896 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES, VOL. 44, NO. 6, JUNE 1996 CAD Models for Multilayered Substrate Interdigital Capacitors Spartak S. Gevorgian, Member, IEEE, Torsten Martinsson, Peter L. J. Linnkr, Senior Member, IEEE, and Erik Ludvig Kollberg, Fellow, IEEE Abstract-Conformal mapping-based models are given for interdigital capacitors on substrates with a thin superstrate and/or covering dielectric film. The models are useful for a wide range of dielectric constants and layer thicknesses. Capacitors with finger numbers n 2 2 are discussed. The finger widths and spacing between them may be different. The results are compared with the available data and some examples are given to demonstrate the potential of the models. I. INTRODUCTION NTERDIGITAL capacitors (IDC) are widely used as lumped elements in microwave integrated circuits (MIC) [l], [2], slow-wave devices [3], integrated optical (IO) modulators, deflectors [4], and thin-film acoustoelectronic transducers [5]. Recently, the integration of high temperature superconductor (HTSC) and ferroelectric films [6], [7] has initiated a renewed interest toward the electrically tunable devices based on interdigital capacitors [8]. Full wave analysis of interdigital capacitors on homogeneous or multilayer substrates is a complex computational problem, while for syntheses of MIC or IO devices there is a need for closed form analytical expressions for computation of the capacitances of IDC. The available analytical solutions [l], [9] are limited to homogeneous substrates and equal finger and slot widths. Recently, simple formulas have been proposed for IDC with a dielectric layer on top of thin conducting strips [XI. These formulas do not take into account the fringing field of the finger ends, and lead to higher capacitances in comparison with the widely used formulas [I], [91. In this paper, the conformal mapping technique is used to evaluate closed form expressions for computation of capacitances of IDC on two- and three-layered substrates. The derivation is based on the partial capacitance method [2], [lo]-[i21 and takes into account the capacitance between the fingers and the fringing capacitance of the finger ends. IDC with R 2 2 fingers are discussed. Capacitances of all capacitors are presented as a sum of capacitances between the fingers and capacitances of the finger ends. The main part, the capacitances between the regular sections of the fingers, are evaluated accurately in Sections iii-v. A special conformal mapping technique is developed for IDC with n 3 4. Capacitances of two- and three-strip IDC are easily Manuscript received September 14, 1995; revised February 15, 1996.

For IDC with fingers much longer than the width, the end capacitance is a small fraction of the total capacitance. In Section VI, simple analytical approximations are proposed for this end capacitance which can be used for all IDC with n 2 2 discussed in this paper. It is assumed that the microwave wavelength in the substrate is much larger than the dimensions of the IDC. The models do not take into account parasitic inductances and resistances. 11. PHYSICAL MODELS OF IDC IDC layouts and cross sections to be discussed are shown in Fig. 1. All slots are assumed to have a width of 29 and the finger width is 2s. External strips may have widths, 2.51, different from the widths of the internal strips, 2s. Wheeler s first order approximation [2] is applied to account for the thickness, t, of the strips. The effective width of the strips are presented as follows: where 2s, is the physical (geometric) width of the strip. Designs with infinite width terminals, Fig. l(a), and finite width terminals, w, Fig. l(b), will be discussed. In general, the width of the slots between fingers, 2g, is not equal to the width of the strips, 2s. The gaps at the ends of the fingers, 2.gend, may also be different. The dielectric constants of the substrate, f1, superstrate, 2, and cover layer, t3, may have arbitrary values including tl > 2. The thickness of the substrate is larger than the thickness of the superstrate, hl > h2. In Fig. 2, the finger potential and the schematics of the field lines for IDC with n 2 3, two, and three fingers are presented. Although the symmetric field distribution shown in Fig. 2(a) is valid only for an infinite number of fingers, we will assume a similar distribution for a finite number of fingers, including n 2 4. All dielectric/dielectric and dielectridair interfaces are modeled as equivalent magnetic walls as it is usually done in the partial capacitance technique [2], [lo]-[ 121. Additionally, electric walls are assumed at the symmetry planes of the electric field distribution, where the field lines are normal to the electric wall. it follows from the electric field distribution and the symmetry of the capacitance structures, Fig. 2, that the capacitances 0018-9480/96$05.00 0 1996 IEEE Authorized licensed use limited to: Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

