Abstract

 This paper presents a typical frequency-dependent modelling of different on-chip inductors for RFICs design problems. Modern RF circuits often feature on-chip inductors required by modern circuit design. A comparison of different inductor geometrics includes a planar spiral inductor and novel multilayer inductors are analyzed. An electromagnetic model with fewer assumptions than empirical equations and higher efficiency than full-field solvers would be welcome. So would facile comparisons of different inductor structures. This paper describes recent work on the electromagnetic modelling of on-chip inductor structures, applied to the comparison of inductor geometries, including the traditional spiral inductor and a novel multilayer inductor. The electromagnetic modelling of the investigative model is also presented.
