Abstract

A ceramic semiconductor package suitable for high frequency operation includes internal and external ground planes formed on opposite faces of a ceramic base member. The internal ground plane is connected to a ground ring formed on the packaged semiconductor device, and both ground planes are interconnected about the periphery of the package. In this way, a uniform and continuous ground is provided to minimize variations in signal transmission line impedance.