(2) 111. THE CAPACITANCE OF THE PERIODICAL SECTION A. Single-Layer Substrute Before evaluation of the capacitance of one section of the periodical structure on a three-layered substrate, Fig. 2(a), consider the simple case of a single-layer substrate with thickness h and dielectric constant E, Fig. 3. It follows from the schematic field distribution, Fig. 3(a), that the partial capacitance between half strips, s, of neighboring fingers due to the substrate is equal to the capacitance between one of the half strips and virtual equipotentiial strip of height h laying in the electric wall CC', line section 25. This configuration is conveniently represented in Fig. 3(b). Now the problem is to evaluate the capacitance -_ between the line segments (strips) s and h of the polygon 0256 in the 2-plane, Fig. 3(b). The standard procedure [15] for evaluation of this capacitance suggests an application of - the Schwartz-Chrisoffel transformation to map the polygon 0256 onto a half plane of an intermediate plane. Then the second application of Schwartz-Christoffel transformation mapa, this intermediate half plane onto the interior of the desired rectangle to form a parallel-plate capacitor for calculation of the capacitance. This procedure leads to complex expressions involving both Jacobian elliptic functions (from the first transformation) and elliptic integrals (from the second transformation) [ 151-[ 171. On the other hand, it follows from the study of the field distribution and the equivalent magnetic and electric walls, Fig. 3(a) and (b), that the field line configuration will not be changed if one assumes a semi-infinite perfect metal strip behind the segment of the line 25 in the z-plane, Fig. 3(b). Thus, instead of a Schwartz-Chrisoffel integral-assisted mapping of the interior of the rectangle 0256, we map the semi-infinite strip (triangle) 3064 of the 2-plane on the upper half of the T-plane, Fig. 3(c), using the function T = cosh2 (%). 7l.Z (3) Authorized licensed use limited to: Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

The vortices of the mapped polygon in the T-plane are 7lS to = I, ti = cosh (%) t3 = t4 = E, Next, for the thin-film limit, exploiting the technique of approximate transformations ([15, ch. 4]), we map the upper half of the T-plane onto the interior of the rectangle in W- plane, Fig. 3(d).

This procedure leads to the following expression for the capacitance per unit length: In (7), the capacitances due to the upper and lower half air (5) spaces in the 2-plane are taken into account. The coefficient 112 is due to the identical capacitance between the virtual strip 25, Fig. 3(a), and the next half strip, s. These capacitances are in series. The modulus of the elliptic integrals of the first kind K (k) and K( IC ), are evaluated using the t, values given above based on the presentation given in B. Three-Layered Substrate Now we use the results of the previous subsection to evaluate the capacitance of the (n - 3) periodical sections of the IDC on a three-layered substrate. Following the partial capacitance technique [lo], this capacitance may be presented

(9) Cnl, Cn2, and Cn3 are determined by (3, where hl, h2, and h3 are the substrate thicknesses used, with the equivalent dielectric constants ( el - 1),(62-1) and ( t3-1). The resultant capacitance is where i = 1,2,3, and 1 is the finger length. In the s/hi >> 1 limit, the last expression is simplified to ki = JZexp (+) kb = d m. It is supposed that the condition hl 2 h2 is fulfilled where the dielectric layer 2 is enclosed between strips and substrate. The contribution from the other three external fingers [one and a half on each side, Fig. 2(a)] will be taken into account as a capacitance of three-strip coplanar waveguide discussed in the next Section.

