An inductor circuit with high quality (Q) factor includes a primary inductor and a compensation sub-circuit. The compensation sub-circuit is electrically isolated from the primary inductor. The compensation sub-circuit is magnetically coupled with the primary inductor to compensate the loss in the primary inductor.

摘要:
A new method of fabricating an inductor utilizing air as an underlying barrier in the manufacturing of integrated circuits is described. A field oxide region is formed in and on a semiconductor substrate and then removed whereby a well is left in the semiconductor substrate. A polish stop layer is deposited over the substrate and within the well. The polish stop layer is covered and the well filled with a spin-on-glass layer. The spin-on-glass layer is polished back to the polish stop layer. The said polish stop layer is removed. A first oxide layer is deposited overlying the spin-on-glass layer and the semiconductor substrate and is patterned using an inductor reticle whereby a plurality of openings are made through the first oxide layer to the spin-on-glass layer. All of the spin-on-glass layer within the well is removed through the plurality of openings. Thereafter, a second oxide layer is deposited overlying the first oxide layer and capping the plurality of openings thereby forming an air barrier within the well. A metal layer is deposited overlying the second oxide layer and patterned using the same inductor reticle to form the inductor in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.
摘要:
In this invention a single additional capacitor is added to a tuned cascode LNA which boosts the circuit Q and the gain of the amplifier. The added capacitor creates a negative real part of the impedance which when combined with the impedance of the LC tank circuit improves both the Q and the gain of the amplifier. The capacitor does not dissipate any power, and being a passive device the capacitor does not add additional noise to the circuit. With an improved gain there is a much improved signal to noise ratio. The higher Q allows the amplifier to provide some additional bandpass and reduce image reduction requirements in subsequent amplifier stages.
