Description

電子部品electronic components
 本発明は、半導体基板を備えて、この半導体基板にインダクタ等を設けることにより構成される電子部品に関する。 The present invention relates to an electronic component that includes a semiconductor substrate and is configured by providing an inductor or the like on the semiconductor substrate.
 特許文献1には、半導体基板上に形成された高周波用インダクタンス回路が示されている。この高周波用インダクタンス回路においては、それぞれ1.5ターンの二種のスパイラルコイル型インダクタが交互に接続されるように絶縁性半導体基板上に形成されている。この二種のスパイラルコイル型インダクタのスパイラルコイルの巻回方向は互いに逆方向となっている。 Patent Document 1 shows a high frequency inductance circuit formed on a semiconductor substrate. In this high frequency inductance circuit, two types of spiral coil type inductors each having 1.5 turns are formed on an insulating semiconductor substrate so as to be alternately connected. The winding directions of the spiral coils of these two types of spiral coil type inductors are opposite to each other.
 特許文献1に示されるような高周波用インダクタンス回路によれば、互いに隣接するインダクタのスパイラルコイル導体同士の磁界が打ち消し合わないので、1個の1ターンスパイラルコイル型インダクタから割り出した所望のインダクタンスに必要な個数よりも多くのスパイラルコイル型インダクタを直列に配設する必要がない。 According to the high frequency inductance circuit as shown in Patent Document 1, the magnetic fields of the spiral coil conductors of adjacent inductors do not cancel each other out, so that the inductance required for the desired inductance determined from one one-turn spiral coil type inductor is There is no need to arrange more spiral coil type inductors in series than the actual number.

 特許文献1には上述のスパイラルコイル型インダクタが記載されているものの、それらスパイラルコイル型インダクタを用いて高周波用インダクタンス回路を実際には製作することはできない。直列接続されたスパイラルコイル型インダクタを並置する場合、スパイラルコイル側インダクタが部分的に交差する箇所が必ず生じる。特許文献1に開示されている実施例ではこの交差箇所に関して言及されていない。仮に、特許文献1内に示された図を基に高周波用インダクタンス回路を製作した場合、上記交差箇所でスパイラルコイル型の導体パターンが短絡するため、インダクタとしての電気特性を実現できない。 Although Patent Document 1 describes the above-mentioned spiral coil type inductor, it is not possible to actually manufacture a high frequency inductance circuit using these spiral coil type inductors. When series-connected spiral coil type inductors are arranged side by side, there will always be locations where the spiral coil side inductors partially intersect. The embodiment disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not mention this intersection. If a high-frequency inductance circuit is manufactured based on the diagram shown in Patent Document 1, the spiral coil type conductor pattern will be short-circuited at the above-mentioned intersection points, making it impossible to realize the electrical characteristics of an inductor.

It is a metal film with a
 導電体層3C1,3C2,3D,3Eのパターンはインダクタパターンである。導電体層3A,3Bは引出電極を構成する。パッド電極9A,9Bは例えばワイヤーボンディング用のパッドとして用いられる。 The patterns of the conductor layers 3C1, 3C2, 3D, and 3E are inductor patterns. The conductor layers 3A and 3B constitute extraction electrodes. Pad electrodes 9A and 9B are used, for example, as pads for wire bonding.
 導電体層3C1は、開口パターンCO1を形成するスパイラル状の第1導電体層を構成していて、導電体層3C2は、開口パターンCO2を形成するスパイラル状の第2導電体層を構成している。ここでの「開口パターン」とは、半導体基板1に垂直な方向すなわち図1(A)におけるZ軸方向に見て、電気的に接続された導電体層が一つのスパイラルコイルとしてみなせる場合は、複数の導電体層による一つのコイルとみなしたその開口である。具体的には図1(A)の場合、開口パターンCO1は導電体層3C1と導電体層3Dとに囲まれた領域を指し、開口パターンCO2は導電体層3C2と導電体層3Eとに囲まれた領域を指す。 The conductor layer 3C1 constitutes a spiral-shaped first conductor layer forming an opening pattern CO1, and the conductor layer 3C2 constitutes a spiral-shaped second conductor layer forming an opening pattern CO2. There is. The "opening pattern" here refers to the case where the electrically connected conductor layers can be regarded as one spiral coil when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate 1, that is, the Z-axis direction in FIG. 1(A). This is an opening that is considered to be one coil made of multiple conductor layers. Specifically, in the case of FIG. 1(A), the opening pattern CO1 refers to a region surrounded by the conductor layer 3C1 and the conductor layer 3D, and the opening pattern CO2 refers to the region surrounded by the conductor layer 3C2 and the conductor layer 3E. refers to the area where
 導電体層3D,3Eはパターンが直線的な配線である第3導電体層を構成している。すなわち、第1導電体層と第2導電体層と第3導電体層とは直列に電気的に接続されている。 The conductor layers 3D and 3E constitute a third conductor layer whose pattern is linear wiring. That is, the first conductor layer, the second conductor layer, and the third conductor layer are electrically connected in series.
