Abstract

A transmission circuit includes: an upper-layer clock bonding pad configured to transmit a clock signal; M upper-layer data bonding pads configured to transmit data signals; a lower-layer clock bonding pad electrically connected with the upper-layer clock bonding pad, and an area of the lower-layer clock bonding pad is smaller than that of the upper-layer clock bonding pad; and M lower-layer data bonding pads electrically connected with the M upper-layer data bonding pads in a one-to-one correspondence, and an area of a lower-layer data bonding pad is smaller than that of an upper-layer data bonding pad. The upper-layer clock bonding pad and the upper-layer data bonding pads are located on a first layer, the lower-layer clock bonding pad and the lower-layer data bonding pads are located on a second layer.

a lower-layer clock bonding pad, electrically connected with the upper-layer clock bonding pad, wherein an area of the lower-layer clock bonding pad is smaller than that of the upper-layer clock bonding pad; and

M lower-layer data bonding pads, electrically connected with the M upper-layer data bonding pads in a one-to-one correspondence, wherein an area of a lower-layer data bonding pad is smaller than that of an upper-layer data bonding pad;

wherein the upper-layer clock bonding pad and the upper-layer data bonding pads are located on a first layer, the lower-layer clock bonding pad and the lower-layer data bonding pads are located on a second layer, a dielectric layer is arranged between the first layer and the second layer, and the first layer, the dielectric layer and the second layer are all located on a same substrate, M being an integer greater than or equal to 2;

wherein the lower-layer data bonding pads are arranged in two parallel rows, and the lower-layer clock bonding pad is located in one of the two parallel rows; and

wherein part of the upper-layer data bonding pads and the upper-layer clock bonding pad are arranged in a same row, and remaining upper-layer data bonding pads are arranged in a same column around two or more sides of the two parallel rows of the lower-layer data bonding pads and the lower-layer clock bonding pad.

2. The transmission circuit of claim 1 , further comprising: a first metal connecting line, located between the lower-layer clock bonding pad and the upper-layer clock bonding pad; and a second metal connecting line, located between a lower-layer data bonding pad and an upper-layer data bonding pad corresponding to the lower-layer data bonding pad, wherein a length of the first metal connecting line is smaller than that of the second metal connecting line.

3.
