Fabrication of RF Inductor Using FeTaN Patterned Soft Magnetic Films

Patterned FeTaN 연자성 박막을 이용한 RF inductor의 제조

Recently, RF inductor having researched by many workers, we fabricated and investigated properties of RF inductors. In order to improve the Q-factor (Quality), we try to apply the patterned Fe$_{78.81}$Ta$_{8.47}$N$_{12.71}$ soft magnetic thin film of 5000 which shows magnetic anisotropy of 30 Oe. Thus, patterned magnetic film was artificially increased magnetic anisotropy lead to increasing of ferro-magnetic resonance frequency up to GHz band. Coil as part of inductor was fabricated by lift off process. The dimension of RF inductor was designed 47un, rectangular shape, and measured properties. In the case of Ti/Ag air core type inductor shows Q of 9, inductance of 8.4 nH at 2 GHz. Magnetic film employed inductor shows inductance of 9 nH and FMR resonance frequency was 700 MHz.

최근 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 RF 대역에서 사용가능한 인덕터를 제조하여 특성을 평가하였다. 인덕턴스와 Q값을 높이기 위하여 5000 두께의 F $e_{78.81}$T $a_{8.47}$ $N_{12.71}$ 연자성박막을 삽입하였으며, 자성박막의 FMR 공진주파수를 인위적으로 확장시키기 위하여 pattern을 형성시켜 shape anisotropy를 증가시켰다. 또한 코일부분은 lift-off process를 이용하여 제조하였다. 제조된 인덕터의 디자인은 4턴의 rectangular spiral형태였으며, 측정된 특성은 Ti/Ag air-core의 경우 5 GHz까가지 공진이 없었으며 2GHz에서 Q값이 9, 인덕턴스 8.4nH였다. 자성박막을 이용한 경우 9 nH에 공진주파수는 약 700 MHz부근이었다.다.
