A kind of method for the surface area for increasing inductance
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, it is more particularly related to a kind of surface area for increasing inductance
Method.
Background technology
Kelvin effect is also known as " kelvin effect ".Specifically, as alternating current (alternatingelectric
Current, AC) when passing through conductor, because induction effect causes CURRENT DISTRIBUTION on cross-sectional area of conductor uneven, nearer conductive surface electricity
Current density is bigger;This phenomenon claims " Kelvin effect ".Kelvin effect increases the effective resistance of conductor.When the very high electric current of frequency
When passing through wire, it is believed that electric current is only flowed through in one layer very thin in conductive line surfaces, and this section for being equivalent to wire reduces,
Resistance increases.
The current density that skin depth refers under this depth is the 1/e of surface current density, that is, 0.368 times,
Increase after electric current is not without more than twice of skin depth wire thickness it is limited to increase Q values but be not it is useless,
During 1GHz, Al skin depth is 2.8um.
For the alternating current in conductor, the current density at conductive surface is more than showing for conductor current density
As.With the raising of power frequency, Kelvin effect increases the resistance of conductor, and inductance reduces.
Prior art proposes a kind of method for being called Litz coilings, and this method can effectively improve the Q values of inductance(Especially
It is at high frequencies), prior art realize the method for Litz coilings be using photoetching and etching method realize multiply around

Embodiment
In order that present disclosure is more clear and understandable, with reference to specific embodiments and the drawings in the present invention
Appearance is described in detail.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the flow chart of the method for the surface area of increase inductance according to embodiments of the present invention.
Specifically, as shown in figure 1, the method for the surface area of increase inductance according to embodiments of the present invention includes:
First step S1:The silicon chip with first area and second area is provided, wherein first area includes the first oxidation
The lamination of the oxide skin(coating) 10 of nitride layer 100 and second, second area include the first oxide skin(coating) 100, intermediate metal layer 200 and second
The lamination of oxide skin(coating) 10, as shown in fig. 3 in cross section, first area is belonged on the left of dotted line, belongs to second area on the right side of dotted line;
Wherein, for example, the first oxide skin(coating) 100 and the second oxide skin(coating) 10 are silicon dioxide layers.
Second step S2:In the second area while etched circuit fairlead 21, the second oxide in first area
Strip wire lead slot 20 is etched in layer 10.
Wherein, first area does not have intermediate metal layer 200 to be used as etching barrier layer, and strip wire lead slot 20 can enter described
First oxide skin(coating) 100;The intermediate metal layer 200 as etching barrier layer in second area be present, circuit lead hole 21 is in
Between metal level 200 stop, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, wherein Fig. 2 is top view, and Fig. 3 is sectional view;
