Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic component that includes a semiconductor substrate and is configured by providing a capacitor, an inductor, etc. on the semiconductor substrate.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a high frequency integrated circuit device in which passive devices such as inductors and capacitors are formed on an insulator layer stacked on a semiconductor substrate. All of the capacitors included in this high-frequency integrated circuit device have a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) structure, and their electrodes are arranged on the surface of the stacked insulator layer with respect to the semiconductor substrate.
- MIM metal-insulator-metal
- Patent Document 2 discloses a semiconductor device including a capacitor configured by laminating a dielectric layer and an electrode layer on a semiconductor substrate.
- One electrode of the capacitor is located on the stacked surface of the insulator layer relative to the semiconductor substrate, and the other electrode is located on the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate. Therefore, if the substrate on which the semiconductor device is mounted is a conductor at ground potential, the capacitor and the ground are directly electrically connected, and no wiring is required to connect them.
- a capacitor having such a structure is herein referred to as a "vertical capacitor" for convenience.
- such a high frequency integrated circuit device when configuring a power amplifier for a communication device, it is assumed that the power amplifier is placed on a copper foil surface at ground potential formed on a circuit board. . Further, such a high frequency integrated circuit device includes a capacitor inserted between the signal line and ground. When this capacitor is configured using the above-mentioned MIM, it is necessary to connect one electrode of the capacitor to the ground using a wiring structure such as a wire. In this case, parasitic impedance due to the wiring structure is electrically inserted between the capacitor and the ground, which causes deterioration of electrical characteristics such as the Q value of the capacitor.
- Patent Document 2 With a vertical capacitor as shown in Patent Document 2, the problem of deterioration of electrical circuit characteristics due to the wiring structure described above does not occur.
- Patent Document 1 attempts have been made to form a vertical capacitor as well as a passive device such as an inductor (hereinafter referred to as a "pattern inductor") using a conductor pattern on an insulator layer stacked on a semiconductor substrate. Then, as described below, the electrical characteristics such as the Q value of the inductor deteriorate.
- a passive device such as an inductor (hereinafter referred to as a "pattern inductor")
- ESR equivalent series resistance
- the equivalent series resistance of a vertical capacitor is determined by the conductivity of the internal wiring and semiconductor substrate, which are the paths for current flowing through the capacitor.
- a semiconductor substrate has lower conductivity than internal wiring, and has a longer current path. Therefore, the conductivity of the semiconductor substrate tends to be the main factor that increases the equivalent series resistance of the vertical capacitor.
- To lower the equivalent series resistance of a vertical capacitor it is necessary to increase the conductivity of the semiconductor substrate.
- the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of a patterned inductor is also determined by the conductivity of the conductor pattern including internal wiring and the semiconductor substrate. That is, since the conductor pattern is part of the current path of the inductor, the equivalent series resistance of the pattern inductor is directly affected by the conductivity of the conductor pattern.
- An object of the present invention is to form an inductor using a wiring pattern on an insulator layer laminated on a semiconductor substrate and also to form a vertical capacitor, an electronic component including an inductor with a high Q value and a capacitor with a high Q value. and to provide a circuit device.
- a pattern inductor When a pattern inductor operates as an inductor, it generates a high-frequency magnetic field around it, and this high-frequency magnetic field induces eddy currents in conductors near the pattern inductor, and these eddy currents generate Joule heat. .
- This Joule heat is generally called eddy current loss, and increases as the conductivity of the conductor through which the eddy current flows increases. This eddy current loss appears as equivalent series resistance in terms of the electrical characteristics of the inductor.
- the "semiconductor substrate” refers to the above-mentioned “conductor near the inductor.” Therefore, in order to lower the equivalent series resistance of the patterned inductor, it is necessary to lower the conductivity of the semiconductor substrate.
- the equivalent series resistance of the vertical capacitor and patterned inductor is affected by the conductivity of the silicon substrate, there is a trade-off relationship between them. For example, if the conductivity of the silicon substrate is increased to improve the Q value of a vertical capacitor, the Q value of the patterned inductor will deteriorate; if the conductivity of the silicon substrate is decreased to improve the Q value of the patterned inductor, The Q value of the vertical capacitor deteriorates.
