Problems solved by technology

However, the transformer in the integrated circuit often occupies a large amount of chip area. Therefore, how to reduce the area of ​​the transformer in the integrated circuit while maintaining the characteristics of the components (such as coupling coefficient (coupling coefficient, K)) has become an important issue. topic
[0003] In particular, the symmetry of the figure-eight integrated transformer and the crossing structure located in the central area increase the design difficulty of the figure-eight integrated transformer

Abstract

An integrated transformer is provided. The integrated transformer includes a first inductor and second inductors. The first inductor includes a first winding having a first outer turn and a second winding having a second outer turn. The second inductor includes a third winding having a third outer turn and a fourth winding having a fourth outer turn. The first and third outer turns substantially overlap, and the second and fourth outer turns substantially overlap. The first and second outer turns are connected to each other through a first segment and a second segment that together form a crossing structure, and the third and fourth outer turns are connected to each other through a third segment and a fourth segment that together form a crossing structure. The first and third segments arein the first metal layer, while the second and fourth segments are in the second metal layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor components, and more particularly to integrated transformers. Background technique [0002] Transformer is an important component used in radio frequency integrated circuits to realize single-ended to differential signal conversion, signal coupling, impedance matching and other functions. With the development of integrated circuits to System on Chip (SoC), integrated transformers have become Gradually replace traditional discrete components, and are widely used in radio frequency integrated circuits. However, the transformer in the integrated circuit often occupies a large amount of chip area. Therefore, how to reduce the area of ​​the transformer in the integrated circuit while maintaining the characteristics of the components (such as coupling coefficient (coupling coefficient, K)) has become an important issue. topic. [0003] In particular, the symmetry of the figure-eight integrated transformer and ...
