Description
本申请涉及集成电路技术领域,尤其涉及一种电感器件布线架构、一种集成电路以及一种通信设备。
随着无线通信技术的迅猛发展,射频集成电路(radio frequency integrated circuit,RFIC)变得越来越重要,射频集成电路可以是一种工作在300兆赫兹(MHz)~300吉赫兹(GHz)频率范围内的集成电路。随着最新的第5代移动通信的到来,信号的频率将大大提高,这将为人们带来更加快速的通信体验,同时也给射频集成电路带来更大挑战和机遇。
集成电路通过金属导线将多层电子元器件层进行连接,以形成完整的逻辑电路。基于化学机械研磨(chemical mechanical polishing,CMP)工艺,集成电路中各层金属导线的成型质量与金属导线的底层金属层的金属排布面积紧密相关。若金属导线的底层金属层的金属排布面积不足,则金属导线的良率不佳,容易造成线路短路。
为解决这一问题,通常的做法是在金属导线的底层金属中增加虚拟金属(dummy metal),以提高金属排布面积。然而,当金属导线用作电感器件时,电感器件下方的虚拟金属会对电感器件性能造成影响,导致电感器件性能不佳。

在本实施例中,由于在远离所述电感器件的方向上,所述电感器件下方的所述多层金属层的至少两层金属层对应的虚拟金属的排布面积递增。此时,靠近所述电感器件的所述金属层对应的虚拟金属的排布面积较小,远离所述电感器件的所述金属层对应的虚拟金属的排布面积较大。也即,位于所述电感器件下方的所述多个虚拟金属在排布时,尽量远离所述电感器件,靠近所述电感器件的区域的所述虚拟金属较少,远离所述电感器件的区域的所述虚拟金属较多,从而降低所述虚拟金属对所述电感器件性能的不良影响、甚至不影响所述电感器件性能。并且,所述电感器件下方的各层金属层具有较为足够的金属排布面积,能够满足化学机械抛光的加工需求,从而提高加工质量,使得所述电感器件布线架构 及应用所述电感器件布线架构的集成电路的产品良率较高。

该通信设备包括集成电路(integrated circuit,IC)。例如,通信设备包括高频集成电路(high frequency integrated circuit,HFIC)。该高频集成电路是工作频率大于100兆赫兹(MHz)的集成电路。例如,该高频集成电路可以为射频集成电路(radio frequency integrated circuit,RFIC)。射频集成电路可以工作在300兆赫兹至300吉赫兹(GHz)范围内,用以实现特定的射频功能。
一种实施例中,集成电路包括电感器件布线架构。电感器件布线架构包括电感器件。电感器件是集成电路最主要的器件之一,它和电阻、电容、金属氧化物半导体场效晶体管 (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect Transistor,MOSFET)、双极结型晶体管(bipolar junction transistor,BJT)、二极管等器件一起通过特殊电路结构相连,共同组成了集成电路。该集成电路具有控制、计算、记忆等功能。
其中,集成电路可以包括一个或多个电路模块。该电路模块可以包括但不限于电压控振荡模块(Voltage Control Oscillator,VCO)、低噪声放大模块(Low-noise Amplifier,LNA)、混频模块(mixer)、跨阻放大模块(trans-impedance amplifier,TIA)、可变增益放大模块(variable gain amplifier,VGA)或驱动模块(driver)中的一者或多者。电感器件在这些电路模块中应用广泛。
请参阅图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种集成电路100的结构示意图。
一种实施例中,集成电路100包括衬底110及形成在衬底110上的多层金属层120和多层绝缘层130。任意相邻的两层金属层120之间均设置有至少一层绝缘层130。衬底110可采用硅材料、玻璃材料或陶瓷材料。金属层120的材料可包括铜、铝、银、镍、金、钛、铟、钨或其合金中的一种或多种。绝缘层130的材料可包括电绝缘聚合物、电绝缘陶瓷或介电材料中的一种或多种。
金属层120为图案化金属层。图案化金属层的成型方式可以有多种,例如:
一种实施方式中,图案化金属层的制作方法包括:首先,在绝缘基材上依据图案化金属层的版图形成凹槽。然后,在绝缘基材上沉积金属(metal deposition),使金属材料填充凹槽且溢出到凹槽外。接着,通过化学机械抛光(chemical-mechanical polishing,CMP)方式去除溢出到凹槽外的金属材料。此时,留在凹槽中的金属材料共同形成图案化金属层。
另一种实施方式中,图案化金属层的制作方法包括:先沉积形成一层金属薄膜,然后在金属薄膜上面沉积光阻,接着通过掩膜版(mask)做曝光、显影(photolithography)及刻蚀(etching)处理、以图案化金属薄膜,最后平面化处理图案化后的金属薄膜,以形成图案化金属层。平面化处理通常采用化学机械抛光的方式。
故而,在图案化金属层的成型步骤中,通常都需要在最后的步骤中进行化学机械抛光处理。而化学机械抛光处理的完成度通常依赖于待处理金属层的金属排布面积、和待处理金属层的底层金属层的金属排布面积,若金属排布面积不足,则容易出现少研磨现象,而导致图案化金属层的产品良率很低。
