Simple Method for Calculating Backside Via Inductance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Backside via self-inductance is a critical electrical quantity needed for the design of Monolithic Millimeter-wave Integrated Circuits (MMIC). We have investigated a simple, analytical method for accurately calculating via inductance based upon physical geometry. The analytical method enables backside via process development to be tailored to meet design goals. Conversely, the sensitivity of RF performance yield to via process variation can also be evaluated.

Backside wafer planarization methods are discussed in GaAs substrates. First method uses an epoxy based polymer to fill 10 mils deep via structures while the second method demonstrates a solidly filled 3.5mils deep metal vias. The planarization step is accomplished with a lapping and polishing step which exposes the via connection to the frontside. As a result high definition photolithography i...
متن کاملNumerical Inductance Calculations Based on First Principles
A method of calculating inductances based on first principles is presented, which has the advantage over the more popular simulators in that fundamental formulas are explicitly used so that a deeper understanding of the inductance calculation is obtained with no need for explicit discretization of the inductor. It also has the advantage over the traditional method of formulas or table lookups i...
متن کاملMutual Inductance and Force Exerted between Thick Coils
Abstract—We present exact three-dimensional semi-analytical expressions of the force exerted between two coaxial thick coils with rectangular cross-sections. Then, we present a semi-analytical formulation of their mutual inductance. For this purpose, we have to calculate six and seven integrations for calculating the force and the mutual inductance respectively. After mathematical manipulations...
