Therefore, the influence of the current iCB flowing through the capacitor 50B on the current i2B flowing through the second coil 42B of the transformer 40B can be reduced. Therefore, the influence on signal transmission between the low voltage circuit 20 and the high voltage circuit 30 can be reduced.

Description
以下に示す実施形態は、技術的思想を具体化するための構成や方法を例示するものであり、各構成部品の材質、形状、構造、配置、寸法等を下記のものに限定するものではない。なお、添付図面は、理解を容易にするために構成要素を拡大して示している場合がある。構成要素の寸法比率は実際のものと、または別の図面中のものと異なる場合がある。また、断面図では、理解を容易にするために、一部の構成要素のハッチングを省略している場合がある。
[ゲートドライバ]
図1~図11を参照して、第1実施形態のゲートドライバ10について説明する。
本実施形態のゲートドライバ10は、低圧回路20から高圧回路30に向けて伝達する2つの信号に対応して、2つのトランス40と2つのキャパシタ50とを備えている。より詳細には、ゲートドライバ10は、セット信号(SET)の伝達に用いられるトランス40およびキャパシタ50と、リセット信号(RESET)の伝達に用いられるトランス40およびキャパシタ50と、を備えている。以下、説明の便宜上、セット信号の伝達に用いられるトランス40およびキャパシタ50を「トランス40A」「キャパシタ50A」とする。また、リセット信号の伝達に用いられるトランス40およびキャパシタ50を「トランス40B」「キャパシタ50B」とする。
トランス40Aは、第1コイル41Aと第2コイル42Aとを有している。第1コイル41Aと第2コイル42Aとは、互いに電気的に絶縁されており、かつ磁気結合可能に構成されている。
低圧ダイパッド91および高圧ダイパッド101のy方向の寸法は、搭載する半導体チップのサイズや数によって設定される。本実施形態では、低圧ダイパッド91に低圧回路チップ60およびトランスチップ80が搭載され、高圧ダイパッド101に高圧回路チップ70が搭載されているため、低圧ダイパッド91のy方向の寸法が高圧ダイパッド101のy方向の寸法よりも大きくなる。
図3~図11を参照して、トランスチップ80の構成の一例について説明する。
以降の説明では、トランスチップ80のチップ裏面80rからチップ主面80sに向かう方向を上方とし、チップ主面80sからチップ裏面80rに向かう方向を下方とする。
図4は、トランスチップ80の平面図であり、説明の便宜上、トランス40A,40Bおよびキャパシタ50A,50Bと、後述するシールド電極86およびダミーパターン120,125と、をそれぞれ破線で示している。
基板83は、たとえば半導体基板により構成されている。本実施形態の基板83は、Si(シリコン)を含む材料から形成されている。なお、基板83は、半導体基板として、ワイドバンドギャップ半導体や化合物半導体が用いられてもよい。また、基板83は、半導体基板に代えて、ガラスを含む材料で形成された絶縁基板が用いられてもよい。
図8に示すキャパシタ50Aの第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、平面視において、図6に示す第2コイル42Aと重なるように形成されている。第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、導電性材料により形成される。第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、非磁性材料により形成されることがより好ましい。非磁性材料としては、Ti、TiN、TiW、Ta、TaN、Cr、CrSi、Au、Ag、Cu、Al、およびWのうちの1つまたは複数が適宜選択される。なお、第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、上記の材料以外の導電性材料により形成されてもよい。
図9に示すように、キャパシタ50Aの第1キャパシタ電極51Aおよび第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、トランス40Aの第1コイル41Aと第2コイル42Aとの間に配置されている。第1キャパシタ電極51Aと第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、複数の絶縁膜85を介してz方向において互いに対向配置されている。
第1コイル41Aは、第1コイル配線43A、第1信号端44A、および第1接地端45を有している。第1キャパシタ電極51Aは、第1電極配線53A、第1キャパシタ端部54A、および第1キャパシタ接地端55を有している。第1電極配線53Aと第1コイル配線43Aとは、z方向において互いに重なりあう。第1キャパシタ端部54Aと第1信号端44Aは、z方向において互いに重なりあう。第1キャパシタ接地端55と第1接地端45は、z方向において互いに重なりあう。
第2コイル42Aは、第2コイル配線46A、第2信号端47A、および第2接地端48を有している。第2キャパシタ電極52Aは、第2電極配線56A、第2キャパシタ端部57A、および第2キャパシタ接地端58を有している。第2電極配線56Aと第2コイル配線46Aとは、z方向において互いに重なりあう。第2キャパシタ端部57Aと第2信号端47Aは、z方向において互いに重なりあう。第2キャパシタ接地端58と第2接地端48は、z方向において互いに重なりあう。
図9に示すように、各電極パッド81,82は、最上層の絶縁膜85Uの上に形成されている。各電極パッド81および各電極パッド82は、絶縁膜85に埋め込まれているともいえる。本実施形態では、各電極パッド81および各電極パッド82は、トランス40A,40Bの第2コイル42A,42Bに対して基板83から離れた位置に配置されている。換言すると、各電極パッド81および各電極パッド82は、トランス40A,40Bの第2コイル42A,42Bよりも上方に位置している。本実施形態では、第1コイル41Aと第2コイル42Aとの間の距離は、第2コイル42Aと各電極パッド81,82とのz方向の間の距離よりも大きい。
第1配線部132Aは、平面視において第1電極パッド81Aと重なる位置に配置されており、第1電極パッド81Aに接続されている。第1配線部132Aは、複数の絶縁膜85のうち最上層の絶縁膜85Uの下の絶縁膜85から最下層の絶縁膜85Lよりも2つ上の絶縁膜85までを貫通している。第1配線部132Aは、平板状の配線部と複数のビアとを有している。配線部は、各コイル41A,42Aが設けられる絶縁膜851、854と同じ位置にそれぞれ設けられる。ビアは、両配線部のz方向の間、上方の配線部と第1電極パッド81Aとの間、および下方の配線部と第2配線部133Aとの間にそれぞれ設けられる。
第1配線部132Cは、接続配線131Aの第1配線部132Aと同様に構成されている。
第2電極パッド82Cは、最上層の絶縁膜85Uを貫通するビア135Cにより、第2コイル42Aの第2接地端48と電気的に接続されている。
