Abstract

The invention relates to a radio frequency filter capable of single chip integration and a manufacture method thereof. The radio frequency filter is characterized in that the radio frequency filter is integrated on a CMOS silicon substrate; inductor and capacitor element structures are suspended, and are embedded into the surface of a silicon chip. The method comprises the following steps that: a conductive metal layer deposited on the surface of the silicon chip is used as a lower metal electrode plate of a metal-insulating layer-metal capacitor; a growth medium layer membrane is used as an insulating medium layer of the MIM capacitor; then, an upper metal electrode plate of the MIM capacitor and an upper lead wire of an embedded screw inductor are formed while plating; a V-shaped or inverted stepped groove is formed by anisotropic etching, and is used for making a lower lead wire of the inductor and determining the opening for suspended releasing the MIM capacitor; the lower lead wire of the inductor is made in the groove of the inductor region; and finally, the inductor structure and the MIM capacitor are released by isotropic etching to be suspended. By the low temperature process, the radio frequency filter is manufactured on a common low resistance silicon chip, and the whole microprocessing manufacture process is compatible with CMOS integration circuit process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a monolithically integrated radio frequency filter and a method of micromachining. The radio frequency filter adopts a low-temperature process and is compatible with a standard CMOS process to realize the integration of radio frequency circuits on the same silicon chip. . The invention belongs to the application field of radio frequency micromechanical devices and circuit technology. Background technique [0002] With the application of radio frequency communication technology more and more widely, further integration and miniaturization of radio frequency front-end circuits are required. This trend makes many research work focus on a key field of radio frequency circuit integration - the integration and miniaturization of radio frequency filters. chemical research. Combined with silicon micromachining technology, the performance of passive devices and passive circuit networks on standard CMOS (complementary metal oxi...