Finite Width Strips To evaluate the capacitance of a three-finger IDC, Fig. 4, on a two-layered substrate, we use available formulas for three strips on a single-layer substrate [12]. Similar results can be found in [Ill. In general, the widths of the external strips, 2sl, are not the same as the wiidth of central the strips, 2s. As in the previous cases, the capacitance of a three-finger IDC is assumed to be a sum of partial capacitances due to air, substrate with an equivalent dielectric constant ( 1 - l), and superstrate with a dielectric constant ( 2 - el), and cover layer with equivalent dielectric constant ( 3-1). The resultant capacitance is (15) ka3 = T(S + %I) sinh ( 2h; ) ki3 = d m,i = 1,2,3. In the above formula, SI = s should be used where the widths of external and middle fingers are the same.

Application of these formulas to three-layer substrate two-finger IDC leads to sinh ( 2h, ) VI. THE CAPACITANCE DUE TO THE FINGER ENDS (33) (34) For long fingers, 11s >> 1, the results presented above can be used for IDC capacitance computations without taking into account the correction for the fringing fields at the ends of the fingers, as it has been done in [SI and [8]. Then, the accuracy of the computed capacitance is limited to 5-10%. Nevertheless, some simple formulas will be given below for the end capacitances associated with the fringing fields between the ends of the fingers and the leads. A. Finite Width Teminals First we start with finite width, 20, terminals, Fig. l(b). A fragment of the end of a finger is shown in Fig. 5. The actual field distribution is complex. It is still possible to use the conformal mapping technique to compute this field distribution and the associated finger end capacitance [22]. Nevertheless, these results are complex and do not improve substantially the accuracy of the total capacitance of the IDC in comparison with the simpler models presented below. As a first approximation, we assume a region with a regular field distribution neighboring the end of the finger strip and two nonregular regions (dashed in Fig. 5) near the corners. Thus, we can put a virtual magnetic wall at the distance 2 from the end of the finger, Fig. 5, and compute the regular end capacitance as half of the capacitance of the three-strip structure, Section IV-A, assuming external strips of width 2sl = w and a central strip of width 2s = 22, separated by a gap 2g,,d. As a first approach, the two corners near the end of each finger are approximated as a 7r.s extension to the Authorized licensed use limited to: Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

(43) X(X f gend ' sinh ( 2hi For most practical cases, the finger length is much greater than the finger width and the end capacitance is a small fraction of the total capacitance of IDC. One can expect from the field distribution at the end of the fingers [22] that z 5 s for s = g. An example of the dependence of the total capacitance on x is depicted in Fig. 6. The data used in Fig. 6 is as follows: 2 = el = 24.5,n = 60,l = 0.5 mm,2s = 29 = 7.6 pm,t = h2 = 0.3 pm, e3 = 265 (curves 1 and 2), c3 = 1 (curves 3 and 'J 4). The sharp increase in capacitance for small x is followed by a saturation near x = 0.5s. The electric field component normal to the surface of the strips decreases substantially at this distance. This value of z leads to the best agreement when the computed capacitances are compared with the results of other models and experiment. For comparison, we treat the end of a finger, Fig. 5, as an open end of a coplanar waveguide. The total end capacitance of 60 fingers computed using Mao's model [21] for 3 = 1 is 0.435 pf, while from formula (39) we have 0.414 pf assuming x = 0.5s. For shorter finger lengths, 1 5 2s, the contribution of the "end" capacitance to the total capacitance is larger and it has to be treated more accurately. More accurate values of x may be determined from the full wave analysis or experiment. VII. LIMITING CASES AND DISCUSSIONS In this Section, we give a brief summary of the formula for capacitances of a variety of IDC. Comparisons with experimental and theoretical results available in the literature are given. Some numerical data are presented to demonstrate the potential of the models developed in this paper.