 スパイラル状の第1導電体層を構成する導電体層3C1には開口パターンCO1の周囲を旋回するように電流が流れる。スパイラル状の第2導電体層を構成する導電体層3C2には開口パターンCO2の周囲を旋回するように電流が流れる。導電体層3C1に流れる電流の旋回方向と導電体層3C2に流れる電流の旋回方向とは逆である。 A current flows through the conductor layer 3C1 constituting the spiral-shaped first conductor layer so as to swirl around the opening pattern CO1. A current flows through the conductor layer 3C2 constituting the spiral-shaped second conductor layer so as to swirl around the opening pattern CO2. The swirling direction of the current flowing through the conductor layer 3C1 and the swirling direction of the current flowing through the conductor layer 3C2 are opposite to each other.
 導電体層3Dの少なくとも一部には、導電体層3C1の開口パターンCO1の周囲を旋回するように流れる電流の旋回方向と同方向に電流が流れる。また、導電体層3Eの少なくとも一部には、導電体層3C2の開口パターンCO2の周囲を旋回するように流れる電流の旋回方向と同方向に電流が流れる。 A current flows through at least a portion of the conductor layer 3D in the same direction as the swirling direction of the current that flows around the opening pattern CO1 of the conductor layer 3C1. Further, a current flows through at least a portion of the conductive layer 3E in the same direction as the direction of the current flowing around the opening pattern CO2 of the conductive layer 3C2.
 導電体層3C1と導電体層3C2とは半導体基板1の面に沿った方向(図1(A)、図1(B)に示す例ではX方向)に隣接していて、導電体層3C1と導電体層3C2とは互いに重ならぬように並置されている。 The conductive layer 3C1 and the conductive layer 3C2 are adjacent to each other in the direction along the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 (the X direction in the examples shown in FIGS. 1(A) and 1(B)), and the conductive layer 3C1 and The conductor layer 3C2 is arranged in parallel with the conductor layer 3C2 so as not to overlap with each other.
 導電体層3Dの第1端は導電体層3C1の第1端に対して層間接続導体6C1を介して導通し、導電体層3Eの第1端は導電体層3C2の第1端に対して層間接続導体6C2を介して導通する。また、導電体層3Dの第2端は導電体層3Aに対して層間接続導体6Aを介して導通し、導電体層3Eの第2端は導電体層3Bに対して層間接続導体6Bを介して導通する。 The first end of the conductor layer 3D is electrically connected to the first end of the conductor layer 3C1 via the interlayer connection conductor 6C1, and the first end of the conductor layer 3E is electrically connected to the first end of the conductor layer 3C2. Conductivity is established via the interlayer connection conductor 6C2. Further, the second end of the conductor layer 3D is electrically connected to the conductor layer 3A via the interlayer connection conductor 6A, and the second end of the conductor layer 3E is electrically connected to the conductor layer 3B via the interlayer connection conductor 6B. conduction.
 本実施形態では、導電体層3C1と導電体層3C2とは連続しているので、上述の導電体層3C1の第2端及び導電体層3C2の第2端は形式的仮想的な端部であり、導電体層3C1の第1端及び導電体層3C2の第1端は、連続している端部とは異なるもう一方の端部をそれぞれ指す。導電体層3C1及び導電体層3C2への通電時、開口パターンCO1の周囲に流れる電流方向と開口パターンCO2の周囲に流れる電流方向とは互いに逆方向である。 In this embodiment, since the conductor layer 3C1 and the conductor layer 3C2 are continuous, the second end of the conductor layer 3C1 and the second end of the conductor layer 3C2 described above are formal virtual ends. The first end of the conductor layer 3C1 and the first end of the conductor layer 3C2 respectively refer to the other end different from the continuous end. When the conductor layer 3C1 and the conductor layer 3C2 are energized, the direction of the current flowing around the opening pattern CO1 and the direction of the current flowing around the opening pattern CO2 are opposite to each other.
