[0036] In one embodiment, a radio frequency switch structure is provided, comprising:

[0037] Figure 1 The signal input end IN, the signal output end OUT and the transistor stack shown in the figure; wherein the transistor stack comprises N transistors M1, M2, …, MN connected in series, N>1, the signal input end IN is connected with the first end of the first transistor M1 of the transistor stack, the second end of the first transistor M1 is connected with the first end of the second transistor M2, and so on, the second end of the i-1 transistor is connected with the first end of the i transistor, wherein 2<i≤N; the Nth transistor MN of the transistor stack is connected with the signal output end OUT.

[0038] Specifically, the radio frequency switch circuit 22 comprises a radio frequency input end IN, a radio frequency output end Out and a transistor stack; the transistor stack comprises N transistors connected in series between the radio frequency input end IN and the radio frequency output end Out; in this example, the transistors are sequentially named as the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, …, the n-th transistor Mn, the n+1-th transistor Mn+1, …, the Nth transistor MN from the radio frequency input end IN to the radio frequency output end Out. The first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, …, the n-th transistor Mn, the n+1-th transistor Mn+1, …, the Nth transistor MN are connected in series. Wherein, the series connection of the transistors here means that the source S and the drain D of the adjacent transistors are connected. For example, in this example, the drain D of the first transistor M1 is the input end In, the drain D of the second transistor M2 is connected with the source S of the first transistor, the drain D of the third transistor M3 is connected with the source S of the second transistor M2, …, and so on, the drain D of the Nth transistor MN is connected with the source S of the N-1th transistor MN-1; wherein the source S of the Nth transistor MN is the output end Out. Of course, according to the different types of transistors, conversely, the source of the first transistor M1 is the input end In, the source S of the second transistor M2 is connected with the drain D of the first transistor M1, the source S of the third transistor M3 is connected with the drain D of the second transistor M2, …, and so on, the source S of the Nth transistor MN is connected with the drain D of the N-1th transistor MN-1; wherein the drain D of the Nth transistor MN is also possible as the output end Out.

[0039] Each transistor of the transistor stack is implemented as an interdigital configuration device, and the total width of each transistor is calculated according to the following formula:

[0040] W = FW*F*M

[0041] Wherein, W is the total width of the transistor, FW is the width of the gate interdigital, F is the number of gate interdigital, and M is the number of parallel interdigital tubes.

[0042] Each of the transistors is implemented as an interdigital configuration device, each of the transistors includes M gate interdigital, M>1;Wherein, in the polysilicon layer, the polysilicon region where at least one preset gate interdigital in the transistor is located and the corresponding first region in the metal layer are connected by the first connecting structure.

[0043] Referring to Figure 2 The transistor structure is shown, each transistor includes a plurality of interdigital tubes. For example: the transistor on the right side of the figure is a first interdigital tube (for example: NMOS tube), and the transistor on the left side is a second interdigital tube (for example: PMOS tube). Each interdigital tube includes gate interdigital, source interdigital and drain interdigital. Wherein, the gate interdigital of the first interdigital tube is arranged in the polysilicon layer 1. In Figure 2 The polysilicon region 101 where at least one preset gate interdigital in the transistor is located and the corresponding first region 201 in the metal layer 2 are connected by the first connecting structure 3 in the polysilicon layer 1 where the gate interdigital is located. In this embodiment, only Figure 2 The connection relationship between the polysilicon region 101 where one gate interdigital is located and the corresponding first region 201 in the metal layer 2 is shown schematically, and the connection relationship between the polysilicon region where other gate interdigital in the transistor is located and the corresponding first region 201 in the metal layer can also be connected by the first connecting structure 3.

[0044] Wherein, the polysilicon region 101 is arranged in the polysilicon layer 1, and the first region is arranged in the adjacent metal layer. In this example, the polysilicon layer 1 and the first region 201 are arranged on the adjacent two layers of the wiring layer, the adjacent two layers of the wiring layer are arranged in parallel, and the projection of the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201 in the longitudinal direction at least partially overlaps, so that the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201 can be connected by the first connecting structure 3.

[0045] In the embodiment, the bias control voltage Vg output by the bias voltage terminal is loaded on at least one gate interdigital electrode of the transistor through the polysilicon layer 1. Moreover, since the square resistance of the polysilicon layer 1 is Z1, the square resistance of the metal layer 2 is Z2, and the square resistance of the polysilicon layer 1 is much smaller than the square resistance of the metal layer 2, the present application connects the polysilicon region 101 of the polysilicon layer 1 and the first region 201 of the metal layer 2 through the first connection structure 3 respectively. After the polysilicon region 101 of the polysilicon layer 1 and the first region of the metal layer 2 are connected through the first connection structure 3, the actual equivalent resistance on the preset gate interdigital electrode is equivalent to the parallel value of the square resistance Z1 and the square resistance Z2, that is, the actual equivalent resistance on the preset gate interdigital electrode is:

