Abstract
Four on-wafer measurement approaches for determining the inductance, Lvia, of through-substrate vias used in gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) have been implemented and compared. All of the approaches yielded similar results, enabling an accurate estimate for Lvia. The implementations, advantages, and disadvantages of each approach are compared