 図2(A)は、第1導電体層の開口パターンCO1及び第2導電体層の開口パターンCO2の周囲に電流が流れることによって生じる磁界の様子を示す図である。図2(B)は比較例としての導電体層の開口パターンCOの周囲に電流が流れることによって生じる磁界の様子を示す図である。図2(B)に示す比較例としての導電体層は単一のスパイラル状又は単一のループ状の導電体層である。 FIG. 2(A) is a diagram showing a state of a magnetic field generated when a current flows around the opening pattern CO1 of the first conductive layer and the opening pattern CO2 of the second conductive layer. FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a magnetic field generated when a current flows around an opening pattern CO of a conductive layer as a comparative example. The conductor layer as a comparative example shown in FIG. 2(B) is a single spiral conductor layer or a single loop conductor layer.
 図2(A)、図2(B)においてドット記号及びクロス記号は電流の方向を示し、破線は磁束を示す。図2(B)に示す比較例では、高周波磁界によって半導体基板1に渦電流が誘導されてしまう。これに対し、図2(A)に示す本実施形態では、導電体層の開口のうち互いに隣接する開口パターンの周囲に電流が流れることにより生じる磁界が打ち消し合わないので、小型でありながらインダクタンスの高いインダクタが得られる。また、開口パターンCO1及び開口パターンCO2を通る磁束は、図2(A)で示すように、導電体層3C1及び導電体層3C2の隣接部の周囲を囲むため、磁束は半導体基板1から遠ざかり、半導体基板1に生じる渦電流が抑制されるので、低ESRのインダクタが得られる。 In FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B), dot symbols and cross symbols indicate the direction of current, and broken lines indicate magnetic flux. In the comparative example shown in FIG. 2(B), eddy currents are induced in the semiconductor substrate 1 by the high frequency magnetic field. In contrast, in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, the magnetic fields generated by current flowing around adjacent opening patterns of the openings in the conductive layer do not cancel each other out, so the inductance is small even though it is small. A high inductor can be obtained. Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the magnetic flux passing through the opening pattern CO1 and the opening pattern CO2 surrounds the adjacent portions of the conductive layer 3C1 and the conductive layer 3C2, so the magnetic flux moves away from the semiconductor substrate 1. Since eddy currents generated in the semiconductor substrate 1 are suppressed, an inductor with low ESR can be obtained.
 さらに、パッド電極9A,9Bと、コイルを形成する導電体層3C1,3C2と、が直線上に配置されていることで、導電体層3C1,3C2とパッド電極9A,9Bとを接続する導電体層3D,3Eをもコイルの一部として用いることができ、小型ながら高いインダクタンス値が得られる。 Further, since the pad electrodes 9A, 9B and the conductor layers 3C1, 3C2 forming the coil are arranged on a straight line, the conductor layers 3C1, 3C2 and the pad electrodes 9A, 9B are connected to each other. Layers 3D and 3E can also be used as part of the coil, and a high inductance value can be obtained despite the small size.

 第2の実施形態では、インダクタを構成する導電体層の構成が第1の実施形態で示した例とは異なる電子部品について例示する。
《Second embodiment》
The second embodiment will exemplify an electronic component in which the structure of the conductor layer constituting the inductor is different from the example shown in the first embodiment.
 図3(A)は第2の実施形態に係る電子部品102の平面図であり、図3(B)は図3(A)におけるB-B部分での断面図である。ただし、図3(A)は、保護膜10の形成前の状態での平面図である。 FIG. 3(A) is a plan view of the electronic component 102 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 3(B) is a sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 3(A). However, FIG. 3A is a plan view in a state before the protective film 10 is formed.
