[0084] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. This is only for the purpose of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.
[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0087] Throughout the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples" are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. Schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any suitable manner.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, “a plurality of” means two or more, and “at least one” means one or more, unless otherwise clearly defined.
[0089] The features "parallel," "perpendicular," and "identical" used in the embodiments of the present application include features such as "parallel," "perpendicular," and "identical" in the strict sense, as well as "approximately parallel," "approximately perpendicular," and "approximately identical" that include certain tolerances, taking into account the measurement and tolerances associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (e.g., limitations of the measurement system), and represent within an acceptable range of deviation for a particular value determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "approximately" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within 10% or 5% of the stated value.
[0090] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" is to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, ie, meaning "including, but not limited to."
[0091] In the embodiments of this application, "same layer" refers to the relationship between multiple film layers formed from the same material after the same step (e.g., a one-step patterning process). "Same layer" here does not always mean that the thickness of multiple film layers is the same or the height of multiple film layers in the cross-sectional view is the same. Polygons in this specification are not strictly defined and can be approximate triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons, etc., and some small deformations due to tolerances may exist.
[0092] RF switches can connect any one or more of multiple RF signal paths through control logic to enable switching between different signal paths, including switching between receive and transmit, switching between different frequency bands, and so on. This allows for antenna sharing and reduces end product costs. Currently, the most commonly used RF switch technology is RF SOI (Radio Frequency Silicon On Insulator). RF switch products using SOG (Silicon On Glass) technology are rare.
[0093] Based on this, this application proposes a switch structure using SOG technology, which can achieve low-cost production of the switch structure. SOG has superior insulation properties compared to SOI, which can reduce the leakage of RF signals. In addition, to achieve impurity activation in single-crystal silicon after ion implantation, since the heat resistance temperature of high-temperature glass is approximately 650°C, the existing high-temperature annealing process of 1000°C cannot be achieved. Therefore, this application also proposes a low-temperature process to achieve doping and impurity activation of single-crystal silicon, thereby completing the production of the switch structure based on SOG technology.
[0094] Embodiments of the present application provide a switch structure, a manufacturing method thereof, and a radio frequency chip. The switch structure includes a glass substrate; at least one switch subcircuit located on the glass substrate, the switch subcircuit including at least one switch unit; the switch unit including a transistor, a resistor, and a power supply device, wherein the gate of the transistor is electrically connected to the resistor, the resistor is electrically connected to the power supply device, the first electrode of at least one transistor is electrically connected to an input conductive pad, and the second electrode of at least one transistor is electrically connected to an output conductive pad; a silicon material layer located on and bonded to the glass substrate, the silicon material layer including a conductive region, a portion of the conductive region being configured to electrically connect the gate of the transistor and the resistor, wherein the ion doping concentration of the conductive region is greater than or equal to 1×10 18 cm -3 The switch structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is formed by directly arranging a silicon material layer on a glass substrate, and the ion doping concentration in a local area of the silicon material layer is greater than or equal to 1×10 18 cm -3 ; In this way, in the actual preparation process, after annealing the silicon material layer using a low-temperature process, the impurities can be activated and the local area of the silicon material layer can be conductive; in addition, by directly bonding the silicon material layer to the glass substrate, compared with the switch structure of SOI technology, the leakage of RF signals can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the signal transmission stability of the switch structure.
[0095] The switch structure and its preparation method, and the radio frequency chip provided in the embodiments of the present application will be specifically introduced and explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0096] An embodiment of the present application provides a switch structure, as shown in FIG3 , FIG11 , FIG12 , and FIG9 , the switch structure includes:
[0097] Glass substrate 100;
[0098] at least one switch sub-circuit located on the glass substrate 100 (three switch sub-circuits are shown in FIG3 , FIG11 , and FIG12 , respectively), the switch sub-circuit including at least one switch unit (e.g., the first switch unit DY1 shown in FIG3 , the second switch unit DY2 and the third switch unit DY3 shown in FIG11 , and the fourth switch unit DY4, the fifth switch unit DY5, the sixth switch unit DY6, and the seventh switch unit DY7 shown in FIG12 );
[0099] Taking the switch subcircuit shown in FIG3 as an example, the switch unit includes a transistor (e.g., MOS1), a resistor (e.g., R1), and a power supply device (not shown). The gate Gate of the transistor is electrically connected to the resistor (e.g., R1), the resistor (e.g., R1) is electrically connected to the power supply device, the first electrode of at least one transistor is electrically connected to the input conductive pad In (In pad), and the second electrode of at least one transistor is electrically connected to the output conductive pad Out (Out pad);
[0100] As shown in FIG9 , the switch structure further includes a silicon material layer 1 located on and bonded to the glass substrate 100. The silicon material layer 1 includes a conductive region, such as the region marked A2. Part of the conductive region is configured to electrically connect the gate of the transistor and the resistor. The ion doping concentration of the conductive region is greater than or equal to 1×10 18 cm -3 .
