Embodiment
Eddy current (eddy current) coils a conductor outside, and lets coil feed alternating current, and coil just produces alternating magnetic field so.Because the conductor in the middle of the coil is the closed circuit that can equivalence becomes a circle circle at circumferencial direction; Magnetic flux in the closed circuit is constantly changing; So the circumferencial direction at conductor can produce induced electromotive force and induced current; Sense of current is turn-taked along the circumferencial direction of conductor, just as the whirlpool of a circle circle, so thisly electromagnetic induction takes place and produce faradic phenomenon and be called vortex phenomenon in that the monoblock conductor is inner.The outer perimeter of conductor is long more, and the frequency of alternating magnetic field is high more, and eddy current is just big more.The inner eddy current of conductor also can produce heat, if the resistivity of conductor is little, then eddy current is very strong, and the heat of generation is just very big.
The present invention provides dummy metal and the arranged evenly mode of this dummy metal between different layers in a kind of integrated circuit through generation that reduces eddy current and then the effect that plays minimizing inductance component magnetic loss.
For make the object of the invention, technical scheme, and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, to further explain of the present invention.
