[0002] With the development of communication technologies, various technologies have put forward higher requirements for the communication capacity, integration, etc. of communication systems. The traditional communication frequency bands cannot meet the requirements of higher transmission rates, and the communication frequency bands of various communication technologies have begun to expand towards millimeter waves. MIM capacitors have multiple functions such as DC blocking, impedance matching, and circuit coupling, and play a crucial role in millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits.

[0003] However, MIM capacitors no longer exhibit pure capacitive characteristics at high frequencies and have serious parasitic effects. An accurate circuit model plays a key role in the successful design of the circuit. Traditional MIM capacitor modeling usually adopts a "Π" type network model (see Figure 2 , which consists of three parts A, B, and C) or a physical-based model (see Figure 3 ). The "Π" type network model is generally applied to the capacitance modeling below 50 GHz and cannot accurately reflect the operating state of MIM capacitors in a wide frequency band; the physical-based model does not consider the skin effect of the capacitor metal plates at high frequencies, thus limiting the accuracy of the existing model; neither of them can accurately characterize the characteristics of MIM capacitors in the millimeter-wave medium and high frequency bands.

[0056] S301, establish a MIM capacitor model with a preset size;

[0057] Specifically, according to Figure 1 the MIM capacitor structure shown, in the electromagnetic simulation software, construct the grounding metal 101, the substrate 102, the lower plate 103, the dielectric layer 104, and the upper plate 105.

[0059] Specifically, after establishing a MIM capacitor model with preset dimensions in the simulation software, set the corresponding simulation conditions, and obtain the S-parameters of the MIM capacitor through electromagnetic simulation.

[0062] Specifically, the parameter values of each component in the equivalent circuit model of the double-T MIM capacitor ultimately determine the S-parameters of the equivalent circuit model. Take the S-parameter values of the MIM capacitor obtained by electromagnetic simulation as the expected values of the equivalent circuit model, and calculate the parameter values of each component in the equivalent circuit model of the MIM capacitor through the calculation formula, so as to complete the extraction of the equivalent circuit parameters of the MIM capacitor.

[0063] The method for extracting the parameters of the equivalent circuit model of a MIM capacitor provided by the present invention is not only applicable to the MIM capacitor size corresponding to this embodiment, but also can change the overlapping size of the upper and lower metal plates of the MIM capacitor (for example, 10 microns - 50 microns). By executing the same parameter acquisition process as above, obtain the relationship between the parameter values of the equivalent circuit models of MIM capacitors with different sizes and the MIM capacitor size, and through a data fitting tool, further obtain the parameter values of the equivalent circuit models of MIM capacitors with various sizes under this simulation condition. The parameter acquisition method adopted in this embodiment is simple and reliable, which greatly facilitates the MMIC circuit design.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, in S304, calculating the parameter values of each component according to the S-parameters of the MIM capacitor and the calculation formula includes the following steps:

[0065] S401, convert the S-parameters of the MIM capacitor into Z-parameters;

[0068] In S404, calculate the Z parameters of partI and the Z parameters of partII according to the Z parameters.

[0069] In S405, calculate the parameters of each component according to the Z parameters of partI, the Z parameters of partII, and the calculation formula.

[0070] Specifically, still referring to Figure 4 , first divide the equivalent circuit model into a first module 201, a second module 202, a third module 203, a fourth module 204, a fifth module 205, and a sixth module 206. The first module 201, the second module 202, and the third module 203 form partI, and the fourth module 204, the fifth module 205, and the sixth module 206 form partII. Both partI and partII are T-shaped networks. According to the Z-parameter calculation formula of the T-shaped network, the parameter values of each component in the equivalent circuit can be obtained; convert the S parameters into Z parameters according to the parameter conversion formula. After obtaining the Z parameters, according to

Here, Z represents the Z parameters of the equivalent circuit model, A1 is the Z parameters of the first module 201, B1 is the Z parameters of the second module 202, C1 is the Z parameters of the third module 203, A2 is the Z parameters of the fourth module 204, B2 is the Z parameters of the fifth module 205, and C2 is the Z parameters of the sixth module 206. The calculation formula is:

[0073] A1 = jωL s1

[0074]

[0075]

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] C2 = jωL s2

[0079]

[0080] where C eff is the effective capacitance, R s is the low-frequency parasitic resistance, R sk is the high-frequency parasitic resistance, L sk is the high-frequency parasitic inductance, L s1 is the first series inductance, L s2 is the second series inductance, C ox1 is the first dielectric capacitance, C ox2 is the second dielectric capacitance, R si1 is the first substrate parasitic resistance, R si2 is the second substrate parasitic resistance, C si1 is the sum of the first substrate parasitic capacitances, C si2 is the second substrate parasitic capacitance, ε0 is the permittivity of free space, ε r is the permittivity of the dielectric layer of the MIM capacitor, w is the width of the overlapping area of the upper and lower metal plates of the MIM capacitor, l is the length of the overlapping area of the upper and lower metal plates of the MIM capacitor, and d is the distance between the upper and lower metal plates of the MIM capacitor. The parameter values of each component in the equivalent circuit model can be obtained by calculation according to the calculation formula.

[0083] S502, adjusting the parameter values of each component according to the fitting result of the equivalent circuit model and the S-parameters of the MIM capacitor obtained by electromagnetic simulation, so that the error between the model fitting result and the electromagnetic simulation result reaches a preset value.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, an equivalent circuit model is built using the ADS simulation system to obtain the S-parameter simulation results of the model. The S-parameter simulation results of the MIM capacitor simulated using 3D simulation software are used as the expected values. The parameter optimization algorithm (gradient algorithm) built into the ADS simulation system is used to adjust and optimize the parameter values of each component, so that the model error reaches the preset range. The specific error range can be set according to the actual model accuracy requirements.

[0085] Using the method of this embodiment to model and simulate a square MIM capacitor with a side length of 40 microns, and extract the parameter values of each component of the equivalent model. The electromagnetic simulation results of the MIM capacitor and the simulation results of the equivalent circuit model are as Figures 6 - 8 shown, where Figure 6 is the result diagram of the electromagnetic simulation S-parameters and the equivalent circuit simulation S-parameters of the MIM capacitor. Figure 7 is the result diagram of the electromagnetic simulation Q-value and the equivalent circuit simulation Q-value of the MIM capacitor. Figure 8 is the result diagram of the electromagnetic simulation effective capacitance value and the equivalent circuit simulation effective capacitance value of the MIM capacitor. It can be seen from this that the double-T type equivalent circuit model proposed by the present invention has a good fitting accuracy in the range of 0.1 - 110 GHz, and can accurately characterize the electrical performance of the MIM capacitor at high frequencies, providing convenience for the design of millimeter-wave integrated circuits.
