Selectively enhancing the resonance frequency and quality factory of on-chip capacitors

The technology described herein is directed towards a capacitor with a modified design (relative to standard capacitors), in which a first conductor is coupled to a second conductor via a distributed array of conducting interconnects through a dielectric that separates the conductors. The array of interconnects facilitates electrical surface current flow between the first conductor and the second conductor, and determines the self-resonant frequency of the capacitor. The array (or enlarged area) of conducting interconnects, not present in standard capacitors, results in capacitors with larger self-resonant frequency, e.g., having a substantially stable capacitance over a range of high radio frequencies, including millimeter wave frequencies. This further provides an improved quality factor. The improvements resulting from the technology described herein facilitate more optimal surface current density. The modified capacitor provides benefits in various circuits, e.g., in an impedance or a millimeter wave frequency phase shifter for antenna elements.

Feedthrough capacitor not packaged by glass and applicable to airtight device

A feedthrough capacitor not packaged by glass and applicable to an airtight device includes a disk-like ceramic capacitor body (1) of a multilayer laminated structure. A Kovar tube (3) is disposed in an inner hole (2) of the disk-like ceramic capacitor body (1), a conductive pin (4) penetrates through an inner hole (2) of the Kovar tube (3), and the conductive pin (4) and the Kovar tube (3) as well as the Kovar tube (3) and the disk-like ceramic capacitor body (1) are soldered and fixed with gold-tin alloy solder. The distance between the conductive pin (4) and the inner hole (2) of the disk-like ceramic capacitor body (1) is shortened by adding the Kovar tube (3) between the conductive pin (4) and the disk-like ceramic capacitor body (1), so that the amount of the gold-tin alloy solder used in a soldering process is effectively reduced. Because the amount of the gold-tin alloy solder used is reduced, the influence of thermal expansion and contraction of the gold-tin alloy solder on a ceramic capacitor can be greatly relieved, thereby improving the quality of the ceramic capacitor. Moreover, the entire product can be easily cleaned, with no flux left, and dense solder joints are formed to meet specific airtightness requirements.

Deep trench structure for a capacitive device

A deep trench structure may be formed between electrodes of a capacitive device. The deep trench structure may be formed to a depth, a width, and / or an aspect ratio that increases the volume of the deep trench structure relative to a trench structure formed using a metal etch-stop layer. Thus, the deep trench structure is capable of being filled with a greater amount of dielectric material, which increases the capacitance value of the capacitive device. Moreover, the parasitic capacitance of the capacitive device may be decreased by omitting the metal etch-stop layer. Accordingly, the deep trench structure (and the omission of the metal etch-stop layer) may increase the sensitivity of the capacitive device, may increase the humidity-sensing performance of the capacitive device, and / or may increase the performance of devices and / or integrated circuits in which the capacitive device is included.