 この電子部品102は、半導体基板1と、この半導体基板1上に形成された絶縁体層2と、絶縁体層2に形成された導電体層3A,3B,3C1,3C2,3D,3Eと、導電体層3C1と導電体層3Dとを層間接続する層間接続導体6C1と、導電体層3C2と導電体層3Eとを層間接続する層間接続導体6C2と、導電体層3Aと導電体層3Dとを層間接続する層間接続導体6Aと、導電体層3Bと導電体層3Eとを層間接続する層間接続導体6Bと、導電体層3A,3B上に形成されたパッド電極9A,9Bと、半導体基板1の上面側に形成された保護膜10と、を備える。 This electronic component 102 includes a semiconductor substrate 1, an insulator layer 2 formed on the semiconductor substrate 1, and conductor layers 3A, 3B, 3C1, 3C2, 3D, and 3E formed on the insulator layer 2. An interlayer connection conductor 6C1 that connects the conductor layer 3C1 and the conductor layer 3D, an interlayer connection conductor 6C2 that connects the conductor layer 3C2 and the conductor layer 3E, and the conductor layer 3A and the conductor layer 3D. an interlayer connection conductor 6A for interlayer connection between the conductor layers 3B and 3E; an interlayer connection conductor 6B for interlayer connection between the conductor layers 3B and 3E; pad electrodes 9A and 9B formed on the conductor layers 3A and 3B; 1, and a protective film 10 formed on the upper surface side of the device.
 導電体層3C1は、開口パターンCO1を形成するスパイラル状の第1導電体層を構成していて、導電体層3C2は、開口パターンCO2を形成するスパイラル状の第2導電体層を構成している。また、導電体層3D,3Eはパターンが直線的な配線である第3導電体層を構成している。 The conductor layer 3C1 constitutes a spiral-shaped first conductor layer forming an opening pattern CO1, and the conductor layer 3C2 constitutes a spiral-shaped second conductor layer forming an opening pattern CO2. There is. Further, the conductor layers 3D and 3E constitute a third conductor layer whose pattern is a linear wiring.
 図1(B)に示した電子部品101では、導電体層3D,3Eが半導体基板1の表面に形成されていたが、図3(B)に示す例では導電体層3D,3Eは絶縁体層2の層内に形成されている。つまり、導電体層3D,3Eは半導体基板1から絶縁された位置に形成されている。 In the electronic component 101 shown in FIG. 1B, the conductor layers 3D and 3E are formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, but in the example shown in FIG. 3B, the conductor layers 3D and 3E are made of insulators. It is formed within the layer of layer 2. That is, the conductor layers 3D and 3E are formed at positions insulated from the semiconductor substrate 1.
 本実施形態で示すように、第3導電体層3D,3Eは半導体基板1から離れた位置に配置されてもよい。そのことにより、半導体基板1に誘導される渦電流がより抑制されて、インダクタのESRをより低減できる。また、半導体基板1のドーピング濃度に依らず低ESRのインダクタが得られるため、半導体基板を用いた様々な機能を付加することができる。 As shown in this embodiment, the third conductor layers 3D and 3E may be arranged at a position away from the semiconductor substrate 1. As a result, the eddy current induced in the semiconductor substrate 1 is further suppressed, and the ESR of the inductor can be further reduced. Further, since an inductor with low ESR can be obtained regardless of the doping concentration of the semiconductor substrate 1, various functions can be added using the semiconductor substrate.

 導電体層3K、誘電体層4、半導体基板1、導体部7及び下面電極8はキャパシタを構成する。ここで、導電体層3Kはキャパシタの第1の電極であり、半導体基板1、導体部7及び下面電極8はキャパシタの第2の電極である。 The conductor layer 3K, dielectric layer 4, semiconductor substrate 1, conductor portion 7, and bottom electrode 8 constitute a capacitor. Here, the conductor layer 3K is the first electrode of the capacitor, and the semiconductor substrate 1, the conductor portion 7, and the lower surface electrode 8 are the second electrodes of the capacitor.
 以上に示したとおり、半導体基板1におけるキャパシタ領域ZCに、インダクタ領域ZLに比較して高い割合で、半導体基板1より高導電率の導体部7が配置されている。このことにより、半導体基板1全体の導電率が低くなることで、導電体層3A,3Bによるインダクタパターンが発生する高周波磁界による半導体基板1に誘導される渦電流が抑制されてQ値の高いインダクタが得られる。また、キャパシタ領域ZCのキャパシタ電極の導電率を高めることができ、Q値の高いキャパシタが得られる。 As shown above, the conductor portions 7 having higher conductivity than the semiconductor substrate 1 are arranged in the capacitor region ZC in the semiconductor substrate 1 at a higher rate than in the inductor region ZL. As a result, the conductivity of the entire semiconductor substrate 1 is lowered, and the eddy current induced in the semiconductor substrate 1 due to the high frequency magnetic field generated by the inductor pattern by the conductor layers 3A and 3B is suppressed, resulting in an inductor with a high Q value. is obtained. Further, the conductivity of the capacitor electrode in the capacitor region ZC can be increased, and a capacitor with a high Q value can be obtained.
