摘要:
An inductor or transformer for use in integrated circuit devices that includes a high-resistivity substrate. The inductor includes a plurality of conductive traces around the substrate forming a continuous conductive path from a first to a second port. The conductive path can be solenoid-shaped. Some of the conductive traces can be formed during back-end-of-line processing or backside plating of an integrated circuit die. The transformer includes a first inductor with input and output ports, and a first continuous conductive path therebetween; and a second inductor with input and output ports, and a second continuous conductive path therebetween. The second inductor is independent of and electromagnetically coupled to the first inductor. The first and second conductive paths can be solenoid-shaped. The first conductive path can be interleaved with the second conductive path.

Electromechanical systems resonator structures, devices, circuits, and systems are disclosed. In one aspect, an oscillator includes an active component and a passive component connected in a feedback configuration. The passive component includes one or more contour mode resonators (CMR). A CMR includes a piezoelectric layer disposed between a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer. The conductive layers include an input electrode and an output electrode. The passive component is configured to output a first resonant frequency and a second resonant frequency, which is an odd integer harmonic of the first resonant frequency. The active component is configured to output a signal including the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency. This output signal can be a substantially square wave signal, which can serve as a clock in various applications.

This disclosure provides implementations of electromechanical systems resonator structures, devices, apparatus, systems, and related processes. In one aspect, resonator apparatus includes a first conductive layer including a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is coupled to receive a first input signal, and the second electrode is coupled to provide a first output signal. A piezoelectric layer includes a piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric layer has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is proximate the first conductive layer, and the second side is electrically isolated from ground. In some examples, the second side of the piezoelectric layer can be exposed and/or electrically de-coupled from one or more components.

An impedance matching circuit is disclosed. The impedance matching circuit includes two or more mutually coupled inductors. A total self inductance of the impedance matching circuit is less than a corresponding impedance matching circuit that includes inductors that are not mutually coupled. The two or more mutually coupled inductors may have known current ratios that match current ratios in the corresponding impedance matching circuit.

A through via inductor or transformer in a high-resistance substrate in an electronic package. In one embodiment, the package comprises a target inductor which includes a through-via formed in the substrate through which a signal passes and a tuner inductor which includes a through-via formed in the substrate such that the through-via has an independent signal passing therethrough. The direction of the signal passing through the tuner inductor can be independently controlled to adjust the total inductance of the target inductor. In another embodiment, a transformer can comprise a primary loop and a secondary loop, each of which includes a plurality of through-vias that are coupled to a plurality of conductive traces. The primary loop forms a first continuous conductive path and the secondary loop forms a second continuous conductive path. A signal passing through the primary loop can induce a signal in the secondary loop such that the induced signal is dependent on the transformer ratio.

A diversity receiver switch includes at least one second stage switch configured to communicate with a transceiver. The diversity receiver switch may also include at least one first stage switch coupled between a diversity receiver antenna and the second stage switch(es). The first stage switch(es) may be configured to handle a different amount of power than the second stage switch(es). The diversity receiver switch may include a bank of second stage switches configured to communicate with a transceiver. A first stage switch may be configured to handle more power than each switch in the bank of second stage switches. Alternatively, the diversity receiver switch include a bank of first stage switches coupled between the diversity receiver antenna and a second stage switch. The second stage switch may be configured to handle more power than each of the first stage switches.
