Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuits, and in particular to an isolation capacitor device, a method for preparing an isolation capacitor device, a multi-channel isolation chip and a wafer. Background Art
[0002] Isolation circuits are widely used in industrial automation systems, medical electronic equipment, and hybrid vehicles to protect systems and users from potentially dangerous voltages. In actual electronic industrial applications, equipment needs to work stably in strong magnetic fields, high surges, and more stringent temperature environments, which poses a greater challenge to the innovation and upgrading of isolation circuit technology.
[0003] There are currently four main digital isolator models: optocoupler, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) coupling, magnetic coupling, and capacitive coupling. Optocoupler isolation technology has low electro-optical conversion efficiency and is subject to certain limitations in service life, speed, and power consumption. Digital isolators based on giant magnetoresistance do not have absolute advantages in technical indicators for the time being. Capacitive isolation is achieved by adding a capacitive isolation barrier on the top of each chip to connect in series. Compared with several other isolation technologies, the main advantages of high-performance capacitive isolation chips are smaller area structures, higher transmission efficiency, high resistance to magnetic field interference, better overvoltage and overheating parameter stability, lower power consumption, wider operating temperature range, and longer service life. In terms of process, it has good compatibility with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes, and can be integrated into a single chip with various functional unit circuits such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), serial peripheral devices (SPI) interfaces, and comparators. It is easy to realize serialized isolation products through multi-functional integration and improve product cost performance; currently, capacitive isolation chip technology has gradually expanded its market share.
[0004] Since complex application scenarios such as power, industrial control, and rail transit will pose greater challenges in terms of anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities, transmission rates, voltage resistance, and especially isolation safety performance, their core isolation capacitor components need further in-depth research.