[0101] Illustratively, the switch structure may include a radio frequency switch.
[0102] Among them, the glass substrate 100 has a better resistivity than other plastic or resin insulating substrates. Therefore, when it is used in a radio frequency switch, it can reduce the leakage of radio frequency signals and improve the transmission stability of signals.
[0103] There is no limitation on the number of switch sub-circuits provided on the glass substrate 100 .
[0104] In some examples, a switching sub-circuit may be disposed on the glass substrate 100 .
[0105] In some examples, a plurality of switch sub-circuits may be disposed on the glass substrate 100 , where a plurality refers to two or more.
[0106] For example, a plurality of switch sub-circuits arranged in an array may be provided on the glass substrate 100 .
[0107] Among them, each switch sub-circuit includes at least one switch unit. For the same switch structure, each switch sub-circuit includes the same number of switch units. Among them, the number of switch units included in a switch sub-circuit is related to the design of the switch sub-circuit and is not limited here.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, since the source and drain of the transistor are symmetrical, the source and drain can be interchanged. One of the "first electrode" and the "second electrode" of the above transistor is the source, and the other is the drain.
[0109] Exemplarily, the transistor is a MOS tube, which is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor.
[0110] Exemplarily, the power supply device (eg, a battery) may be built into the switch subcircuit, or the power supply device may be an external power supply.
[0111] There is no limitation on the type of the power supply device mentioned above.
[0112] In some examples, the power supply device may be a direct current (DC) power supply device.
[0113] In some examples, the power supply device may be an alternating current (AC) power supply device.
[0114] It should be noted that in the relevant circuit diagrams provided in the embodiments of this application, the power supply device is labeled and drawn as a direct current power supply. In addition, in the planar structure diagrams of the switch structure provided in the embodiments of this application, the power supply device is not drawn. Only the conductive pads (or conductive terminals) electrically connected to the power supply device are drawn, such as the structure labeled DC pad in Figure 4.
[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, the glass substrate 100 and the silicon material layer 1 are bonded together using a bonding process.
[0116] For example, since glass is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2, i.e., quartz, the main component of sand), and pure silica has a melting point of 2000°C, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3, i.e., soda) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3, potash) are generally added during glassmaking to lower the melting point of silica to around 1000°C.
[0117] During the actual bonding process, a negative voltage is applied to the glass substrate 100 and a positive voltage is applied to the silicon material layer 1. Under preset temperature and pressure conditions, atoms near the interface between the glass substrate 100 and the silicon material layer 1 migrate to each other and move into each other's film layer, thereby achieving bonding between the glass substrate 100 and the silicon material layer 1. The voltage difference between the voltages applied to the glass substrate 100 and the silicon material layer 1 is approximately 200V, and the preset temperature is 200°C to 400°C. For the specific details of the bonding process, please refer to the bonding process introduction in the relevant art and will not be repeated here.
[0118] In an exemplary embodiment, the main component of the silicon material layer 1 may be single crystal silicon.
[0119] For example, when the main component of the silicon material layer 1 is single crystal silicon, before the ion implantation process and the annealing process, the initial resistivity of the silicon material layer 1 is 10±2Ω·cm.
[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, the silicon material layer 1 includes a conductive region, wherein an ion doping followed by a low-temperature annealing process may be used to activate impurities, thereby achieving conductive properties in a local region of the silicon material layer 1 .
[0121] In conventional SOI processes, in order to achieve complete activation of single crystal silicon after ion implantation, the annealing temperature often reaches 1000°C. However, since the heat resistance temperature of high-temperature glass is approximately 650°C, conventional annealing temperatures cannot be used, so a low-temperature annealing process must be found.
[0122] FIG1 provides a line graph of the resistivity and impurity concentration of a silicon material layer 1 with an initial resistivity of 10Ω·cm and a main component of single crystal silicon after different doses of phosphorus ions are implanted and annealed at 600°C for 1 hour. As can be seen from FIG1 , when the implantation dose of phosphorus ions is 3×10 15 cm -2 When the resistivity is less than 0.001Ω·cm; combined with Figure 2, it can be seen that the phosphorus ion impurity concentration is greater than 1×10 18 cm -3 , which can achieve heavy doping of silicon and meet the ohmic contact requirements between metal and semiconductor.
