An Efficient Technique for Substrate Coupling Parasitic Extraction with Application to Rf/microwave Spiral Inductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an efficient modeling method, based on the microstrip lines theory, for the coupling between a substrate backplane and a device contact. We derive simple closed-form formulas for rapid extraction of substrate parasitic. We use these formulas to model spiral inductors as important substrate-noise sources in mixed-signal systems. The proposed model is verified for the frequencies up to 35 GHz, and is easily adaptable to CAD tools.

متن کاملSubstrate Noise Coupling Through Planar Spiral Inductor
While previous studies on substrate coupling focused mostly on noise induced through drain-bulk capacitance, substrate coupling from planar spiral inductors at radio frequency (RF) via the oxide capacitance has not been reported. This paper presents the experimental and simulation results of substrate noise induced through planar inductors. Experimental and simulation results reveal that isolat...
متن کاملThrough-Silicon-Via Inductor based DC-DC Converters: The Marriage of the Princess and the Dragon
There has been a tremendous research effort in recent years to move DC-DC converters on chip for enhanced performance. However, a major limiting factor to implement on-chip inductive DC-DC converters is the large area overhead induced by spiral inductors. Towards this, we propose to use through-silicon-vias (TSVs), a critical enabling technique in three-dimensional (3D) integrated systems, to i...

An efficient modeling technique and a novel CAD tool for the accurate prediction of the performance of integrated inductors and transformers is presented. This generic and process-independent approach generates lumped-element models that easily plug into the RF IC design flow. Their accuracy is established through comparisons with measurements of numerous fabricated inductor structures. This pa...
