Abstract

在所描述的晶片级工艺上的电感器(100)的示例中,高导电层(107、114)、聚合物层(105、109、112、116)和磁芯(111)允许高频操作、低RDSON值和高效率。

Description

制造用于高频开关模式电源的微细加工的晶片级集成电感器 或变压器的方法
技术领域
本申请一般涉及集成电感器,并且更具体地涉及将电感器集成到晶片级集成电路工艺中。
背景技术
电感器和变压器可以被用于很多不同类型的电路中。例如,电感器和变压器可以被用于射频(RF)电路和高频功率分布或转换系统,诸如DC-DC电压(或功率)转换器。当前,因各种理由,电压转换器可能不完全集成在芯片上。例如,所期望的操作频率可能需要基于电感器受约束的物理尺寸不能获得的电感值。另外,特别地,基于涡流效应,片上电感器可不具有用于RF或高频电压转换应用的足够高的操作频率。
通过集成电力系统,优势包括处于与由此供电的(一个或多个)电路相同的管芯上的DC-DC电压转换器。例如,当处理器技术缩小到更小的尺寸时,到处理器内的电路的电源电压也可以缩小到更小的值。然而,随着尺寸减小,处理器的功率消耗可能增加。通过使用管芯外电压转换器以大的功率消耗将小的电源电压提供到处理器,大的总电流被供应到处理器。因为每个管脚具有最大电流处理能力,所以这可能增加每个管脚的电流,或增加向处理器供电所需的管脚的总数量。而且,电源电流的增加能够导致各种管芯外和管芯上互连件两端的电阻和电感电压降的增加,并且导致去耦电容器的较高的成本,通过将电压转换器集成到管芯上,可以减轻这些问题和其它问题。
常规的电压调节器被构建有离散电感器。这些调节器的频率一直在增加。通过增加频率,允许所需要的电感减小。如果切换频率是20MHz,则所需要的电感器是~100nH。

在所描述的晶片级工艺上的电感器的示例中,高导电层、聚合物层和磁芯允许高频操作、低RDSON值和高效率。