一种实施例中,集成电路100包括电感器件布线架构10。电感器件布线架构10为集成电路100的一部分。电感器件布线架构10包括部分金属层120和部分绝缘层130。电感器件布线架构10在集成电路100的制备过程中,与集成电路100的其他部分同步成型。电感器件布线架构10的具体层数可以少于或等于集成电路100的层数。
一种实施例中,电感器件布线架构10包括电感器件和位于电感器件下方的多个虚拟金属(dummy metal)。电感器件布线架构10可层叠设置多层金属层。电感器件布线架构10的金属层为对应的金属层120的一部分,电感器件布线架构10的金属层也为图案化金属层。电感器件排布于电感器件布线架构10的顶层金属层。电感器件下方的多个虚拟金属排布于电感器件下方的多层金属层中。位于电感器件下方的多层金属层中的每层金属层、对应位于电感器件下方的多个虚拟金属中的部分虚拟金属。在远离电感器件的方向上,电感器件下方的多层金属层的至少两层金属层对应的虚拟金属的排布面积递增。此时,靠近电感器 件的金属层对应的虚拟金属的排布面积较小,远离电感器件的金属层对应的虚拟金属的排布面积较大。也即,位于电感器件下方的多个虚拟金属在排布时,尽量远离(keep put from)电感器件,靠近电感器件的区域的虚拟金属较少,远离电感器件的区域的虚拟金属较多,从而降低虚拟金属对电感器件性能的不良影响、甚至不影响电感器件性能。并且,电感器件下方的各层金属层具有较为足够的金属排布面积,能够满足化学机械抛光的加工需求,从而提高加工质量,使得电感器件布线架构10及应用电感器件布线架构10的集成电路的产品良率较高。
下面通过具体实施例进行介绍。
请一并参阅图2和图3,图2是图1所示电感器件布线架构10在第一实施例中的俯视图,图3是图2所示电感器件布线架构10的部分结构沿A-A线处剖开的截面示意图。其中,为了更清楚地表达图3中的结构,图3中各金属层2中的虚拟金属3的数量略有删减,但是整体排布规律不变。
电感器件布线架构10包括电感器件1及位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3。在本申请中,“下方”仅是参考附加图式的方向,因此,使用的方向用语是为了说明及理解本申请,而不是指示或暗指所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。例如,结合参阅图1和图3,在集成电路100中,电感器件1可排布在集成电路100的顶层金属层120上。电感器件1的下方是指电感器件1朝向集成电路100的衬底110的一侧空间。也即,位于电感器件1下方的结构或部件位于电感器件1与衬底110之间。
电感器件1下方包括电感器件1的布线区域(如图2中电感器件1的外周虚线框所示意)的下方。也即,电感器件1下方的空间包括:电感器件1的布线区域沿电感器件1所在平面的垂直方向投影的空间。电感器件1的布线区域覆盖整个电感器件1。电感器件1的布线区域至少包括:电感器件1的最外圈走线的外边缘所围绕区域。其中,在实际使用中,前述“垂直方向”不限定是严格的与电感器件1所在平面之间成90°夹角的方向,也可以是接近90°的方向。电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3位于电感器件1下方的空间内。
电感器件布线架构10包括层叠设置的多层金属层2。金属层2为对应的集成电路100的金属层120的一部分。电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3排布在电感器件1下方的多层金属层2中。电感器件1下方的多层金属层2中的每层金属层2均包括对应的多个虚拟金属3,以提高金属层2的金属排布面积。电感器件1下方的多层金属层2为电感器件1的底层结构。
在本实施例中,电感器件1下方的金属层2对应的多个虚拟金属3彼此间隔设置。在其他实施例中,两个或两个以上虚拟金属3也可以合并成一个连续的、面积较大的虚拟金属。例如,可以将图2所示实施例中的断开的多个虚拟金属3合并成一个连续的虚拟金属。
其中,位于相邻两层金属层2中的虚拟金属3之间,可以通过过孔内的导电材料实现连接,也可以彼此之间无连接关系。
本实施例中,电感器件1位于第一层金属层21。由于电感器件1设于第一层金属层21,因此能够加工成较大厚度,从而降低电阻,提高品质因子Q。电感器件1下方具有第二层金属层22至第五层金属层25。第二层金属层22至第五层金属层25为电感器件1的底层 结构。电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3排布在第二层金属层22、第三层金属层23、第四次金属层24及第五层金属层25中。
电感器件布线架构10还包括排布在电感器件1所在金属层2的多个虚拟金属3。例如,本实施例中,第一层金属层21还包括多个虚拟金属3,多个虚拟金属3围绕电感器件1设置,且远离电感器件1设置。其中,当电感器件1环绕出一个面积较大的中部空间时,中部空间也可以排布虚拟金属3。
