Quality factors based on an interrelationship between inductance, parasitic capacitance, and resistance components of a stacked inductor are called Q characteristics (quality factors). In general, when the Q characteristics in the inductor are improved, it possible to reduce the number of layers of the stacked inductor and increase the degree of design freedom depending on the spatial placement. Furthermore, when the number of stacked conductive layers is large, the capacitance value becomes small, and the self-resonant frequency may be increased.
Since the semiconductor package including the coil structures 900A and 900B according to some implementations include the stacked inductor, it is possible to reduce a loss due to metal components (metal loss) or eddy current loss, and increase the Q value. In particular, the semiconductor package according to some implementations are applicable to electronic devices that include a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) with high quality Q values.

In some implementations, the width of the coil pattern of the outer coil part may be widened and the width of the coil pattern of the inner coil part may be widened to obtain improved Q characteristics. Specifically, when the width of the coil pattern of the outer coil part is widened, the loss due to the metal component may be reduced to obtain improved Q characteristics, and when the width of the coil pattern of the inner coil part is narrowed, the inductance value may be increased.

While this disclosure contains many specific implementation details, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of what may be claimed. Certain features that are described in this disclosure in the context of separate implementations can also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation can also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable subcombination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations, one or more features from a combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the combination may be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination.
