[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and their technical features can be combined with each other, and also belong to the technical solutions of this application.
[0047] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the technical solutions of the corresponding embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0048] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an LTCC RF device 1 according to an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that, for ease of observation and understanding of the internal structural components, the diagram uses a perspective view, showing, for example, the positions and connections between some internal and external structural components of the LTCC RF device 1. In practical scenarios, it is manufactured based on LTCC technology, hence the name LTCC RF device 1, which can specifically be a filter, combiner, or coupler. The LTCC RF device 1 includes a ceramic body 101, an electromagnetic shielding layer 102, an inductor-capacitor assembly, and external electrodes.
[0049] The shape and size of the LTCC RF device 1 are not limited in this application. For example, the shape can be a cuboid, rectangle, or other similar tetrahedron as shown in the figure. The length L direction of the LTCC RF device 1 is the first direction x, the width W direction is the third direction z, and the height H2 direction is the second direction y. The first direction x, the second direction y, and the third direction z are all perpendicular to each other and can be regarded as the three coordinate axes of a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system.
[0050] The term "perpendicular" as used throughout this application does not require the included angle between two points to be exactly 90°, but rather allows for a deviation of ±10°. In other words, "perpendicular" can be understood as an angle between any two directions ranging from 80° to 100°. Similarly, the term "parallel" as used throughout this application does not require the included angle between two points to be exactly 0° or 180°, but rather allows for a deviation of ±10°. In other words, "parallel" can be understood as an angle between any two directions ranging from 0° to 10° or from 170° to 190°.
[0051] The electromagnetic shielding layer 102 covers the first surface of the ceramic body 101. For example, along the second direction y-line of sight, the orthographic projection of a plurality of internal electrodes falls into the orthographic projection of the electromagnetic shielding layer 102.
[0052] The inductor-capacitor assembly is disposed within the ceramic body 101. The inductor-capacitor assembly includes multiple internal electrodes, and adjacent internal electrodes are insulated from each other by the ceramic body 101 (also known as the dielectric layer) sandwiched therebetween.
[0053] The external electrode is disposed on the second surface of the ceramic body 101. The second surface is disposed opposite to the first surface along the second direction y, and therefore can also be referred to as the lower surface and upper surface of the ceramic body 101. Multiple internal electrodes are connected to the corresponding external electrodes.
[0054] The electromagnetic shielding layer 102 can be made of a semiconductor material with nonlinear characteristics, such as a metal and / or a magnetic material. The inner electrode of the inductor-capacitor assembly is connected to the outer electrode, and the inner electrode can be made of a conductive material composed of silver, palladium, platinum, or a silver-palladium or silver-platinum alloy.
[0055] The external electrode can also be made of the same material as the internal electrode. In some scenarios, the LTCC RF device 1 can be provided with three external electrodes 501, 502, and 503, which serve as the output terminal 501, ground terminal 502, and input terminal 503 of the LTCC RF device 1, respectively. The function and working principle of these external electrodes can be found in the descriptions of existing filters and other RF devices, and will not be elaborated here.
[0056] This application covers the surface of the ceramic body 101 with an electromagnetic shielding layer 102, which can avoid external electromagnetic interference, reduce parasitic effects on internal capacitors and inductors, and is beneficial to the performance stability of miniaturized products.
[0057] The thickness and other parameters of the electromagnetic shielding layer 102 can be determined according to the size of the LTCC RF device 1. For example, for an LTCC RF device 1 with length L*width W*height H2 ≥ 0.4mm*0.2mm*0.2mm, the thickness of the electromagnetic shielding layer 102 can optionally be H1, and 0.005mm ≦H1 ≦0.2mm.
[0058] Please see Figure 4 This is a circuit equivalent diagram of LTCC RF device 1. Multiple internal electrodes form the first capacitor C1 to the sixth capacitor C6, and the first inductor L1 to the fifth inductor L5; the three external electrodes 501, 502, and 503 serve as the output terminal P2, the ground terminal GND, and the input terminal P1, respectively.
[0059] The first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are connected in series between the input terminal P1 and the output terminal P2.
[0060] The third inductor L3 and the third capacitor C3 are connected in parallel to form a parallel resonant circuit, with one end connected between the input terminal P1 and the first capacitor C1, and the other end connected to the ground terminal GND. The fifth inductor L5 and the sixth capacitor C6 are connected in parallel to form a parallel resonant circuit, with one end connected between the output terminal P2 and the second capacitor C2, and the other end connected to the ground terminal GND. Thus, a symmetrical parallel resonant circuit to ground is formed.
[0061] The first inductor L1, the fourth inductor L4, and the fourth capacitor C4 are connected in parallel to form a parallel resonant circuit connected to the ground terminal GND. The second inductor L2, the fourth inductor L4, and the fifth capacitor C5 are connected in parallel to form a parallel resonant circuit connected to the ground terminal GND. Thus, a symmetrical parallel resonant circuit to ground is formed.
[0062] The signal is input from input terminal P1 and output from output terminal P2. When the signal passes through the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the high-frequency signal passes through while the low-frequency signal is blocked. The third inductor L3 and the third capacitor C3, the sixth capacitor C6 and the fifth inductor L5 form symmetrical parallel resonant circuits to ground, which mainly introduce transmission zeros to the LTE band and the second harmonic band, thus suppressing the low-frequency and high-frequency parts of the signal. The fourth capacitor C4, the fifth capacitor C5, the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2 and the fourth inductor L4 together form a parallel resonant circuit to ground, which mainly introduces transmission zeros on both sides of the passband, thus suppressing the out-of-band signal on both sides of the passband, improving the rectangular coefficient of the LTCC RF device 1, and effectively adjusting the center frequency and passband bandwidth.