[0046] Z0=(Z1*Z2) / (Z1+Z2)

[0047] wherein Z0 is the actual equivalent resistance on the preset gate interdigital electrode, Z1 is the square resistance (equivalent resistance) of the polysilicon layer 1, Z2 is the square resistance (equivalent resistance) of the metal layer 2, and Z2

[0048] Therefore, after one or several preset gate interdigital electrodes in the transistor are connected through the first connection structure between the polysilicon region and the corresponding first region in the metal layer, the actual equivalent resistance on the preset gate interdigital electrode is reduced, thereby solving the problem that the voltage drop of different gate interdigital electrodes in the transistor is too large due to the too large square resistance of the polysilicon layer (Poly layer) where the gate interdigital electrodes of the transistor are located, and effectively improving the voltage resistance of the transistor to improve the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure.

[0049] In the embodiment, the radio frequency switch structure includes a signal input terminal, a signal output terminal and a transistor stack; the transistor stack includes N transistors connected in series, N>1, the signal input terminal is connected with the first transistor of the transistor stack, and the signal output terminal is connected with the Nth transistor of the transistor stack; each transistor is realized as an interdigital device, and each transistor includes M gate interdigital electrodes, M>1; in the polysilicon layer, at least one preset gate interdigital electrode in each transistor is connected through a first connection structure between the polysilicon region and the corresponding first region in the metal layer; by connecting one or several preset gate interdigital electrodes in the transistor through the first connection structure to the preset first region in the adjacent metal layer, the actual resistance on the preset gate interdigital electrode in the transistor is much smaller than the square resistance of the polysilicon region, thereby avoiding the problem that the voltage drop of different gate interdigital electrodes in the transistor is too large due to the too large square resistance of the polysilicon layer (Poly layer) where the gate interdigital electrodes of the transistor are located, and effectively improving the voltage resistance of the transistor to improve the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure

[0050] The projection of the polysilicon region and the first region in the longitudinal direction is at least partially overlapped.

[0051] In an example, Figure 2 The projection of the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201 in the longitudinal direction is in an all or partial overlapping relationship. As other embodiments, the first region 201 can be arranged in other regions of the metal layer 2 surface, so that the projection of the polysilicon region 101 and the first region in the longitudinal direction is at least partially overlapped, for example, the first region 201 is arranged in the region of the metal layer 2 surface that is adjacent to the polysilicon region 101. Figure 2 In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first region 201 is arranged in the region of the metal layer 2 surface that is adjacent to the polysilicon region 101. The first connection structure 3 is arranged to connect the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201. The first region 201 can be arranged in other regions of the metal layer 2 surface, so that the projection of the polysilicon region 101 and the first region in the longitudinal direction is at least partially overlapped. For example, the first region 201 is arranged in the region of the metal layer 2 surface that is adjacent to the polysilicon region 101.

[0052] The metal layer where the first region is arranged is an adjacent upper layer of the polysilicon layer where the polysilicon region is arranged, or the metal layer where the first region is arranged is an adjacent lower layer of the polysilicon layer where the polysilicon region is arranged.

[0053] As an example, the metal layer where the first region is arranged is an adjacent upper layer of the polysilicon layer where the polysilicon region is arranged, and the projection of the polysilicon region and the first region in the longitudinal direction is at least partially overlapped, so that the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201 can be connected through the first connection structure 3, thereby reducing the actual equivalent resistance on the preset gate finger, thereby solving the problem of excessive voltage drop in different gate fingers in the transistor due to excessive sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer (Poly layer) where the gate finger of the transistor is arranged, thereby effectively improving the voltage resistance of the transistor, and improving the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure.

[0054] As an example, the metal layer where the first region is arranged is an adjacent lower layer of the polysilicon layer where the polysilicon region is arranged, and the projection of the polysilicon region and the first region in the longitudinal direction is at least partially overlapped, so that the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201 can be connected through the first connection structure 3, thereby reducing the actual equivalent resistance on the preset gate finger, thereby solving the problem of excessive voltage drop in different gate fingers in the transistor due to excessive sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer (Poly layer) where the gate finger of the transistor is arranged, thereby effectively improving the voltage resistance of the transistor, and improving the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure.

[0055] In this example, the gap between the polysilicon layer (Poly layer) where the gate finger is arranged and the metal layer where the first region is arranged can be filled with air medium or insulating medium, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0056] In an example, in order to realize the connection between the polysilicon region 101 and the first region 201, a first via (not shown in the figure) is opened on the polysilicon layer 1, a second via (not shown in the figure) is opened on the metal layer 2, and the first via is connected to the second via through the first connection structure 3. Optionally, the first connection structure can be a metal connecting column, one end of which is connected to the first via, and the other end of which is connected to the second via.

