Abstract
In this letter, we propose an air-gap stacked spiral inductor using air-bridge technology. By stacking metal lines, inductor area can be reduced by 25%-5% compared with conventional spiral inductors. The air-gap structure yields low parasitic capacitance, so that the resonance frequency is higher than that of conventional inductor in spite of the reduced interwire distance
