Abstract :
This paper discusses the design of 3D monolithic integrated inductors. The proposed 3D radio frequency (RF) integrated inductors have high inductance (L) values with an enhanced quality factors (Q). A new proposed method for 3D integrated inductors design is presented. A wide range of inductances and quality factor values can be realized. The proposed 3D inductors were designed in TSMC 0.18 μm technology and simulated using momentum.
