A new comprehensive wide-band compact modeling methodology for
single-ended spiral inductors and differential spiral inductors is presented. The
new modeling methodology creates an equivalent circuit model consisting of
frequency-independent circuit elements for use in circuit simulators. A fast automated
extraction procedure is developed for determining the circuit element
values from two-port S-parameter measurement data. The methodology is extremely
flexible in allowing for accurate modeling of general classes of inductors
on high or low resistivity substrate and for large spirals exhibiting distributed
trends. The new modeling methodology is applied to general classes of spirals
with various sizes and substrate parameters.
The presented compact modeling methodology has major benefits including
greatly reducing model extraction time in comparison with currently available
models based on optimization methods. To demonstrate the accuracy in comparison
with past models a number of measurement data sets are used for sample
extractions. A developed computer program is presented and used for circuit
model extractions. Results are presented when the computer program is applied
to a high-volume inductor extraction. The extracted models show excellent agreement
with the measured data sets over the frequency range of 0.1 to 10 GHz. / Graduation date: 2004
