On-chip inductors incorporating porous-Si and intrinsic-amorphous-Si films for rf integrated circuits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The quality factor (Q) of inductors on silicon (Si) is limited by the series resistance of the metal at low frequency and by the substrate resistivity at high frequency. Oxide is generally used to isolate the useful signal of the inductor from the lossy Si substrate. However, stoichiometric silica (SiO2) is processed at high temperature which restricts the possibility of post-complementary metal-oxide semiconductor integration, and due to the large thermal mismatch with Si, thick oxide films introduce considerable stress. In this work, we apply electrochemically formed porous Si (PS) and intrinsic amorphous Si (i-a-Si:H) deposited at low temperature (250°C) in an approach asan isolation bilayer for planar inductors on Si for rf integrated circuits. An improvement of morethan 45% in Q was measured at a frequency of 6.4GHz for 1.6nH inductor incorporating PS andi-a-Si:H films. The experimental results presented indicate that these low-temperature materials are promising for the isolation of rf devices on low-resistivity Si.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
