Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 to 2, an embodiment of the present invention includes:
a silicon-based filter chip as shown in fig. 1, comprising: the laser penetrates through the through hole 13 and the silicon cavity resonance unit 11, in this embodiment, 3 silicon cavity resonance units are adopted, which are a first silicon cavity resonance unit 111, a second silicon cavity resonance unit 112 and a third silicon cavity resonance unit 113, and the first silicon cavity resonance unit 111, the second silicon cavity resonance unit 112 and the third silicon cavity resonance unit 113 are sequentially arranged in a line.
As shown in fig. 2, each silicon cavity resonant unit includes a first metal layer 21, a high-resistance silicon dielectric layer 22, and a second metal layer 23 sequentially disposed from top to bottom, and the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 23 may be formed on the high-resistance silicon dielectric layer 22 through sputtering and electroplating processes. The resistivity of the high-resistance silicon medium layer 22 is more than or equal to 3000 omega/cm, and the filter has the advantages of small volume, small insertion loss and low transmission loss of electromagnetic waves when being used in millimeter wave bands by adopting the high-resistance silicon medium layer 22.
In this embodiment, the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 23 with a thickness of 10um and the high-resistance silicon dielectric layer 22 with a thickness of 400um are used, and the silicon cavity resonance unit 11 is rectangular, has a length of 3mm and a width of 1.54mm, and is small in size.
The edge of silicon cavity resonance unit 11 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 12, through-hole 12 runs through first metal level 21, high resistant silicon dielectric layer 22 and second metal level 23, and the inner wall surface is provided with the metal deposition layer to form the silicon cavity that is used for the resonance, thereby make the electromagnetic wave can't outwards reveal away by the silicon cavity, energy transmission loss is little, makes the wave filter have the advantage that the insertion loss is little. The through hole 12 is a full through hole 122 or a half through hole 121. As shown in fig. 1, the half vias 121 at the edges of two adjacent silicon cavity resonant units 11 are correspondingly combined into a full via structure.
The laser through hole 13 is formed by breaking down the first metal layer 21, the high-resistance silicon dielectric layer 22 and the second metal layer 23 by laser spot-firing, and is distributed on two sides 132 of the through holes of two adjacent silicon cavity resonance units, or at a metal layer joint 131 of the two adjacent silicon cavity resonance units. The laser through via 132 reduces the cavity size of the silicon cavity resonance unit 11 by increasing the size of the via 12, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the overall filtering frequency, but the adjustment range is small, and the laser through via is only used for correction under the condition that the processing batch generates slight low-frequency deviation.
The laser through hole 131 reduces the equivalent cavity size of the silicon cavity resonance unit 11 by perturbing the electromagnetic field of the silicon cavity resonance unit 11, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the overall filtering frequency, and the adjustment range is slightly larger, so that the laser through hole can be used for correction under the condition that the processing batch generates larger deviation to low frequency. The degree of the frequency shift-up is related to the distance 18 by which the laser via 131 moves into the silicon cavity resonance unit 11, and the more inward, the greater the degree of the shift-up in the effective range.
In order to realize the input and output of signals, an input feed line slot 14, a first defect coupling slot 15, an output feed line slot 16 and a second defect coupling slot 17 are also needed, wherein the input feed line slot 14 and the first defect coupling slot 15 are etched on a first metal layer on a head silicon cavity resonance unit of any line in a silicon cavity resonance unit matrix, and the input feed line slot 14 is communicated with the first defect coupling slot 15 for inputting signals to be filtered;

As shown in fig. 1, the input feed line slot 14 and the output feed line slot 16 extend to the edge of the first metal layer, a signal to be filtered is input to the filter through the input feed line slot 14, and a filtered signal after filtering is output through the output feed line slot 16.
The depths of the input feed line slot 14, the first defect coupling slot 15, the output feed line slot 16 and the second defect coupling slot 17 correspond to the thickness of the first metal layer 21, and the input feed line slot 14 and the output feed line slot 16 can have impedance of 50 omega. In addition, the size of the first defective coupling groove 15 determines the coupling strength between the input feed line groove 14 and the silicon cavity resonance unit 111, and the size of the second defective coupling groove 17 determines the coupling strength between the output feed line groove 16 and the silicon cavity resonance unit 113, and specifically, the larger the sizes of the first defective coupling groove 15 and the second defective coupling groove 17, the larger the coupling strength between the input feed line groove 14 and the silicon cavity resonance unit 111, the larger the coupling strength between the output feed line groove 16 and the silicon cavity resonance unit 113. In this embodiment, the widths of the input feed line slot 14 and the output feed line slot 16 may be 88um, the gap between the two input feed line slots 14 may be 70um, the lengths of the first defective coupling slot 15 and the second defective coupling slot 17 may be 1.1mm, and the widths may be 0.22 mm.
