چکیده

Symmetric spiral inductors are used for differential circuit applications for their robustness and superior noise rejection properties. In this work, characteristics of quality factor and inductance of symmetric inductors having octagonal structures, and the methods to improve performance have been suggested using the Agilent Momentum simulator [1]. From the results, we get differential quality-factor of 14.4 at 4.5 GHz with symmetric octagonal inductor with poly PGS.

Physical Modeling of Spiral Inductors on Silicon

This paper presents a physical model for planar spiral inductors on silicon, which accounts for eddy current effect in the conductor, crossover capacitance between the spiral and center-tap, capacitance between the spiral and substrate, substrate ohmic loss, and substrate capacitance. The model has been confirmed with measured results of inductors having a wide range of layout and process param...

An Efficient Technique for Substrate Coupling Parasitic Extraction with Application to RF/Microwave Spiral Inductors (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents an efficient modeling method, based on the microstrip lines theory, for the coupling between a sub­strate backplane and a device contact. We derive simple closed-form formulas for rapid extraction of substrate parasitics. We use these formulas to model spiral inductors as important substrate-noise sources in mixed-signal systems. The proposed model is verified for the freque...

Modeling and Layout Optimization Tech- Niques for Silicon-based Symmetrical Spiral Inductors

A scalable and highly accurate RF symmetrical inductor model (with model error of less than 5%) has been developed from more than 100 test structures, enabling device performance versus layout size trade-offs and optimization up to 10 GHz. Large conductor width designs are found to yield good performance for inductors with small inductance values. However, as inductance or frequency increases, ...
