Silicon Chip RF Capacitors
DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND CONSTRUCTION
DETAILS
Over the past two decades, semiconductor production has
been greatly refined in materials, processes, producibility,
cost reduction, repeatability, reliability, and simplicity. In
contrast, there have been few significant innovative
advances in passive component, so the search for a
significant advance in a high Q, high frequency capacitor
centered on the semiconductor processes instead of the
traditional capacitor processes. The final product yields a
true RF capacitor with a ten-fold increase in capacitance
density based on simple, low cost, high reliability
semiconductor processes, and on materials economically
available throughout the world.

CONFIGURATION/MECHANICAL EFFECTS
The wraparound terminations of the standard chip
configuration reduce the resistance in the terminations, but
they add inductance at the same time. They also require
more board space than necessary. An 0402 size chip
requires 25 to 45 % greater length than the actual chip for the
mounting pads, depending on the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Additionally, there is a tendency for
wraparound terminations to tip up on one end during board
assembly when the solder at each end either melts or
solidifies unevenly, an effect known as “tombstoning” (See
Figure 2).

Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional drawing of the HPC0402
capacitor. In this configuration, the high-conductivity silicon
forms the base plate of the capacitor. A proprietary process
forms a void-free silicon dioxide dielectric that is very thin (in
the order of 0.05 to 3 microns depending upon capacitance),
very uniform (variation of less than 0.4 % across a wafer for
10 pF), and very repeatable (less than 1 % variation from lot
to lot.) This makes it possible to produce tight tolerance
capacitors without trimming. This is highly desirable because
trimming changes the high frequency characteristics of the
capacitor. That is, the same capacitance value, in the same
capacitance tolerance, in the same capacitor model, from the
same capacitor manufacturer will have different RF
performance from lot to lot, but not with the HPC Silicon
Capacitor.
Graph 1 compares the integrated HPC0402 silicon capacitor
to other leading RF capacitor technologies.

Tombstoning requires costly off-line testing and rework to
correct the problems. If only 0.5% of the mounted
components exhibit this behavior, and there are 10
components per board, then approximately 5 % of the boards
will need rework.
