A semiconductor diode includes a semiconductor substrate having a lightly doped region with a first conductivity type therein. A first heavily doped region with a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type is in the lightly doped region. A second heavily doped region with the first conductivity type is in the lightly doped region and is in direct contact with the first heavily doped region. A first metal silicide layer is on the semiconductor substrate and is in direct contact with the first heavily doped region. A second metal silicide layer is on the semiconductor substrate and is in direct contact with the second heavily doped region. The second metal silicide layer is spaced apart from the first metal silicide layer.
摘要:
An integrated inductor includes a winding consisting of an aluminum layer atop a passivation layer, wherein the aluminum layer does not extend into the passivation layer and has a thickness that is not less than about 2.0 micrometers. The passivation layer has a thickness not less than about 0.8 micrometers. By eliminating copper from the integrated inductor and increasing the thickness of the passivation layer, the distance between the bottom surface of the inductor structure and the main surface of the semiconductor substrate is increased, thus the parasitic substrate coupling may be reduced and the Q-factor may be improved. Besides, the increased thickness of the aluminum layer may help improve the Q-factor as well.