其中,在远离电感器件1的方向(如图3中Z向)上,位于电感器件1下方的至少两层金属层2对应的虚拟金属的排布面积递增。金属层2对应的虚拟金属的排布面积为金属层2中、位于电感器件1下方的虚拟金属3的总排布面积。虚拟金属3的排布面积较大的金属层2的金属排布比例较大。此时,位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3在靠近电感器件1的区域排布较少,而在远离电感器件1的区域排布较多,从而降低对电感器件1的性能的不良影响。并且,由于电感器件1下方的金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积呈递增区域,因此电感器件1下方的金属层2大致呈现对应虚拟金属3的排布面积递增的趋势(也即大致呈上疏下密的趋势),因此电感器件布线架构10的各层金属层2具有较为足够的金属排布面积,能够满足化学机械抛光的加工需求,使得第一层金属层21具有良好的平坦化,电感器件1的金属残留很少、加工质量高,从而降低电路发生短路的风险,使得电感器件布线架构10及应用电感器件布线架构10的集成电路100的产品良率较高。简言之,电感器件布线架构10能够在减少虚拟金属3对电感器件1的电感器件性能产生的不良影响的情况下,增加各层金属层2的金属排布面积,从而提高产品良率。
其中,位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3呈阶梯状排布。也即,位于电感器件1下方的多层金属层2中,位于下方的金属层2对应的虚拟金属3相对于位于上方的金属层2对应的虚拟金属3伸出而形成阶梯形状。例如,在图3中,第三层金属层23对应的虚拟金属3相对第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3伸出而形成阶梯形状。
图2中通过对电感器件布线架构10中位于不同金属层2的虚拟金属3填充不同的图案以进行区分。其中,第一层金属层21的电感器件1和虚拟金属3填充黑色图案,第二层金属层22的虚拟金属3填充倾斜线,第三层金属层23的虚拟金属3不填充图案(也即白色底色)。在本实施例中,多层金属层2中的虚拟金属3对齐排列,则底层结构的虚拟金属3会被顶层结构的虚拟金属3所遮挡,例如第二层金属层22中的部分虚拟金属3被第一层金属层21中的虚拟金属3遮挡。第二层金属层22中的部分虚拟金属3相对第一层金属层21中的虚拟金属3伸出,相对伸出的这部分虚拟金属3则露出。
在本实施例中,由于位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3呈阶梯状排布,因此多个虚拟金属3能够有效改善电感器件1下方的金属排布情况,使得电感器件1在化学机械抛光工艺过程中获得较高的制作精度,电感器件布线架构10及应用该电感器件布线架构10的集成电路100的产品良率更高,并且位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3能够尽量不排布在靠近电感器件1的区域,而排布在远离电感器件1的区域,从而减少虚拟金属3对电感器件1的电感器件性能的不良影响,使得电感器件1的性能更佳。
其中,排布于电感器件1所在金属层2的部分虚拟金属3与排布于电感器件1下方的虚拟金属3也可以呈阶梯状排布。例如,图3中,第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3相对 第一层金属层21对应的虚拟金属3伸出而形成阶梯形状。
例如:
如图3所示,第一层金属层21的多个虚拟金属3部分围绕电感器件1设置、部分排布于电感器件1所环绕的中部空间中。位于电感器件1的中部空间的虚拟金属3中最靠近电感器件1的虚拟金属3与电感器件1之间形成间距S1。位于电感器件1的中部空间的相邻的两个虚拟金属3之间形成间距S2。S1大于S2。此时,第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3对电感器件1的性能影响较小,电感器件1的电感性能较佳。同样的,位于电感器件1外周的部分虚拟金属3中与电感器件1之间的间距,大于位于电感器件1外周的相邻两个虚拟金属3之间的间距。
在本实施例中,第一层金属层21的多个虚拟金属3可以等间距排布、也可以不等间距排布,本申请对此不做严格限定。其中,本申请中相邻的两个虚拟金属3之间的“间距”是指位于电感器件1同一侧的两个虚拟金属3之间的间距。
在本实施例中,第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3大致呈阵列排布(阵列中的部分区域不排布虚拟金属3),相邻两个虚拟金属3之间的间距大致相等。其他实施例中,第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3也可以有其他排布方式,例如大致呈扩散环形排布、或者零散随机排布等。
第二层金属层22对应的多个虚拟金属3尽量远离电感器件1。例如,第二层金属层22在电感器件1的某段走线的斜下方排布虚拟金属3,以尽量增加第二层金属层22的金属排布面积,从而提高电感器件布线架构10的产品良率,且对电感器件1的性能影响较小。在第二层金属层22中,靠近电感器件1的某段走线的正下方空间的两个虚拟金属3之间的间距S4大于或等于相邻的两个虚拟金属3之间的间隙S5。
在本实施例中,第二层金属层22对应的部分虚拟金属3相对第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3伸出,第一层金属层21和第二层金属层22中靠近电感器件1的多个虚拟金属3大致呈阶梯状排布。
本实施例中,第二层金属层22的虚拟金属3的结构及尺寸设计可参考第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3。例如,S5等于S2。其他实施例中,第二层金属层22的虚拟金属3的结构及尺寸可设计也可以与第一层金属层21的虚拟金属不同。