B. IDC on a Single-Layer Substrate This IDC structure, Fig. 7(a), is the most studied one. In this case, the formulas for capacitance computation may be easily deduced from (44)-(55) in the h2 = h3 = 0 andor 2 = 1, 3 = 1 limits. In Fig. 8, the dependence of the capacitance of the periodical section of IDC on stripwidth computed by (10) and by formulas given in 1.51 and [8] are depicted. The parameters used are as follows: 3 = 1, 2 = 1 = (28 x 43)1/2 (LiNbOs). 1 = 1.5 mm,n = 12,2g = 16 pm,t = 0.3 pm,hl = h2 = 0.5 mm. For these parameters and 2s = 29 = 16 pm, the total capacitance, including external fingers and finger ends computed by (44), is 2.458 pf. The capacitance according to Alley's model [9] is 3.1 pf. The discrepancy is due to the ground plane assumed in Alley's model [9]. It is worthwhile to note that despite the differences in the mapping functions used by Wei [5] and (lo), an excellent agreement is observed between the results of [5] and (10) for an infinitely thick substrate (without layers 2 and 3), Fig. 8. The larger capacitance computed based on the results of Wu er al. [8] is due to the model used in 181. This problem will be discussed below. A large number of experimental data are available in [ 191. Table I1 displays a comparison of our results with the experimental and theoretical results of 1191. The modal parameters for comparison are as follows [19]: 1 = 100 pm, 2s = 29 = 10 pm,t = 5 pm,c1 = 12.5. The number of fingers are shown in the Table I. Table I1 shows a comparison with the experimental and theoretical results presented in [20]. The modal parameters of IDC CAP1 and CAP2 are taken from [20]. For CAP1: 1 = 12.5, hl = 101 pm, 1 = 0.254 mm, 2s = 20 pm, 2g = 4.8 prn, t = 1.5 pm, n = 10. For CAP2: 29 = 4.25 pm, 2s = 12 pm, n = 19, and the other parameters are as for CAP1. (c) Fig. 7.

There is no such a fringing field for the internal fingers of IDC and, in addition, the three-strip coplanar waweguide, Fig. 2(b), used in [8] as a unit cell for capacitance evaluation leads to repeated use of strip surface and hence elevated capacitances.

For this data the total capacitance computed using the present theory is 6.487 pf, including the end capacitance computed for 2 = s/2 = 1.9 pm. According to 181, for the same data the computed capacitance without finger end contribution is 6.5 pf against 5.314 pf computed using the present theory. Hence, the capacitance withoul finger end contribution is elevated in [8]. This can easily be explained by referring to the field distributions in Fig. 2. In [SI, a unit cell of IDC is distinguished as a three-strip coplanar waveguide. The capacitance is then presented as the half of the sum of (n - 1) coplanar waveguides. It can be seen from the comparison of D. IDC with a Superstrate It is worthwhile to study a ferroelectric film IDC with the structure shown in Fig. 7(c). The dielectric constant of the ferroelectric film is chosen to be t2 = 500, and 1 = 24.5 (LaA103), i.e, E:, > 1. The othler parameters are: hl = 0.5 mm,t = 0.3 pm, 29 = 16 pm, 3 = 1,n = 12,l = 1.5 mm,z = s/2, and gend = 9. The depeindence of the total capacitance on the ferroelectric film thickness, h2, is depicted in Fig. 9(a) with the stripwidth as a parameter, 2s = 2sl = 28, 10, and 5 pm. For all thickness the calpacitance tends to saturate when the film thickness approaches the gapwidth, 29, with the capacitance approaching the capacitance of the IDC on a homogeneous substrate with 2. The dependence of the capacitance on the stripwidth is shown in Fig. 9(b) with the ferroelectric film thickness as a parameter. The capacitance increases with s indicating a weak saturation where s g. This performance is explained as follow!s. An increase of stripwidth results in more field lines passing in the substrate, out of the high dielectric constant film. VIII. CONCLUSION Simple CAD-oriented analytical models have been developed for a large variety of IDC on three-layered substrates. It follows from the comparison of theory aind experiment [l], 191, 1191, 1201, that these models can be used for frequencies up to the X-band. Poor accuracy is expected in the 2s/h < 1 limit, where field lines become dominantly normal to the filmhubstrate interface and the magnetic wall approximation fails to work. In the case of computational problems, specially for ultra thin dielectric layers, 2s/h, >> 1, approximations for the moduli of the elliptic integrals similar to (14) may be helpful. A simple series for computation of the ratio of the elliptic integral is given in [lo]. Finally, models for the IDC on substrates with layer numbers n > 3 can easily be developed using the method presented in this paper. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors wishes to thank S.
