Method of manufacturing an inductor in a semiconductor device
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an inductor in a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing an inductor in a semiconductor device in which a trench is formed in a semiconductor device and a wiring of an inductor is disposed thereon, .
Generally, as an item for evaluating characteristics of an inductor, there is a Q factor (Q factor) for evaluating a signal transfer characteristic, a resonance frequency representing an operation frequency of the device, and an insertion loss indicating a loss ratio of an amount of power in the device.
Q = Im (Zin) / I (Zin) where Im (Zin) is an imaginary component value of the inductance of the inductor and Zin is a real component value of the inductance of the inductor. Re (Zin). If the Q value is high, it can be matched with a small loss and can be efficiently used in designing an oscillator.
On the other hand, because the reflection coefficient at the input S of the inductor 11 and, when the transfer coefficient of the output to the input of the inductor 21 as S, is represented by an insertion loss = │S 21 │ 2/1- │S 11 │ 2.
In other words, the insertion loss is the amount of power lost in the device, which must also have a small value to reduce the circuit loss.
Since the parasitic capacitance of S 11 and S 22 , which are the reflection coefficient items of the inductance, the imaginary component becomes negative due to the parasitic capacitance, the inductor becomes the capacitor instead of the inductor and the inductor from this frequency. The higher the better.
The equivalent circuit of the inductor in the semiconductor device is shown in Fig. Fig L is the inductance of the inductor to be designed at 1, R s is a metal resistance of the inductor, C f is a coupling capacitance between the metal, Cp 1, Cp 2 is the leakage capacitance of the input and output side which is determined according to the properties of the substrate, respectively And Rp1 and Rp2 are leakage resistances on the input and output sides, respectively, which are determined according to the characteristics of the substrate. These equivalent components greatly affect the resonance frequency and the insertion loss value.
The Q value increases with increasing frequency in the low frequency range, but Q decreases by the parasitic capacitor in the high frequency range. The resonance frequency value increases as the values of the leakage capacitances Cp 1 and Cp 2 decrease. The smaller the values of the leakage capacitances Cp 1 and Cp 2 and the values of the leakage resistances Rp 1 and Rp 2 are, the smaller the hand loss is.
However, since the inductance element formed in the conventional CMOS is usually formed by forming a thin insulating layer on a substrate or a conductive layer and patterning the inductance element on the insulating layer of the thin film, the leakage capacitances Cp 1 and Cp 2 Value and the leakage resistances Rp 1 and Rp 2 are large, the Q value, insertion loss, and resonance frequency characteristics of the inductor described above are inferior, so that it can not cope with the application of a high frequency integrated circuit which gradually increases.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, And to provide a manufacturing method of an inductor capable of significantly reducing leakage capacitor components.