其中,S1可以在1微米(μm)至15微米范围内。S1可以依据电感器件1所产生的电磁场范围进行设定。S2可以在0.1微米至10微米范围内。电感器件1的某段走线的宽度为W1。W1可以在1微米至20微米的范围内。虚拟金属3的宽度为W2。W2可以在0.1微米至10微米的范围内。在电感器件布线架构10的厚度方向(也即Z向)上,虚拟金属3的厚度为T1。T1可以在0.1微米至4微米的范围内。其中,虚拟金属3可采用铜或铝材料。电感器件1可采用铜或铝材料。电感器件1的材料与第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3的材料相同。
第三层金属层23对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积大于第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积。第三层金属层23对应的部分虚拟金属3相对第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3伸出。本实施例中,第一层金属层21、第二层金属层22及第三层金属层23中的多个虚拟金属3呈阶梯状排布。
其中,第三层金属层23中的其中一个虚拟金属3位于电感器件1的某段走线正下方,该虚拟金属3与电感器件1的该段走线之间的间距为S3。其中,S3可以在1微米至15微米范围内。S3可以依据电感器件1的电磁场范围进行设计。
其中,第三层金属层23的虚拟金属3的结构及尺寸设计可参考第一层金属层21的虚拟金属3。其他实施例中,第三层金属层23的虚拟金属3的结构及尺寸可设计也可以与第一层金属层21的虚拟金属不同。
在本实施例中,电感器件布线架构10还包括多层介质层4。介质层4为对应的绝缘层130的一部分。相邻的两层金属层2之间均设置有介质层4。当金属层2中的虚拟金属3之间形成间隙时,间隙内填充绝缘材料以形成绝缘部分,该绝缘部分连接介质层4。
其中,电感器件布线架构10的各层介质层4的厚度可以相同。例如,如图3所示,介质层4的厚度为T2。T2可以在0.1微米至4微米范围内。
如图2和图3所示,本实施例中,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3主要以呈现阶梯状的方式进行排布。其他实施例中,在满足加工需求和性能要求的情况下,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3也可以呈现其他排布方式。
如图2和图3所示,本实施例中,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3具有大致相同的形状和大小。其他实施例中,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3也可以具有不同的形状和不同的大小。同样的,与位于电感器件1同层设置的多个虚拟金属3可以与电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3具有大致相同的形状和大小,也可以不同。
如图2所示,本实施例中,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3呈方形。其他实施例中,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3也可以是长条形、三角形、圆形、椭圆形、多边形、特殊形状等。本申请不对虚拟金属3的形状和大小做严格限定。
一种实施例中,电感器件布线架构10还包括位于多层金属层2下方的多晶硅(polycrystalline silicon)层(图未示出)。多晶硅层中包括多个多晶硅,用作集成电路100的PN结(将P型半导体与N型半导体制作在同一块半导体基片上,在它们的交界面就形成空间电荷区称为PN结,即PN junction)的栅极。多个多晶硅的排布也需要满足化学机械研磨的加工需求,以使多层金属层2平坦化。多个多晶硅的排布规律参阅前述多个虚拟金属3的排布规律。例如,当多晶硅层与电感器件1的距离较近时,多晶硅层中的多晶硅呈现远离电感器件1的趋势排布。具体的,多晶硅层中的多晶硅的排布面积和位于电感器件1下方的金属层2对应虚拟金属3的排布面积在远离电感器件1的方向上递增。多个多晶硅可以与位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3共同呈现阶梯状排布。
进一步地,在本申请中,电感器件布线架构10的电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3在满足:在远离电感器件1的方向上呈现由梳到密的排布规律时,可以有多种排布方式,例如:
一种排布方式中,在电感器件1下方,每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的个数均为多个,且每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列。换言之,电感器件1下方的虚拟金属3与位于其上方或下方的虚拟金属3大致呈彼此错开的位置关系。此时,位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3的排布较为规律,有利于降低设计成本和生产成本。
