Abstract

Abstract In a circuit arrangement for a multilayer printed circuit board, a first circuit layer is formed on a substrate, and comprises a dielectric layer having a circuit pattern formed thereon. A second circuit layer is further formed on the first circuit layer, and comprises a dielectric layer having a circuit pattern formed thereon. The first circuit pattern includes conductive segments having only an X-directional component, and the second circuit pattern includes conductive segments having only an Y-directional component perpendicular to the X-directional component. Electric connections between the X-directional segments and the Y-directional segments are suitably established by vias provided in the second layer. The first circuit pattern further includes slant conductive segments having both the X- and Y-directional components and arranged in a blank zone not occupied by the X-directional segments, and the second circuit pattern further includes slant conductive segments having both the X- and Y-directional components and arranged in a blank zone not occupied by the Y-directional segments. Electric connections between the slant segments of the first pattern and the slant segments of the second pattern are suitably established by vias provided in the second layer.
