RESUMO
Two modeling tools for integrated planar square inductors and one software implementing analytical relations, were studied and analyzed, to determine which is the most appropriate, that is, the tools that will supply the closest results to experimental measurements with, lower costs, higher speed, etc. Integrated planar inductors present severe limitations in their use. The two main limitations are: the low value of the quality factor, that affects the gain and the band of amplifiers and filters where they are used; and the difficulty in modeling and determining of their parameters. Inspire of the difficulties in the use of these devices, they are applied in many systems, such as transceivers that operate in radio frequency. In these systems, inductors are necessary and their integration is essential to obtain completely integrated solutions. In this work the studied tools for inductor modeling were: ASITIC and SONNET. The analytical relations were implementing in MATLAB. The comparisons between the tools were made through five implemented and measured inductors. The inductors were fabricated in a CMOS 0.35 µm technology with four metal layers. In order to carry out the correct comparison between the modeled results and the electric measurements, minimizing the interference of pad parasitic elements, the inductors were inserted within appropriate test structures. Characterization structures were also implemented to allow the elimination of the test structure effects on the measurements.
