between the first metal layer and the third metal layer, and a plurality of holes are formed in the second metal layer, according to a position of each of the first vias of the mushroom type structures.
