  • Abstract
    This paper reports a single-wafer micromachined radio-frequency (RF) inductor that can be integrated in a convetional RFIC device. The Inductor achieved a quality factor greater than 9 at 15 GHz and a self-resonance frequency well above 15 GHz. The inductor is tunable and the inductance variation is greater than 8%.
