A semiconductor device package includes a substrate, first and second chip
pads spaced apart over a surface of the substrate, and an insulating
layer located over the surface of the substrate. The insulating layer
includes a stepped upper surface defined by at least a lower reference
potential line support surface portion, and an upper signal line support
surface portion, where a thickness of the insulating layer at the lower
reference potential line support surface portion is less than a thickness
of the insulating layer at the upper signal line support surface portion.
The package further includes a conductive reference potential line
electrically connected to the first chip pad and located on the lower
reference potential support surface portion of the insulating layer, a
conductive signal line electrically connected to the second chip pad and
located on the upper signal line support surface portion, and first and
second external terminals electrically connected to the conductive
reference potential line and the conductive signal line, respectively.
