Abstract :
Magnetic inductor has becoming a new promising way to achieve super compact, high performance on-chip spiral inductors for RF ICs. Systematical design and simulation for typical on-chip stacked inductors with magnetic materials are conducted in this paper. Different structure and material parameters are simulated and analyzed. Improvements of the inductance L up to +20% have been achieved over multi-GHz.