[0123] For example, in practical applications, the concentration of phosphorus ion impurities can be set to be greater than 1×10 20 cm -3 .
[0124] An ohmic contact is a pure resistor between metal and semiconductor. The smaller the resistance, the better. This ensures that during device operation, most of the voltage drop occurs in the active region, rather than at the contact surface. Therefore, its IV characteristic is linear: a greater slope indicates a lower contact resistance, and the magnitude of the contact resistance directly impacts device performance.
[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, the ion implantation dose range of the silicon material layer 1 with an initial resistivity of 10Ω·cm and a main component of single crystal silicon is 3×10 15 cm -3 ~9×10 15 cm -3 .
[0126] It should be noted that the conductorization process is related to the solid phase epitaxial growth process. + ) ion implantation dose is greater than or equal to 6×10 14 cm -2 When the annealing is carried out, the surface of the single crystal silicon film layer becomes amorphous silicon. The single crystal silicon under the amorphous silicon can serve as a seed crystal for the amorphous silicon to crystallize again. During the annealing process, the amorphous silicon on the surface crystallizes again and grows into single crystal silicon. <100> In the direction of the crystal plane, the recrystallization growth rate is 10nm / min at a temperature of 550℃ and 50nm / min at a temperature of 600℃. In this process, the dopant atoms are incorporated into the lattice positions along with the host atoms, thereby activating the dopant atoms at a relatively low temperature.
[0127] Among them, solid phase epitaxy refers to the process of epitaxial recrystallization of the amorphous layer on a semiconductor single crystal at a temperature lower than the melting point or eutectic point of the material.
[0128] The switch structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is formed by directly providing a silicon material layer 1 on the glass substrate 100, and the ion doping concentration in the local area of the silicon material layer 1 is greater than or equal to 1×10 18 cm -3 ; In this way, in the actual preparation process, after annealing the silicon material layer 1 using a low-temperature process, the impurities can be activated and the local area of the silicon material layer 1 can be conductive; in addition, by directly bonding the silicon material layer 1 to the glass substrate 100, compared with the switch structure of SOI technology, the leakage of radio frequency signals can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the signal transmission stability of the switch structure.
[0129] In at least one embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first electrode of the transistor, the second electrode of the transistor, and the gate of the transistor includes an interdigital structure.
[0130] Exemplarily, the first electrode of the transistor includes an interdigital structure;
[0131] Exemplarily, the second electrode of the transistor includes an interdigital structure;
[0132] Exemplarily, the gate of the transistor includes an interdigital structure;
[0133] Exemplarily, the first electrode, the second electrode and the gate of the transistor all include an interdigital structure.
[0134] There is no limitation on the number of interdigits in the interdigital structure, and the number can be determined based on the planar dimensions of the interdigits and the performance requirements for the transistor.
[0135] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5, the first electrode of the transistor (for example, the source S), the second electrode of the transistor (for example, the drain D) and the gate Gate of the transistor all include an interdigitated structure, and the gate Gate of the transistor partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of one of the first electrode of the transistor and the second electrode of the transistor on the glass substrate 100.
[0136] Exemplarily, the first electrode of the transistor is the source S, and the second electrode is the drain D; or, the first electrode of the transistor is the drain D, and the second electrode is the source S.
[0137] For example, since the first electrode of the transistor (for example, the source S), the second electrode of the transistor (for example, the drain D) and the gate of the transistor all include an interdigitated structure, it is inevitable that the gate of the transistor overlaps with the orthographic projection of one of the first electrode of the transistor and the second electrode of the transistor on the glass substrate 100, as shown in the area marked by the dotted circle in Figure 5. The smaller the area of the overlapping region, the smaller the parasitic capacitance between the gate of the transistor and the source (or drain), the better the electrical properties of the transistor, and the more stable the control of the signal.
[0138] In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the width of the fingers in the area marked by the dotted circle can be set to be smaller than the width of the fingers in the area outside the dotted circle, thereby reducing the overlapping area between the gate Gate and the source (or drain) of the transistor, improving the electrical properties of the transistor, and improving the stability of the transistor.
[0139] For example, the width of the gate of the transistor located in the area marked by the dotted circle may be set to be smaller than the width in the area outside the dotted circle.
[0140] For example, the width of the drain D of the transistor located in the area marked by the dotted circle may be set to be smaller than the width in the area outside the dotted circle.
