Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically, to an electrical connection structure for a semiconductor passive device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, integrated circuits and large-scale integrated circuits are widely used. The components that make up an integrated circuit can be passive or active. When the components are passive, they are called integrated passive devices (IPD). IPD provides the integration of passive devices such as high-precision capacitors and high-performance inductors.

[0003] The passive components in integrated passive devices mainly consist of various types such as passive resistors, passive capacitors, and passive inductors. To address the problem that the conductive connection structure in integrated passive devices is relatively complex, leading to complicated processes, existing technologies have simplified the structure of the conductive connection part of integrated passive devices, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and manufacturing time.

[0004] Meanwhile, achieving localized high-density interconnects between chips through bridging structures has become a mainstream advanced packaging solution in the semiconductor field. The fabrication of bridging structures for passive devices generally requires two substrates. On the one hand, this involves complex processes such as substrate bonding, resulting in high costs. On the other hand, the wiring from the chip end to the substrate end is complex. In high-frequency applications, when signals are transmitted to passive devices, the wires need to be connected to the lines at both ends of the passive device, leading to a reduction in the cross-sectional area of ​​the wires, an increase in resistance, and ultimately, excessive signal loss during transmission. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a semiconductor passive device electrical connection structure that simplifies the bridging structure, is fabricated using a single substrate, reduces production costs, and minimizes losses during high-frequency signal transmission.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A semiconductor passive device electrical connection structure includes a substrate layer, capacitor portions symmetrically disposed on the substrate layer for forming capacitors, dielectric layers symmetrically disposed on the substrate layer for forming insulating layers, inductor coil portions symmetrically disposed on the substrate layer for forming inductors, and a bridge structure disposed inside the two capacitor portions and the two inductor coil portions for connection.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the capacitor portion includes a conductive layer disposed on a substrate layer, a capacitor dielectric layer disposed on the conductive layer, a lower electrode outlet portion, and an upper electrode outlet portion disposed on the capacitor dielectric layer.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the upper electrode outlet and the lower electrode outlet are separated from each other, and at least one of the upper electrode outlet and the lower electrode outlet is electrically connected to the lower electrode outlet.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a bridging structure is provided between the two conductive layers for connection.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the dielectric layer partially covers the capacitor portion and the inductor coil portion, and the thickness of the dielectric layer is greater than the thickness of the capacitor portion and the inductor coil portion.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the bridging structure includes a first metal interconnect layer formed on the surface of the substrate, a second metal interconnect layer formed on the other surface of the substrate, and a metal interconnect hole formed inside the substrate, wherein the two ends of the metal interconnect hole are respectively connected to the first metal interconnect layer and the second metal interconnect layer.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, two conductive layers are connected via a bridging structure, achieving interconnection between the two capacitor sections, thereby forming a 3D capacitor structure on both sides of the substrate. Similarly, two inductor coil sections are connected via a bridging structure, achieving interconnection between the two inductor coil sections, thereby forming a 3D inductor structure on both sides of the substrate.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the first metal connection layer can be formed by depositing metal on the surface of the substrate layer and above the metal interconnect hole by means of photolithography, electroplating, etc., so that a portion of the first metal connection layer can be electrically connected to the metal interconnect hole.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the second metal interconnect layer is formed by depositing metal on the other surface of the substrate layer and in the exposed portion of the metal interconnect hole by means of photolithography, electroplating, etc.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] By integrating 3D passive devices formed by 3D capacitor and 3D inductor structures onto a substrate using a bridging structure, the connection can be completed using only one substrate. This makes the electrical connection structure of the passive device thinner and more integrated. At the same time, the electrical signals of the wires can be directly transmitted to both sides of the passive device using the 3D capacitor and 3D inductor structures, avoiding the problem of excessive electrical signal loss under high-frequency signal transmission.

