Abstract :
High quality inductors and capacitors are very important in millimeter wave CMOS design. MIM capacitors have high quality and good accuracy. However the inductor design in this area is a challenge. Transmission line inductors propose better quality and less area, in comparison with spiral inductors, in sub-nH range. In this paper we have designed a shielded transmission line inductor and proposed a scalable model for it. The model parameters are calculated with full analytic closed form equations. The accuracy of this equations and performance of model have been verified with full wave simulations using MoM in ADS. The proposed model was used to optimize the geometry of an 240 pH inductor at 30 GHz frequency.
