ABSTRACT:
A three-dimension inductor structure formed in a conventional integrated circuit technology has a direction of magnetic field perpendicular to the normal direction of the substrate of an applied integrated circuit. Due to the direction of the magnetic field, the electromagnetic interference induced by the three-dimension inductor structure affects other components in the same integrated circuit slightly. The three-dimension inductor structure includes an N-turn coil. Each turn coil in the N-turn coil includes a first-level metal line, a second-level metal line and third-level metal line. The three levels of metal lines are separated from one another by isolating layers. Two nearby levels of metal lines are connected through via plugs in the isolating layers between them. The integral coil is accomplished by connecting the second-level metal line of the Nth turn coil to the third-level metal line of the (N+1)th turn coil. Using the three-dimension structure, an integrated circuit of the radio frequency application can achieve a well integration. The three-dimension inductor structure also has the advantages of high quality factor and high inductance.
