Integrated circuit comprising at least an integrated antenna

摘要

An integrated circuit on a substrate including at least one peripheral portion that surrounds an active area and is realized close to at least one scribe line providing separation with other integrated circuits realized on a same wafer. The integrated circuit includes at least one conductive structure that extends in its peripheral portion on different planes starting from the substrate and realizes an integrated antenna for the circuit.

主权项

1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
a substrate including a peripheral portion that surrounds an active circuit area, wherein said peripheral portion is adjacent a scribe line; a seal ring structure formed by a plurality of pillar structures distributed in the peripheral portion in an arrangement extending parallel to the scribe line, each pillar structure formed by a plurality of first conductive lines arranged in different planes and interconnected by vertical conductive connections; and a first antenna structure formed by a first antenna line arranged in said different planes, said first antenna line including a first line portion positioned between the pillar structures of the seal ring structure and the scribe line and a second line portion positioned between the pillar structures of the seal ring structure and the active circuit area.
