Optimization of Symmetric Spiral Inductors On Silicon Substrate
نویسندگان
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...
متن کاملAn 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...
