2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an integrated circuit in which a circuit having different functions such as a high-power amplifier circuit, a low-noise amplifier circuit, a mixer, and a modulator / demodulator circuit using a silicon substrate is constructed in one chip is rarely used. This is because the performance required for each circuit is different, and the substrate and element structure used for each circuit are unique to each circuit. For example, in an IC such as a mixer or a modulation / demodulation circuit, a substrate having a relatively high electric resistance (about 10 Ω · cm) is used to form an element or a circuit on its surface. However, in an element for a high-power amplifier circuit, the back surface of the substrate is a ground conductor. In the case of FET, the source is grounded, and in the case of bipolar, the grounded emitter is used. Therefore, a substrate having a relatively low electric resistance (about 0.02 Ω · cm) is used. Also,
When an impedance matching circuit composed of a distributed constant line such as a microstrip line or a coplanar line in a high frequency region is provided on a conductive semiconductor substrate such as a silicon substrate, generally, first, a dielectric such as SiO 2 is formed on the semiconductor substrate. An example in which a body layer is formed and a line is formed on the conductor layer by a metal is a society
Vol. 53-B No. 10).
Hereinafter, a conventional technique of a method of configuring an impedance matching circuit of a high output amplifier circuit will be described by taking a Si-MOSFET generally used as a semiconductor element in a high frequency region as an example. The structure of the Si-MOSFET is shown in FIG.
The figure shows the AA 'cross section. In the figure, 1-1 is a game
Electrode 1-2, source electrode 1-2, drain electrode 1-3. Reference numeral 1-4 is an interlayer insulating film, and generally SiO 2 or PSG is often used. 1-5 is a high resistance layer for forming an element, which is formed by ion implantation or the like on a low resistance substrate,
Generally, the thickness is several μm and the electric resistance is 1 Ω · cm or more.
Reference numeral 1-6 is a low resistance layer for reducing the source resistance, and a thickness of 100 μm or more and 0.1 Ω · cm or less is generally used. Further, 1-7 is a ground conductor formed of a metal layer provided on the back surface of the substrate. Below the source electrode 1-2, a hole of a low resistance layer is provided to reduce the resistance when the source is grounded. FIG. 6 shows a sectional structure when a microstrip line is connected to the gate electrode and the drain electrode of the Si-MOSFET. The interlayer insulating film is used as a dielectric layer, and the metal layers of the gate electrode and the drain electrode are used as they are as conductors of the line.

In the MMIC having the conventional structure as shown in FIG. 6, the microstrip lines 1-1 and 1-3 are line conductors and the insulating film 1-4 is a dielectric layer. Although it works, the silicon substrate, which is a conductive semiconductor substrate of 1-5, seems to act as an intermediate between the dielectric layer and the lower conductor (earth conductor), but in any case, the loss of the microstrip line is greatly increased. increase. In order to prevent this loss from increasing, the insulating film 1-4 may be thickened. Generally, SiO 2 or PSG is often used for this film and the thickness is generally 10 μm or less. Is extremely difficult. Further, if the insulating curtain is thin, the characteristic impedance of the microstrip line becomes extremely low, which makes circuit design difficult. In addition, even if a spiral inductance is formed, the silicon substrate will greatly increase the loss. Therefore, if the electrical resistance of the silicon substrate is increased and this layer can be used as a dielectric layer with low loss, a matching circuit with low loss can be realized. Also,
Since the mixer and the modulation / demodulation circuit do not need to reduce the circuit loss as much as the high output amplification circuit and the low noise amplification circuit, the circuit may be formed on the surface of a commonly used high resistance silicon substrate.

Therefore, in order to reduce the loss of the microstrip line, it is important to reduce the dielectric loss of the dielectric and use a wide line conductor to reduce the conductor loss. The characteristic impedance of the microstrip line becomes lower as the line conductor width becomes wider and the dielectric layer becomes thinner. For example, the dielectric layer is SiO 2 and the thickness is 5 μm
In the case of, the line width of 50Ω becomes about 9 μm, and if this is left as it is, the line width becomes thin and the conductor loss becomes large. Further, if the line width is increased to reduce the conductor loss, the characteristic impedance decreases (about 50Ω when the line width is 50 μm), which makes circuit design difficult. Therefore, increasing the width of the line conductor without increasing the thickness of the dielectric layer and lowering the characteristic impedance has become an effective means. Further, in order to reduce the loss of the spiral inductor, it is effective to increase the thickness of the dielectric substrate and increase the electric resistivity of the substrate. For this reason,
Using a silicon substrate with a structure in which silicon substrates with different electrical resistivities are bonded together, the mixer, modulator / demodulator circuit, high-power amplifier circuit, and low-noise amplifier circuit matching circuit section are formed on the silicon substrate with the higher electrical resistivity. However, it is advantageous to use a substrate having a low electrical resistivity in terms of its element structure, such as a high-power amplifier element or a low-noise amplifier element,
A single-chip integrated circuit can be formed without deteriorating individual characteristics by adopting a structure in which a silicon substrate having a high electric resistivity is partially removed to form a silicon substrate having a low electric resistivity. It becomes feasible.