另一种排布方式中,在电感器件1下方,每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的个数均为多个,且每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3或对齐排列。换言之,电感器件1下方的虚拟金属3与位于其上方或下方的虚拟金属3大致呈彼此正对的位置关系。此时,位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3的排布较为规律,有利于降低设计成本和生产成本。
再一种排布方式中,在电感器件1下方,每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的个数均为多个,且一层或多层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列,一层或多层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3对齐排列。此时,电感器件布线架构10的电感器件1下方的部分虚拟金属3对齐排列、部分虚拟金属3交叉排列,丰富了虚拟金属3的排布方式,使得电感器件布线架构10的排布方式更为多样化。
具体的:
在图2和图3所示的第一实施例中,在电感器件1下方,每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻的金属层2对应的虚拟金属3对齐排列。例如,第二层金属层22至第五层金属层25所对应的虚拟金属3对齐排列。一种实施例中,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3的尺寸相同,则每层金属层2对应的相邻的两个虚拟金属3之间的间距相等,例如S5=S2。
请一并参阅图4和图5,图4是图1所示电感器件布线架构10在第二实施例中的俯视图,图5是图4所示电感器件布线架构10的部分结构沿B-B线处剖开的截面示意图。其中,为了更清楚地表达图5中的结构,图5中各金属层2中的虚拟金属3的数量略有删减,但是整体排布规律不变。本实施例中与前述实施例相同的大部分技术内容不再赘述。
在第二实施例中,在电感器件1下方,每层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻的金属层2对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列。此时,电感器件1下方的层结构具有更均匀的金属排布面积,有利于提高电感器件1的加工精度,使得电感器件布线架构10的产品良率更高。
本实施例中,电感器件布线架构10包括第一层金属层21、第二层金属层22、第三层金属层23、第四层金属层24及第五层金属层25。电感器件1下方的第二层金属层22、第三层金属层23、第四层金属层24及第五层金属层25对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列。电感器件1所在的第一层金属层21的部分虚拟金属3与电感器件1下方的金属层(22/23/24/25)对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列。
请参阅图6,图6是图1所示电感器件布线架构10在第三实施例中的部分结构示意图。本实施例中与前述实施例相同的大部分技术内容不再赘述。
在第三实施例中,电感器件布线架构10包括电感器件1所在的第一层金属层21和位于电感器件1下方的多层金属层(第二层金属层22至第九层金属层29)。在远离电感器件1的方向Z上,第二层金属层22至第六层金属层26对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积递增。
在电感器件1下方,一层或多层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列,且一层或多层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3对齐排列。例如,第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3、第三层金属层23对应的虚拟金属3及第四层金属层24对应的虚拟金属3对齐排列。第四层金属层24、第五层金属层25、第六层金属层26、第七层金属层27、第八层金属层28及第九层金属层29中,相 邻的两层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列。此时,电感器件布线架构10中的位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3的排布方式更为多样化。
其中,第一层金属层21的部分虚拟金属3与第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3交叉排列。其他实施例中,第一层金属层21的部分虚拟金属3与第二层金属层22对应的虚拟金属3对齐排列。本申请不对电感器件布线架构10的多层金属层2的虚拟金属3的排布方式做严格限定。
进一步地,在本申请中,电感器件1下方的多层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积的关系有多种实施方式,例如:
