A kind of method that increases the surface area of inductance
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, more particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of method that increases the surface area of inductance.
Background technology
Skin effect also is called " kelvin effect ".Specifically, when alternating current (alternatingelectric current, AC) passed through conductor, because induction effect causes that on cross-sectional area of conductor, CURRENT DISTRIBUTION is inhomogeneous, the nearly conductive surface current density that heals was larger; This phenomenon claims " skin effect ".Skin effect increases the effective resistance of conductor.When the very high electric current of frequency during by wire, can think that electric current only flows through in very thin one deck on conductive line surfaces, this cross section that is equivalent to wire reduces, and resistance increases.
Skin depth refers to that the current density under this degree of depth is the 1/e of surface current density, namely 0.368 times, be not there is no electric current. surpass after the twice of skin depth the thickness that increases wire limited but be not useless to increasing the Q value, when 1GHz, the skin depth of Al is 2.8um.
For the alternating current in conductor, the current density at close conductive surface place is greater than the phenomenon of conductor internal current density.Along with the raising of power frequency, skin effect increases the resistance of conductor, and inductance reduces.
Prior art has proposed a kind of method of the Litz of being called coiling, the method can effectively improve the Q value (particularly in the situation that high frequency) of inductance, the method of existing techniques in realizing Litz coiling is to adopt the method for photoetching and etching to realize the multiply coiling, yet be subject to lithographic dimensioned and the ability etching processing procedure, distance between the coiling that the method realizes can be larger, and density is lower.

Embodiment
, in order to make content of the present invention more clear and understandable, below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the drawings, content of the present invention is described in detail.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the flow chart according to the method for the surface area of the increase inductance of the embodiment of the present invention.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, according to the method for the surface area of the increase inductance of the embodiment of the present invention, comprise:
First step S1: the silicon chip with first area and second area is provided, wherein first area comprises the lamination of the first oxide skin(coating) 100 and the second oxide skin(coating) 10, second area comprises the lamination of the first oxide skin(coating) 100, intermediate metal layer 200 and the second oxide skin(coating) 10, as shown in the sectional view of Fig. 3, the dotted line left side belongs to first area, and the dotted line right side belongs to second area;
Wherein, for example, the first oxide skin(coating) 100 and the second oxide skin(coating) 10 are all silicon dioxide layers.
Second step S2: in second area in etched circuit fairlead 21, etching strip wire lead slot 20 in the second oxide skin(coating) 10 of first area.
Wherein, first area does not have intermediate metal layer 200 as etching barrier layer, and strip wire lead slot 20 can enter described the first oxide skin(coating) 100; Have the intermediate metal layer 200 as etching barrier layer in second area, circuit lead hole 21 stops at intermediate metal layer 200, and as shown in Figures 2 and 3, wherein Fig. 2 is vertical view, and Fig. 3 is sectional view;
