Methodology and Design Kit Integration of a Broadband Compact Inductor Model

A physics-based broadband inductor model is presented that accurately captures geometry scaling, process statistics, and temperature dependence. The model utilizes an accurate and physical skin effect formulation, with substantial improvements over previous methods, along with [...]

Compact Modeling of Spiral Inductors for RF Applications

Chen J., Liou J.J., University of Central Florida, US

Recent growth in RF applications has increased the use of spiral inductors and thus demanded a more accurate model for such devices. In this paper, we develop a compact model for spiral inductors with symmetrical [...]

Compact Modling of High Frequency Phenomena for On-Chip Spiral Inductors

Talwalkar N., Yue P., Wong S., Stanford University, US

This paper presents a physics-based compact model for predicting high frequency performance of spiral inductors. The model accurately accounts for skin effect and proximity effect in the metal conductors as well as eddy current loss [...]