一种实施方式中,电感器件1下方的多层金属层2中,彼此相邻设置的至少三层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积在远离电感器件1的方向Z上递增。此时,电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3呈现连续的阶梯状,有利于进一步改善电感器件布线架构10的加工质量,且电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3对电感器件1的性能影响更小。
另一种实施方式中,电感器件1下方的第i金属层对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积等于第i-1金属层对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积。第i金属层位于第i-1金属层远离电感器件1的一侧,也即第i金属层位于第i-1金属层的下方。i为整数且大于或等于2。
在本实施方式中,电感器件布线架构10在满足大体呈由梳到密的排布规律时,电感器件1的下方包括对应虚拟金属3的排布面积相同的两层金属层2,使得电感器件布线架构10中位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3的排布灵活性更高,排布方式更为多样化。其中,电感器件布线架构10中可以存在一组对应虚拟金属3的排布面积相同的两层金属层2,也可以是两组以上(包括本数)对应虚拟金属3的排布面积相同的两层金属层2。电感器件布线架构10中也可以存在对应虚拟金属3的排布面积相同的三层以上(包括本数)的金属层2。
其中,第i金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3等间距排布,且相邻两个虚拟金属3之间的排布间距为第i间距;第i-1金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3等间距排布,且相邻两个虚拟金属3之间的排布间距为第i-1间距;第i-1间距小于或等于第i间距。当第i-1间距小于第i间距时,虽然第i金属层对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积没有递增,但是第i金属层的多个虚拟金属3的排布范围较大、排布较为均匀,因此能够有效提高金属层2的加工质量,使得电感器件布线架构10的产品良率较高。当然,在其他实施例中,第i金属层和第i-1金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3的排布方式和排布间距也可以与上述方案不同,而依据需求设置。
再一种实施方式中,电感器件1下方的第j金属层对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积小于第j-1金属层对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积。第j金属层位于第j-1金属层远离电感器件1的一侧,即第j金属层位于第j-1金属层的下方。j为整数且大于或等于2。
在本实施方式中,电感器件布线架构10在满足大体呈由梳到密的排布规律时,电感器件1的下方包括对应虚拟金属3的排布面积倒置的两层金属层2,使得电感器件布线架构10中位于电感器件1下方的多个虚拟金属3的排布灵活性更高,排布方式更为多样化。其中,电感器件布线架构10中可以存在一组对应虚拟金属3的排布面积倒置的两层金属层2,也可以是两组以上(包括本数)对应虚拟金属3的排布面积倒置的两层金属层2。电感器件布线架构10中也可以存在对应虚拟金属3的排布面积倒置的三层以上(包括本数)的金 属层2。
其中,第j金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3等间距排布,且相邻两个虚拟金属3之间的排布间距为第j间距;第j-1金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3等间距排布,且相邻两个虚拟金属3之间的排布间距为第j-1间距;第j-1间距小于或等于第j间距。当第j-1间距小于第j间距时,对应虚拟金属3的排布面积较小的第j金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3的排布范围较大、排布较为均匀,能够有效提高金属层2的加工质量,使得电感器件布线架构10的产品良率较高。当然,在其他实施例中,第j金属层和第j-1金属层对应的多个虚拟金属3的排布方式和排布间距也可以与上述方案不同,而依据需求设置。
换言之,当电感器件1下方的多层金属层2中,至少两层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积在远离电感器件1的方向上递增时,一层或多层金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积可以与相邻金属层2对应的虚拟金属3的排布面积相同或递减(在远离电感器件1的方向Z上)。此时,电感器件布线架构10也能够获得较高的产品良率。
其中,上述三种实施方式可以独立使用或组合使用。