[0141] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG6 or FIG7 , the first electrode (e.g., source S) of the transistor and the second electrode (e.g., drain D) of the transistor both include an interdigitated structure, and the gate of the transistor includes a serpentine structure;
[0142] The orthographic projection of the gate Gate of the transistor on the glass substrate 100 is located between the orthographic projection of the first electrode (for example, the source S) of the transistor on the glass substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode (for example, the drain D) of the transistor on the glass substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the gate Gate of the transistor and the first electrode (for example, the source S) of the transistor and the second electrode (for example, the drain D) of the transistor on the glass substrate 1 do not overlap with each other.
[0143] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG6 or FIG7, by setting the gate Gate of the transistor to include a serpentine structure, the switching ratio of the transistor can be increased. In addition, the gate Gate of the transistor and the first electrode (for example, source S) of the transistor and the second electrode (for example, drain D) of the transistor on the glass substrate 1 do not overlap with each other, which can reduce the parasitic capacitance between the gate Gate and the source S (or drain D) and improve the performance of the switching device.
[0144] The on-off ratio is the ratio between the on and off states of a switch in a circuit. In circuit design, the on-off ratio is a crucial parameter that directly impacts circuit performance and stability. In circuits, the on-off ratio is typically used to describe the ratio between the on-time and off-time of a switch.
[0145] In at least one embodiment of the present application, a channel width-to-length ratio of the transistor is greater than or equal to 5000.
[0146] In practical applications, the on-resistance of a single transistor can be calculated using the following formula:
[0147] Where μ is the carrier mobility, C ox It is the capacitance between the gate of the transistor and the conductive area in the silicon material layer 1. Its size is related to the thickness of the gate insulating layer. V GS is the gate-source voltage, V th is the threshold voltage of the transistor, W is the channel width of the transistor, and L is the channel length of the transistor.
[0148] Since the transistor (MOS tube) needs a smaller on-resistance R when it is turned on on Therefore, a larger channel width-to-length ratio is required. By setting W / L>5000 and setting the channel width range of the transistor (MOS tube) used in the switch structure to 0.1mm~10mm, the normal use of the switch structure can be achieved.
[0149] It should be noted that, for the transistor shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 , compared with a transistor of a conventional design, its channel width W can be significantly increased.
[0150] Where, ΔW = (n-1)·S gate ;
[0151] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, n is the fork index of the gate Gate, and Sgate is the distance h between the two forks of the gate; taking the structure shown in Figure 5 as an example, n is 6; taking the structure shown in Figure 6 as an example, n is 6; among them, for the gate of the serpentine structure as shown in Figure 6, its fork index n refers to the number of line segments extending horizontally in the serpentine gate Gate.
[0152] In addition, for the gate of the serpentine structure shown in FIG6 , since there is no overlap between the gate Gate and the source S (or drain D), the magnitude of the parasitic capacitance of the transistor that can be reduced is as follows:
[0153] Among them, ε ILD is the dielectric constant of the interlayer dielectric layer (the insulating layer between the gate Gate and the source S), W SD is the width of the source and drain electrodes, W gate is the width of the gate electrode, d ILD is the thickness of the interlayer dielectric layer.
[0154] It should be noted that the conductorization process mentioned above is related to the solid phase epitaxial growth process. + ) ion implantation dose is greater than or equal to 6×10 14 cm -2 During the annealing process, the surface of the single crystal silicon film layer becomes amorphous silicon. The single crystal silicon under the amorphous silicon can serve as a seed crystal for the amorphous silicon to crystallize again. During the annealing process, the amorphous silicon on the surface crystallizes again and grows into single crystal silicon.
[0155] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the surface of the single crystal silicon film layer becomes amorphous silicon, and the amorphous silicon can be fully crystallized again, so that the silicon material layer 1 includes a single crystal silicon sublayer.
[0156] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the surface of the single crystal silicon film layer becomes amorphous silicon, and the amorphous silicon can be crystallized again, but a small amount of amorphous silicon still exists on the surface. At this time, the silicon material layer 1 includes a single crystal silicon sublayer and an amorphous silicon sublayer arranged in sequence on the glass substrate 100; the thickness of the amorphous silicon sublayer is less than the thickness of the single crystal silicon sublayer.
[0157] The specific structure of the switch sub-circuit is introduced and explained below.
[0158] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in combination with FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the switch sub-circuit includes an input conductive pad In pad and an output conductive pad Out pad.
[0159] Wherein, an input conductive pad In pad corresponds to an input port, and an output conductive pad Out pad corresponds to an output port.
