Analysis, design, and optimization of spiral inductors and transformers for Si RF ICs
Abstract
Silicon integrated circuit spiral inductors and transformers are analyzed using electromagnetic analysis. With appropriate approximations, the calculations are reduced to electrostatic and magnetostatic calculations. The important effects of substrate loss are included in the analysis. Classic circuit analysis and network analysis techniques are used to derive two-port parameters from the circuits. From two-port measurements, low-order, frequency-independent lumped circuits are used to model the physical behavior over a broad-frequency range. The analysis is applied to traditional square and polygon inductors and transformer structures as well as to multilayer metal structures and coupled inductors. A custom computer-aided-design tool called ASITIC is described, which is used for the analysis, design, and optimization of these structures. Measurements taken over a frequency range from 100 MHz to 5 GHz show good agreement with theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
