差動可變電容元件Differential variable capacitance element

本發明係關於一種差動可變電容元件。The present invention relates to a differential variable capacitance element.

在現代化資訊產業中,各種數據、資料、訊息、影像等都是以電子訊號的形式來傳遞,而用來處理電子訊號的處理電路,也就成為現代資訊產業中最重要的基礎。而電路中之震盪器(oscillator)則是現代數位系統中不可或缺的重要電路構築方塊之一。例如,在一般的資訊系統(例如:個人電腦)中,需要一總體時脈(global clock)以協調數位系統中的各個數位電路一起運作,而時脈則是由震盪器所產生的。此外,要協調不同的時脈同步(譬如說在傳輸訊號的通訊系統中),還需要使用鎖相(phase loop lock,PLL)電路;而鎖相電路中則需要精密的壓控震盪器(voltage-controlled oscillators,VCOs),以電壓來控制壓控震盪器震盪出頻率不同的震盪訊號,以協調各時脈同步。此外,像是在某些精密的濾波器中,尚須使用能調整濾波頻率的電阻-電容(RC)濾波器。In the modern information industry, various data, materials, messages, and images are transmitted in the form of electronic signals, and the processing circuits used to process electronic signals become the most important foundation in the modern information industry. The oscillator in the circuit is one of the important circuit building blocks in modern digital systems. For example, in a general information system (eg, a personal computer), a global clock is needed to coordinate the various digital circuits in the digital system, and the clock is generated by the oscillator. In addition, to coordinate different clock synchronization (such as in the communication system for transmitting signals), a phase loop lock (PLL) circuit is also required; in the phase-locked circuit, a precision voltage-controlled oscillator is required. -controlled oscillators (VCOs), which control the voltage-controlled oscillator to oscillate different oscillation signals with different voltages to coordinate the clock synchronization. In addition, as in some sophisticated filters, a resistor-capacitor (RC) filter that adjusts the filter frequency is required.

不論是電阻-電容(RC)濾波器的濾波特性(像是濾波器的通帶頻寬),或是電感-電容(LC)壓控震盪器的震盪特性(像是震盪訊號的頻率),都可以用改變電容值的方法來加以調整。因此,具有可調整電容值之電容,亦即可變電容,已被運用於具有該些特性之元件中。而在可變電容之操作範圍內,其電容值係隨加諸其上之電壓而減少。目前已發展出多種可應用於積體電路元件中之可變電容,而其中以PN接面可變電容(PN junction varactor)以及金氧半導體(metal-oxide semiconductor,MOS)可變電容兩種結構最常為常見。Whether it is the filter characteristics of a resistor-capacitor (RC) filter (such as the passband bandwidth of a filter) or the oscillatory characteristics of an inductor-capacitor (LC) voltage-controlled oscillator (like the frequency of a oscillating signal), It can be adjusted by changing the value of the capacitor. Therefore, a capacitor having an adjustable capacitance value, that is, a variable capacitance, has been used in an element having such characteristics. In the operating range of the variable capacitor, the capacitance value decreases with the voltage applied to it. A variety of variable capacitors have been developed for use in integrated circuit components, among which are PN junction varactors and metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) variable capacitors. Most often it is common.

然而,以MOS可變電容而言,其調諧比值,定義為可變電容之最大電容與最小電容之比值,在操作頻率為10GHz的情況下僅能達到3。換句話說,MOS可變電容可調整的電容值的變化範圍係受限於其調諧比值。有鑑於此,提升可變電容之調諧比值實為業界努力之目標。However, in the case of a MOS variable capacitor, the tuning ratio is defined as the ratio of the maximum capacitance to the minimum capacitance of the variable capacitor, which can only reach 3 at an operating frequency of 10 GHz. In other words, the range of variation of the MOS variable capacitance adjustable capacitance value is limited by its tuning ratio. In view of this, increasing the tuning ratio of the variable capacitor is an industry goal.
