Abstract :
An alternative design for a MMIC inductor as a compromise between a galvano plastic coil and a thin one using an evaporated layer (gate metallization) is investigated. As a method for the analysis of such a component the three-dimensional finite difference time-domain technique has been applied. Due to a problem with convergency of the transfer function in frequency domain the System Identification method has been used for S-parameter extraction. The method is verified by a comparison of measured and simulated results for selected inductors incorporating specific properties of the investigated structure.<>
