Abstract :
Lumped inductors are very desirable passive components in wireless/RF circuits integrated on MCM. This paper, based on the experimental modeling techniques for the extraction of equivalent circuit from measurement, improves the design of MCM inductors by achieving better quality factor and smaller real estate. A Q of 30 is achieved for the common inductors fabricated on MCM substrate. Various inductor design issues are discussed for practical inductor design for wireless applications. Measurement results are presented to demonstrate the high performance achieved through experimental and numerical modeling
