Definitions
- the present invention relates to integrated passive circuitry designs and fabrication thereof.
- a method of forming integrated circuitry in a single plane comprising a plurality of passive components selected from the group consisting of capacitors, resistors, and inductors, the method comprising the steps of forming on a substrate a first pattern of conductive material and a first set of passive component elements, and depositing a patterned dielectric layer onto the substrate, wherein the first pattern of conductive material provides electrical connectivity to the first set of passive component elements.
- the substrate comprises alumina.
- the first set of passive component elements optionally comprises interdigitated capacitor electrodes.
- the method may also comprise the step of forming a floating plane over the dielectric layer.
- the first set of passive component elements may comprise a first set of electrodes of a set of parallel plate capacitors.
- the inventive method additionally may also comprise the further step of forming a second pattern of conductive material and a second set of passive component elements wherein the second pattern of conductive material provides electrical connectivity to the second set of passive component elements.
- the second set of passive component elements preferably comprises a second set of electrodes of a set of parallel plate capacitors paired with the first set of electrodes.
- the inventive method additionally may also comprise the step of forming a second pattern of conductive material and a second set of passive component elements, wherein the second pattern of conductive material provides electrical connectivity to the second set of passive component elements.
- an integrated circuit in a single plane formed by the aforementioned process of the invention may comprise a plurality of interdigitated capacitor electrodes.

- DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION)
- the present invention is a novel integrated passive (capacitor, resistor and inductor) design and construction process involving definition of electrically functional materials.
- the primary advantage of the technology is the capability to form or insert multiple electrically functional components within the same plane. Connection of passive to active components is made using standard circuit patterns. In contrast, traditional integrated passives are fabricated in a multi-layer construction with each plane serving a single function. Connection of the passives to the surface mounted active components is achieved through circuit patterning and vias that serve as conductive paths between individual layers.
- the capacitor design of the present invention includes opposing conductive electrodes separated by a dielectric. Distinct from conventional designs, the capacitor design of the present invention includes definition or patterning of the dielectric.
- the dielectric layer is formed in specific areas on one or both electrode surfaces. In the case of an interdigitated electrode pattern 10, the dielectric 12 is deposited on both electrodes 14,14" (see Fig. 1) on a substrate 16 (e.g., alumina). A floating plate electrode 18 can be added, which increases the electric field and capacitance (see Fig. 2). In the case of a parallel plate electrode pattern, the dielectric is placed between two parallel plate electrodes 20,20' (see Fig. 3).
- a bottom electrode pattern is formed on an electrical substrate, e.g., alumina, using conventional plating, photoresist and/or etching processes.
- a photo or ultraviolet sensitive dielectric layer is coated onto the entire substrate using conventional film forming processes such as spin or dip coating.
- the dielectric layer is preferentially exposed to ultraviolet radiation to induce curing or polymerization of the dielectric coating.
- the unexposed dielectric coating is removed from the electrical substrate through solvent washing. (Specific areas of the dielectric coating remain over the bottom electrode pattern.)
- a top electrode patterned is formed above the bottom electrode pattern on top of the dielectric coating.
- connection to the top and bottom capacitor planes is made through circuit patterns formed with the bottom and top electrodes.
- electrically functional materials is not limited to photo patterning. Physical masking or other processes can also be used for preferential deposition.