[0160] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , the switch subcircuit includes a first switch unit DY1 , the first switch unit DY1 includes a first transistor MOS1 and a first resistor R1 , and the power supply device includes a first power supply device DC1 ;
[0161] A first electrode (e.g., source electrode S) of the first transistor MOS1 is electrically connected to an input conductive pad In pad, a second electrode (e.g., drain electrode D) of the first transistor MOS1 is electrically connected to an output conductive pad Out pad, a gate Gate of the first transistor MOS1 is electrically connected to a first end of a first resistor R1, and a first power supply device DC1 is electrically connected to a ground terminal GND and a second end of the first resistor R1, respectively.
[0162] Figure 3 shows a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch structure. When the first transistor MOS1 is on, the switch subcircuit is equivalent to a resistor with an extremely low resistance value, allowing the RF signal to be transmitted through the switch subcircuit. When the first transistor MOS1 is off, the switch subcircuit is equivalent to a capacitor, thereby preventing the passage of the RF signal and thus disconnecting the switch structure. The gate of the first transistor MOS1 is connected to the first resistor R1, which can effectively prevent breakdown between the gate and drain D, or between the gate and source S, caused by excessive peak-to-peak RF signal values on the source and drain.
[0163] The resistance value of the first resistor R1 ranges from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. For example, the resistance value is 20 kΩ, 30 kΩ, 40 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 60 kΩ, 70 kΩ, 80 kΩ, or 90 kΩ.
[0164] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG11 , the switch sub-circuit includes a second switch unit DY2 and a third switch unit DY3 ; the second switch unit DY2 includes a second transistor MOS2 and a second resistor R2 ; the third switch unit DY3 includes a third transistor MOS3 and a third resistor R3 ; and the power supply device includes a second power supply device DC2 and a third power supply device DC3 ;
[0165] A first electrode (e.g., source S) of the second transistor MOS2 and a first electrode (e.g., source S) of the third transistor MOS3 are both electrically connected to the input conductive pad In pad, a second electrode (e.g., drain D) of the second transistor MOS2 is electrically connected to the output conductive pad Out pad, a gate Gate of the second transistor MOS2 is electrically connected to a first end of the second resistor R2, and a second power supply device DC2 is electrically connected to a ground terminal GND and a second end of the second resistor R2, respectively;
[0166] The gate Gate of the third transistor MOS is electrically connected to the first end of the third resistor R3, the third power supply device DC3 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND and the second end of the third resistor R3 respectively, and the second electrode (for example, the drain D) of the third transistor MOS3 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND.
[0167] Exemplarily, the resistance range of the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 are both 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ.
[0168] Here, it is not limited whether the structures, sizes and electrical parameters of the second transistor MOS2 and the third transistor MOS3 are the same;
[0169] Exemplarily, when the second transistor MOS2 and the third transistor MOS3 have the same structure, size and electrical parameters, the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 have the same resistance value, and the second power supply device DC2 and the third power supply device DC3 provide the same power voltage.
[0170] Based on the single-pole, single-throw switch structure shown in Figure 3, a series branch can be added to improve the isolation of the switch structure. Isolation refers to the attenuation between the circuit input and output ports and is an indicator of the switch's cutoff effectiveness.
[0171] FIG11 provides a circuit structure of a single-pole, single-throw, series-parallel switch structure; wherein the second switch unit DY2 is a series branch, and the third switch unit DY3 is a parallel branch, each branch including a resistor electrically connected to the gate of a transistor. When a positive voltage is applied to the gate Gate of the second transistor MOS2 in the series branch, and a negative voltage is applied to the gate Gate of the third transistor MOS3 in the parallel branch, the series branch is turned on and the parallel branch is turned off. At this time, the RF signal is output through the series branch, and the switch is in the on state. When a negative voltage is applied to the gate Gate of the second transistor MOS2 in the series branch, and a positive voltage is applied to the gate Gate of the third transistor MOS3 in the parallel branch, the series branch is turned off and the parallel branch is turned on. At this time, the RF signal flows through the parallel branch to the ground terminal GND, and the switch is in the off state. Compared to the switch structure mentioned in FIG3, the switch structure shown in FIG11 adds a grounded parallel branch when the switch is in the off state, thereby improving the isolation of the switch structure.
[0172] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG12 , the switch sub-circuit includes a fourth switch unit DY4 , a fifth switch unit DY5 , a sixth switch unit DY6 , and a seventh switch unit DY7 ;
[0173] The fourth switch unit DY4 includes a fourth transistor MOS4 and a fourth resistor R4, the fifth switch unit DY5 includes a fifth transistor MOS5 and a fifth resistor R5; the sixth switch unit DY6 includes a sixth transistor MOS6 and a sixth resistor R6, and the seventh switch unit DY7 includes a seventh transistor MOS7 and a seventh resistor R7; the power supply device includes a fifth power supply device DC5 and a sixth power supply device DC6;
[0174] The fourth switch unit DY4 and the sixth switch unit DY6 share the sixth power supply device DC6 , and the fifth switch unit DY5 and the seventh switch unit DY7 share the fifth power supply device DC5 .