[0057] In the embodiment, Figure 2 The NMOS tube structure on the right side is sequentially provided with an N-type substrate 6, a P-type well region 51, an N-type source region 41, a polysilicon layer 1, a first connection structure 3, a dielectric layer 10, and a metal layer 2 from bottom to top. Figure 2 The PMOS tube structure on the left side is sequentially provided with an N-type substrate 6, an N-type well region 52, a P-type source region 42, a source 7, a drain 8, a polysilicon layer 1, a dielectric layer 10, and a metal layer 2 from bottom to top.

[0058] In an example, the drain 8 on the P-type source region 42 of the PMOS tube active region layer (i.e. Figure 2 In an example, the drain 8 on the P-type source region 42 of the PMOS tube active region layer (i.e.

[0059] In an example, the second via for connecting the first connection structure 3 and the fourth via for connecting the second connection structure 9 on the metal layer 2 have a first distance.

[0060] Similarly, the first via for connecting the first connection structure 3 and the second via for connecting the second connection structure 9 also have a second distance.

[0061] The active region layer of the preset gate finger has a hollow structure, and the position of the hollow structure is arranged in the extension direction of the first connection structure.

[0062] In an example, since the lower part connected by the first connection structure between the polysilicon layer and the metal layer cannot exist the active region, the hollow structure is provided on the active region layer (i.e. N-type source region 41 in Figure 2 the extension direction of the first connection structure 3.

[0063] In the embodiment, the metal layer 1 where the first region 201 is located is the adjacent upper layer of the polysilicon layer 1 where the polysilicon region 101 is located. As another embodiment, when the transistor structure is provided with multiple metal layers, for example, one metal layer is further provided above the metal layer 1 in Figure 2 , the polysilicon region where the preset gate finger is located and the corresponding first region in the non-adjacent upper metal layer can also be connected by the first connection structure. Figure 2

[0064] In the embodiment, since the hollow structure is provided on the active region layer under the preset gate finger, and the position of the hollow structure is set in the extension direction of the first connection structure, the more the number of preset transistors in the transistor, the better the voltage resistance of the transistor, but the larger the area occupied by the transistor.

[0065] The radio frequency switch structure of the embodiment, by connecting the polysilicon region where one or several preset gate fingers of the transistor are located to the preset first region in the adjacent metal layer through the first connection structure, compared with the prior art, it is equivalent to connecting a resistance with a smaller resistance (i.e. the sheet resistance of the metal layer) in parallel with the resistance (the sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer) of the original gate finger in the transistor of the radio frequency switch structure. Since the sheet resistance of the metal layer is much smaller than the sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer, after the two sheet resistances are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of each preset gate finger is much smaller than the resistance of the original gate finger. On the basis of reducing the gate resistance, the problem of excessive voltage drop of different gate fingers in the transistor caused by the excessive sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer (Poly layer) where the gate finger of the transistor is located can be avoided, thereby effectively improving the voltage resistance of the transistor and improving the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure.

[0066] Embodiment two provides a radio frequency switch structure, which is different from the structure in embodiment one in that:

[0067] ​In the plurality of gate fingers of the transistor, every interval of a set number of gate fingers is set as a preset gate finger. Optionally, every interval of L gate fingers selects one as a preset gate finger, L≥1. For example, when L=1, in N (assuming N is an odd number) gate fingers M1, M2, …, MN, then the gate fingers M1, M3, …, MN-2, MN are sequentially selected as preset gate fingers, and each preset gate finger is connected to the corresponding first region in the polysilicon region and the metal layer through the first connection structure according to the description in the first embodiment.

[0068] Optionally, when selecting the number of preset gate fingers, at least one preset gate finger can be selected to connect the corresponding first region in the polysilicon region and the metal layer, which can still improve the voltage resistance of the transistor to some extent, thereby improving the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure. The more the number of preset gate fingers selected, the better the effect of improving the voltage resistance of the transistor, for example, selecting each transistor in the transistor stack as a preset gate finger can make the voltage resistance of the transistor reach the best state.

[0069] In the third embodiment, a radio frequency switch module is provided, which includes a substrate 31 and a radio frequency switch chip 32 arranged on the substrate. The radio frequency switch chip 32 has the radio frequency switch structure 33 described in the first or second embodiment. The signal input end IN of the radio frequency switch structure 33 is connected to an antenna 34 through a transmission line, and the signal output end OUT of the radio frequency switch structure 33 is used to output a radio frequency signal.

[0070] Since the specific structure of the radio frequency switch structure 33 has been clearly and completely described in the first or second embodiment, the specific structure of the radio frequency switch structure 33 will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0071] The radio frequency switch module of the present embodiment uses the radio frequency switch structure described above, which can reduce the gate resistance. The bias voltage of the transistor stack can be applied to the gate of each transistor through a smaller gate resistance, thereby improving the non-uniformity of the bias voltage on the gates of different transistors in the transistor stack, and effectively improving the stable working performance of the radio frequency switch structure.

[0072] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