[0026] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-2 A semiconductor passive device electrical connection structure includes a substrate layer 1, capacitor portions 2 symmetrically disposed on the substrate layer 1 for forming capacitors, dielectric layers 3 symmetrically disposed on the substrate layer 1 for forming insulating layers, inductor coil portions 4 symmetrically disposed on the substrate layer 1 for forming inductors, and a bridge structure 5 disposed inside the two capacitor portions 2 and the two inductor coil portions 4 for connection.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-2The capacitor section 2 includes a conductive layer 21 disposed on a substrate layer 1, a capacitor dielectric layer 22 disposed on the conductive layer 21, a lower electrode outlet section 24 disposed on the conductive layer 21, and an upper electrode outlet section 23 disposed on the capacitor dielectric layer 22. The upper electrode outlet section 23 and the lower electrode outlet section 24 are separated from each other, and at least one of the upper electrode outlet section 23 and the lower electrode outlet section 24 is electrically connected to the lower electrode outlet section 24. The independently disposed upper electrode outlet section 23 and the lower electrode outlet section 24 are formed by sequentially depositing the conductive layer 21 and the capacitor dielectric layer 22 on the substrate layer 1, and then performing patterning processes such as deposition, etching, or stripping. In addition, a conductive layer can be further disposed on the upper electrode outlet section 23 to electrically connect the upper electrode outlet section 23 to the inductor coil section 4 to meet the power connection requirements of the capacitor and the inductor. With the above structure, the thickness of the conductive layer 21 can be designed and manufactured to be relatively thin while the thickness of the inductor coil section 4 can be designed and manufactured to be relatively thick, ensuring the normal use of the integrated passive device. This not only meets the high-performance requirements of the inductor coil section 4, but also avoids defects such as microcracks that are prone to occur due to the use of silicon dioxide layer, which could lead to device failure. It can effectively improve the device quality factor of the inductor in the integrated passive device and improve the reliability of the device.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-2 The dielectric layer 3 partially covers the capacitor section 2 and the inductor coil section 4, and the thickness of the dielectric layer 3 is greater than the thickness of the capacitor section 2 and the inductor coil section 4. The dielectric layer 3 can be made of any material or combination of spin-coated glass (SGS), polyimide, and epoxy resin, so as to adjust its thickness and achieve coverage of the capacitor section 2 and the inductor coil section 4.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-2 A bridging structure 5 is provided between the two conductive layers 21 for connection, and a bridging structure 5 is provided between the two inductor coil portions 4 for connection. The bridging structure 5 includes a first metal interconnect layer 51 formed on the surface of the substrate layer 1, a second metal interconnect layer 53 formed on the other surface of the substrate layer 1, and a metal interconnect hole 52 formed inside the substrate layer 1. The two ends of the metal interconnect hole 52 are respectively connected to the first metal interconnect layer 51 and the second metal interconnect layer 53. Blind holes of different sizes are prepared on the surface of the substrate layer 1 using processes such as etching or laser, and the blind holes are metallized to form the metal interconnect hole 52 by combining metal electroplating or deposition. The first metal interconnect layer 51 can be formed by depositing metal on the surface of the substrate layer 1 and above the metal interconnect hole 52 by photolithography, electroplating, etc., so that a portion of the first metal interconnect layer 51 can be electrically connected to the metal interconnect hole 52. The second metal interconnect layer 53 can be formed by depositing metal on the other surface of the substrate layer 1 and in the exposed portion of the metal interconnect hole 52 by photolithography, electroplating, etc.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-2Two conductive layers 21 are connected by a bridging structure 5, interconnecting the two capacitor sections 2 and forming a 3D capacitor structure on both sides of the substrate layer 1. Two inductor coil sections 4 are also connected by the bridging structure 5, interconnecting the two inductor coil sections 4 and forming a 3D inductor structure on both sides of the substrate layer 1. By integrating the 3D capacitor and 3D inductor structures into a 3D passive device on the substrate layer 1 using the bridging structure 5, the connection can be completed using only one substrate layer 1. This results in a thinner and more highly integrated passive device electrical connection structure. Furthermore, the 3D capacitor and 3D inductor structures can directly transmit electrical signals from the wires to both sides of the passive device, avoiding excessive signal loss during high-frequency signal transmission.