[0175] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG12 , the switch subcircuit includes an input conductive pad In pad and two output conductive pads Out pads, wherein one input conductive pad In pad corresponds to one input port, and two output conductive pads Out pads correspond to two output ports.
[0176] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the switch subcircuit includes two input conductive pads Inpad and one output conductive pad Outpad, the two input conductive pads Inpad correspond to two input ports, and the one output conductive pad Outpad corresponds to one output port.
[0177] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG12 , the first electrodes (e.g., sources S) of the fourth transistor MOS4 and the fifth transistor MOS5 are both electrically connected to the first output conductive pad Out pad (the conductive pad electrically connected to the output port on the left side in FIG12 ), the second electrode (e.g., drain D) of the fourth transistor MOS4 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND, the second electrode (e.g., drain D) of the fifth transistor MOS5 is electrically connected to the input conductive pad In pad, the gate Gate of the fourth transistor MOS4 is electrically connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R4, and the gate Gate of the fifth transistor MOS5 is electrically connected to the first end of the fifth resistor R5;
[0178] The first electrodes (e.g., source electrodes S) of the sixth transistor MOS6 and the seventh transistor MOS7 are both electrically connected to the second output conductive pad Out pad (a conductive pad electrically connected to the output port on the right side of FIG12 ), the second electrode (e.g., drain electrode D) of the sixth transistor MOS6 is electrically connected to the input conductive pad In pad, the second electrode (e.g., drain electrode D) of the seventh transistor MOS7 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND, the gate Gate of the sixth transistor MOS6 is electrically connected to the first end of the sixth resistor R6, and the gate Gate of the seventh transistor MOS7 is electrically connected to the first end of the seventh resistor R7.
[0179] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 12, the second end of the fourth resistor R4 and the second end of the sixth resistor R6 are both electrically connected to the sixth power supply device DC6, and the second end of the fifth resistor R5 and the second end of the seventh resistor D7 are both electrically connected to the fifth power supply device DC5.
[0180] Figure 12 provides a circuit structure of a single-pole double-throw switch structure, which can have two channels, namely channel L1 on the left side of the dotted line and channel L2 on the right side of the dotted line in Figure 12, where each channel includes a series branch and a parallel branch.
[0181] The series branch in channel L1 is the fifth switch unit DY5, and the parallel branch is the fourth switch unit DY4. The series branch in channel L2 is the sixth switch unit DY6, and the parallel branch is the seventh switch unit DY7. The fifth switch unit DY5 in the series branch in channel L1 and the seventh switch unit DY7 in the parallel branch in channel L2 share a common DC power supply (i.e., the gates Gate of the fifth transistor MOS5 and the seventh transistor MOS7 are connected to the same DC power supply). The fourth switch unit DY4 in the parallel branch in channel L1 and the sixth switch unit DY6 in the series branch in channel L2 share a common DC power supply (i.e., the gates Gate of the fourth transistor MOS4 and the gates Gate of the sixth transistor MOS6 are connected to the same DC power supply). When the same positive voltage is applied to the gate Gate of the fifth transistor MOS5 and the gate Gate of the seventh transistor MOS7, and the same negative voltage is applied to the gate Gate of the fourth transistor MOS4 and the gate Gate of the sixth transistor MOS6, channel L1 is turned on and channel L2 is disconnected. The RF signal leaking from the output port of channel L1 (such as the output port Out on the left side of Figure 12) to the input port of channel L2 is short-circuited to the ground terminal GND through the parallel branch in channel L2, significantly improving the isolation between the ports.
[0182] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the switch structure includes a plurality of switch sub-circuits arranged in an array on a glass substrate 100, thereby enabling large-area integration of switch devices, expanding the application field of the switch structure, improving its application flexibility, and reducing the preparation cost of the switch structure.
[0183] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 14, the transistor includes a plurality of sub-transistors arranged in series (Figure 14 is drawn as an example of two sub-transistors arranged in series), and as shown in Figure 16, the gate Gate of each sub-transistor is connected to a resistor R; and the first electrode of the sub-transistor (for example, the source S) and the second electrode of the transistor (for example, the drain D) both include a forked finger structure, and the gate Gate of the transistor includes a serpentine structure.
