For the application of 4G wireless communication system, this thesis
aims to develop a high-quality-factor and low-power-dissipation
suspending micro-inductor using electrochemical deposition and surface
micromachining technologies.
This research presents three technical points to improve the quality
factor and reduce the power dissipation of micro inductor, including (i) to
adopt a low resistivity material (copper) as the conducting layer to
decrease the Eddy current due to the skin effect and reduce the total series
resistance and energy loss, (ii) to utilize a suspending structure to
diminish the power loss through the substrate and (iii) to replace the
silicon wafer with a high resistance substrate (Corning 7740) to compress
effectively the power dissipation in high frequency operation.
The implemented suspending micro-inductors were characterized by a
commercial network analyzer (Agilent E5071C) under 0.5~20 GHz
testing frequency range. All the inductances and quality factors of the
micro-inductors proposed in this thesis are extracted by the Agilent ADS
software. The optimized value of the quality factor is around to 24.9 and
the corresponding inductance is equal to 5.43 nH .
