“…However, it is a challenging task to design high-quality integrated inductors, due to the low resistivity of standard silicon substrates. The performance of voltage-controlled oscillators [1][2][3], low noise amplifiers [4], matching networks, and distributed amplifiers depends strongly on inductors quality factors [5]. Therefore, inductor becomes a critical component in RF circuits' response, and should be carefully designed.…”

Different published approaches to simulate an inductor, by means of the 2D electromagnetic tool Momentum , are revised in this article. A new layout configuration, including the measurement structure and postsimulation de-embedding, is proposed. Simulated results are verified with inductors fabricated in a SiGe 0.35-lm foundry process. Our proposed layout provides more reliable results than other configurations.