[0184] 16 is a schematic planar structural diagram of a case where the first transistor MOS1 in the switch sub-circuit shown in FIG3 includes four sub-transistors.
[0185] In practical applications, the operating voltage and breakdown voltage of a single MOS transistor are relatively low and may not meet the required specifications. By connecting multiple low-voltage devices in series, the power handling capability of the switch structure is increased, ensuring that the switch structure can withstand sufficiently high-power signals. The more sub-transistors are connected in series, the lower the voltage actually applied to each MOS transistor.
[0186] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG9 , the switch structure includes:
[0187] A silicon material layer 1, the silicon material layer 1 including a first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) and a second semiconductor pattern 12;

[0192] The first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) and the second semiconductor pattern 12 each include a semiconductor region A1 and conductive regions A2 located on both sides of the semiconductor region A1. The first electrode (e.g., source S) of the transistor is electrically connected to one conductive region A2 in the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL), and the second electrode (e.g., drain D) of the transistor is electrically connected to the other conductive region A2 in the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL). The semiconductor region A1 in the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) serves as a channel region of the transistor, and the semiconductor region A1 in the second semiconductor pattern 12 serves as a resistor.
[0193] Exemplarily, the main component of the above-mentioned silicon material layer 1 is single crystal silicon; in some examples, the silicon material layer 1 includes single crystal silicon at the bottom layer and amorphous silicon at the surface layer; in addition, the silicon material layer 1 also includes doping elements, such as phosphorus atoms or boron atoms.
[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, the single crystal silicon in the silicon material layer 1 is mainly P-type silicon. In this case, the doping element in the conductive area A2 in the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) is phosphorus atoms.
[0195] It should be noted that, in this specification, the transistor (MOS tube) is taken as an N-type MOS as an example for description.

[0200] In an exemplary embodiment, the material of the interlayer dielectric layer (ILD) may be an inorganic material, such as silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon oxide (SiO2), or silicon oxynitride (SiNxOy).
[0201] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the source-drain conductive layer 5 further includes a first trace Z1, a second trace Z2, and a third trace Z3, and the first trace Z1 is electrically connected to one of the second trace Z2 and the third trace Z3;
[0202] The first trace Z1 is electrically connected to the gate Gate of the transistor, the second trace Z2 is electrically connected to a conductive area A2 in the second semiconductor pattern 12 , and the third trace Z3 is electrically connected to another conductive area A2 in the second semiconductor pattern 12 .

[0206] Here, "at least partially overlapped" includes partial overlap and complete overlap. The meaning of the relevant descriptions in the following text is similar to that here and will not be repeated here.
[0207] In an exemplary embodiment, one of the conductive areas A2 in the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) may be electrically connected to at least one first extension S1 in the first electrode of the transistor through a via.
[0208] In some examples, to reduce contact resistance, two vias may be provided to electrically connect one of the conductive regions A2 in the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) and the first extension S1 in the first electrode (e.g., source S) of the transistor. For example, one of the vias is electrically connected to one first extension S1, and the other via is electrically connected to the other first extension S1.
[0209] The planar shape of the first extension portion S1 is not limited herein. For example, the planar shape of the first extension portion S1 may include two relatively parallel sides, such that the distance between any two points on two adjacent first extension portions S1 along the extension direction of the first connection portion S2 is equal. In other words, the two adjacent sides of the two adjacent first extension portions S1 are parallel.
[0210] The length and width of the first extension portion S1 are not limited here, wherein the length refers to the dimension of the first extension portion S1 along its extension direction, and the width refers to the dimension of the first extension portion S1 along the extension direction of the first connecting portion S2.

[0212] In some embodiments, an orthographic projection of the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) on the glass substrate 100 and an orthographic projection of the first connection portion S2 on the glass substrate 100 may be arranged to partially overlap.
[0213] In an exemplary embodiment, the first electrodes (eg, sources S) of all transistors in the switch structure may include an interdigital structure.
[0214] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 , for at least one transistor, the second electrode (e.g., drain) of the transistor includes an interdigitated structure; the second electrode (e.g., drain) of the transistor includes a second connecting portion D2 and N-3 second extensions D1 arranged in the same row; the second connecting portion D2 extends in the same direction as the first connecting portion S2, and the second extensions D1 are arranged in the same direction as the first extensions S1; the second connecting portion D2 is located on the same side of each of the second extensions D1 and connects the second extensions D1 together;

For example, one of the vias may be electrically connected to one second extension D1, and the other via may be electrically connected to the other second extension D1.
[0219] In an exemplary embodiment, the line widths (Width) of the second extension portion D1 and the second connection portion D2 may be set to be substantially equal.