[0063] The following is based on Figures 1 to 3 This paper describes the physical structure of the LTCC radio frequency device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, and how the above-mentioned 6 capacitors and 5 inductors are formed based on the physical structure.
[0064] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the LTCC radio frequency device 1 includes a first electrode layer to a fifth electrode layer stacked sequentially in the opposite direction of the second direction y, and a dielectric layer 11 disposed between adjacent conductor layers.
[0065] The inner electrodes in the first to fifth electrode layers are conductive electrodes and can be made of conductive materials such as silver, palladium, platinum, or silver-palladium or silver-platinum alloys. The manufacturing methods for each inner electrode can be found in existing technologies, such as printing and sintering, and will not be elaborated here.
[0066] The first electrode layer includes a first part 201 and a first second part 204 that are disposed at relatively intervals; the first electrode layer is disposed adjacent to the electromagnetic shielding layer 102 and the first surface.
[0067] The second electrode layer includes a second part 202, a second part 205, and a second part 203. The second electrode layer is arranged in an E-shape and is an integrally formed structural component.
[0068] The third electrode layer 303 is an integrally formed structural component.
[0069] The fourth electrode layer includes a fourth part 301, a fourth second part 302, a fourth third part 305, and a fourth fourth part 306 that are not connected to each other.
[0070] The fifth electrode layer 304 is disposed adjacent to the second surface.
[0071] Along the second direction y, the fourth part 302 and the third electrode layer 303 at least partially overlap to form a first capacitor C1, the third electrode layer 303 and the fourth part 305 at least partially overlap to form a second capacitor C2, the fourth part 302 and the fifth electrode layer 304 at least partially overlap to form a third capacitor C3, the fourth part 301 and the fifth electrode layer 304 at least partially overlap to form a fourth capacitor C4, the fourth part 306 and the fifth electrode layer 304 at least partially overlap to form a fifth capacitor C5, and the fourth part 305 and the fifth electrode layer 304 at least partially overlap to form a sixth capacitor C6.
[0072] The second part 202 is connected to the third metal resonant pillar 403 to form the first inductor L1.
[0073] The second and third parts 203 are connected to the sixth metal resonant pillar 406 to form the second inductor L2.
[0074] The first part 201 is connected to the first metal resonant pillar 401 and the second metal resonant pillar 402 to form the third inductor L3.
[0075] The second part 205 is connected to the fourth metal resonant pillar 404 to form the fourth inductor L4.
[0076] The first and second parts 204 are connected to the seventh metal resonant pillar 407 and the eighth metal resonant pillar 408 to form the fifth inductor L5.
[0077] It should be noted that the formation process of the so-called metal resonant pillar is as follows: a through hole is opened in the dielectric layer 11 located between the two electrode layers, and a conductive material (such as the conductive material used to form the inner electrode of the upper layer) is filled into the through hole to solidify and form a conductive pillar. Multiple conductive pillars are stacked on top of each other to form a metal pillar.
[0078] The entire manufacturing process of the LTCC RF device 1 can refer to existing technologies. For example, it can be processed using steps such as molding, cutting, debinding and sintering, chamfering, and electroplating. For instance, relevant materials meeting the requirements are prepared, and a ceramic layer (insulating layer) with conductive patterns is fabricated. The resulting ceramic layers are stacked and connected in a certain regular manner to obtain the required inductance and capacitance, forming a single ceramic body containing several internal electrodes. The connected ceramic bodies are then divided into individual ceramic bodies 101 using a specific cutting method. After separation, the independent LTCC RF device 1 is treated at a certain temperature to remove excess organic solvent and then sintered at high temperature to obtain the device with the required electrical characteristics. Silver is applied to the bottom surface of the ceramic body 101, and the silver treatment initially forms the external electrode. A nickel layer and a tin layer are then sequentially formed outside the silver layer of the external electrode through an electroplating process to obtain the final external electrode.
[0079] The aforementioned electrode layers are electrically connected via corresponding metal resonant pillars, using the aforementioned 5 inductors and 6 capacitors to achieve the following: Figure 4 The electrical connections are shown. Specifically:
[0080] The first metal resonant pillar 401 passes through the dielectric layer 11 between the first part 201 and the fourth part 302, and its two ends abut against the first part 201 and the fourth part 302, respectively.
[0081] The second metal resonant pillar 402 passes through the dielectric layer 11 between the first part 201 and the fifth electrode layer 304, and its two ends abut against the first part 201 and the fifth electrode layer 304, respectively.
[0082] The third metal resonant pillar 403 passes through the dielectric layer 11 between the second part 202 and the fourth part 301, and its two ends abut against the second part 202 and the fourth part 301, respectively.
[0083] The fourth metal resonant pillar 404 passes through the dielectric layer 11 between the second part 205 and the third electrode layer 303, and its two ends abut against the second part 205 and the third electrode layer 303 respectively; the fifth electrode layer 304 may be provided with a notch, and the fourth metal resonant pillar 404 passes through the notch and connects to the ground terminal 502.

[0086] The eighth metal resonant pillar 408 passes through the dielectric layer 11 between the first two parts 204 and the fifth electrode layer 304, and its two ends abut against the first two parts 204 and the fifth electrode layer 304, respectively.
[0087] The fourth part 302 is connected to the input terminal 503 through the fifth metal resonant pillar 4051.
[0088] The fourth and third parts 305 are connected to the output terminal 501 through the fifth two-metal resonant pillar 4052.
