3D-Solenoid MEMS RF Inductor Design in Standard CMOS Technology
A new 3-D solenoid-inductor structure that is compatible with standard CMOS technology is proposed. Simulation shows excellent area efficiency of more than 80% saving over conventional planar spiral inductor. If combined with post-micromaching, a peak quality factor greater than 10 at 30GHz can be realized.
متن کاملA MEMS Tunable Inductor
This paper reports a single-wafer micromachined radiofrequency (RF) inductor that can be integrated in a conventional RFIC device. The inductor achieved a quality factor greater than 9 at 5Ghz and a self-resonance frequency well above 15 GHz. The inductor is tunable and the inductance variation is greater than 8%.
متن کاملFabrication of a Tunable RF MEMS Inductor on Silicon in a sub-150°C Process
One of the major challenges of successfully integrating radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC) on silicon (Si) continues to be the poor performance of inductors. The low resistivity Si substrate is a cost-effective solution, however it is a major source of energy loss and limits the quality factor (Q) of inductors at high frequency. Conventional oxides introduce considerable stress due to t...
متن کاملPSO-Based Design of RF Integrated Inductor
This paper addresses an optimization-based approach for the design of RF integrated inductors. The methodology presented deals with the complexity of the design problem by formulating it as a multi-objective optimization. The multi-modal nature of the underlying functions combined with the need to be able to explore design trade-offs leads to the use of niching methods. This allows exploring no...
متن کاملA capacitive RF power sensor based on MEMS technology
Wideband 100 kHz–4 GHz power sensors are presented, which are based on sensing the electrostatic force between an RF signal line and a suspended membrane. The electrostatic force, which is proportional to the square of the rms signal voltage and thus to the signal power, results in a displacement of the suspended membrane. This displacement is detected capacitively, allowing the sensing of the ...