[0220] In some embodiments, an orthographic projection of the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) on the glass substrate 100 and an orthographic projection of the second connection portion D2 on the glass substrate 100 may be arranged to partially overlap.
[0221] In an exemplary embodiment, the second electrodes (eg, drains D) of all transistors in the switch structure may include an interdigital structure.
[0222] In at least one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , for at least one transistor, the gate Gate of the transistor includes an interdigital structure;
[0223] The transistor gate Gate includes a third connection portion G2 and N third extension portions G1 arranged in the same row. The extension directions of the third connection portion G2 and the third extension portions G1 intersect. The third connection portion G2 is located on the same side of each third extension portion G1 and connects the third extension portions G1 together. The orthographic projection of each third extension portion G1 on the glass substrate 100 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first semiconductor pattern 11 (AL) on the glass substrate 100. Taking the area marked by the dotted circle in FIG. 5 as an example, the orthographic projections of the third connection portion G2 and all the second extension portions D1 on the glass substrate 100 partially overlap.
[0224] Along the extending direction of the third connecting portion G2 , the orthographic projections of the first extending portion S1 , the third extending portion G1 and the second extending portion D1 on the glass substrate 100 are alternately arranged in sequence.
[0225] In an exemplary embodiment, the length of the third extension G1 is less than the lengths of the first extension S1 and the second extension D1.

[0227] In the planar figure shown in Figure 5, any third extension portion G1 is located between the first extension portion S1 and the second extension portion D1. In order to improve the electrical properties of the transistor and ensure that the voltage of the gate Gate is the same as the magnitude of the lateral parasitic capacitance generated between the first electrode (for example, the source S) and the second electrode (for example, the drain D), it can be arranged in a plane parallel to the glass substrate 100. The distance between the third extension portion G1 and the adjacent first extension portion S1 and the distance between the third extension portion G1 and the adjacent second extension portion D1 are roughly equal, that is, the third extension portion G1 is located in the middle between the first extension portion S1 and the second extension portion D1.
[0228] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, a partial area of the third connection portion G2 (for example, as shown by the area marked by the rectangular dotted box in Figure 5) is located between the first extension portion S1 and the second connection portion D2. For this partial area of the third connection portion G2, along the extension direction of the first extension portion S1, the distance between this partial area of the third connection portion G2 of the gate Gate and the first extension portion S1 and the distance between this partial area of the third connection portion G2 and the second connection portion D2 can be set to be approximately equal.

[0231] The orthographic projection of the gate Gate of the transistor on the glass substrate 100 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first electrode (e.g., source S) of the transistor on the glass substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the gate Gate of the transistor on the glass substrate 100 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second electrode (e.g., drain D) of the transistor on the glass substrate 100.
[0232] In addition, as shown in FIG8 or FIG10 , the outer contour of the first opening K1 and the outer contour of the second opening K2 both include a combination of multiple straight line segments, a combination of straight line segments and arcs, or arcs.

[0236] In some examples, at least one of the interdigital structures of the first electrode (eg, source S) and the second electrode (eg, drain D) of the transistor may include a rounded structure.
[0237] In at least one embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 8 or Figure 10, the outer contour of the side of the first bending portion W1 where the first opening portion K1 is not set and the outer contour of the side of the second bending portion W2 where the second opening portion K2 is not set both include a combination of multiple straight line segments, a combination of straight line segments and arcs, or arcs.
[0238] For example, as shown in FIG8 , the outer contour of the side of the first bending portion W1 where the first opening portion K1 is not provided and the outer contour of the side of the second bending portion W2 where the second opening portion K2 is not provided both include a combination of multiple straight line segments. For example, the outer contour of the side of the first bending portion W1 where the first opening portion K1 is not provided and the outer contour of the side of the second bending portion W2 where the second opening portion K2 is not provided both include a right-angle structure.
[0239] For example, as shown in FIG10 , the outer contour of the side of the first bending portion W1 where the first opening portion K1 is not provided and the outer contour of the side of the second bending portion W2 where the second opening portion K2 is not provided both include a combination of straight line segments and arcs. For example, the outer contour of the side of the first bending portion W1 where the first opening portion K1 is not provided and the outer contour of the side of the second bending portion W2 where the second opening portion K2 is not provided both include rounded corner structures.
[0240] Exemplarily, the outer contour of the side of the first bending portion W1 without the first opening portion K1 and the outer contour of the side of the second bending portion W2 without the second opening portion K2 both include arcs. For example, the outer contour of the serpentine structure is entirely arcs.
