An integrated inductor using the low-temperature co-fired ceramics(LTCC) technology for low-power electronics was fabricated. In the inductor NiZn ferrite sheet$({\mu}_r=230)$, was embedded to increase inductance. The inductor has Ag spiral coil with 14 turns$(7turns{\times}2layers)$, a dimension of 0.6mm in width, 10um in thickness, and 0.15mm pitch. To evaluate the inductance, including the parasitic resistance, the fabricated inductor was calculated and measured. It was confirmed that calculated values were very close to the measured values. Finally as an application of the LTCC integrated inductor to low power electronic circuits, a LTCC boost DC/DC converter with 1W output power and up to 0.5MHz switching frequency using the inductor fabricated was developed.

spiral 패턴과 meander 패턴의 공심 평면 인덕터에 대해 주파수, 도체간격, 도체폭, 턴수등을 변화시켜 저항, 인덕턴스와 같은 전기적인 특성치의 이론적인 예측에 대해 검토하였다. 도체폭이 커짐에 따라 저항과 인덕턴스는 감소한다. 이때 Q는 spiral pattern에서는 최대치를 가지는 도체폭이 존재하는 반면 meander pattern에서는 저항의 감소가 인덕턴스의 감소보다 작아지므로 도체폭이 증가하면 Q가 증가하였다. spiral pattern에서는 도체간격을 작게할 때 저항, 인덕턴스, Q는 더 이상 증가하지 않는 도체간격이 존재하지만 meander pattern에서는 인접 도체 사이의 상호 인덕턴스의 부호가 (-)가 됨에 따라 도체 간격은 가능한 한 커야 한다. 턴수가 증가함에 따라 저항, 인덕턴스는 증가하며 spiral pattern에서는 최대의 Q를 가지는 턴수가 존재하지만 meander pattern에서는 인덕턴스의 증가보다 저항의 증가가 크기 때문에 턴수의 증가에 따라 Q는 감소하였다.

Modified equivalent lumped element model for square spiral inductors have been derived. This model shows more accurate analysis performance than conventional models, and gives reliable design parameters. And this model is made through comparison among distributed multiple coupled line, numerical analysis and experimental data.

본 논문에서는 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ 1-poly 5-metal CMOS n-well 공정 을 이 용하여 나선형 인덕터와 블루투스 수신기에 응용할 수 있는 전압제어 발진기를 제안하였다. 제안된 인덕터는다층 메탈을 이용하여 인덕터의 저항 성분을 감소시켜 블루투스 주파수 대역에서 Q값을 향상시켰다 또한 Q값이 향상된 나선형 인덕터를 이용하여 부성저항 전압제어 발진기를 설계하였다. 설계된 부성저항 발진기의 시뮬레이션 결과는 외부의 커패시턴스가 2pF에서 14pF:까지 변화할 때 발진 주파수대역은 2.33GHz에서 2.58GHz이고, 발진 출력은 0dBm 이상이었다.

A low phase noise CMOS voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) for multi-band/multi-standard RF Transceivers is presented. For both wide tunability and low phase noise characteristics, Hybrid inductor which uses both bondwire inductor and planar spiral inductor in the same area, is proposed. This approach reduces inductance variation and presents high quality factor without custom-designed single-turn inductor occupying large area, which improves phase noise and tuning range characteristics without additional area loss. An LC VCO is designed in a 0.13um CMOS technology to demonstrate the hybrid inductor concept. The measured phase noise is -121dBc/Hz at 400KHz offset and -142dBc/Hz at 3MHz offset from a 900MHz carrier frequency after divider. The tuning range of about 28%(3.15 to 4.18GHz) is measured. The VCO consumes 7.5mA from 1.3V supply and meets the requirements for GSM/EDGE and WCDMA standard.

A Differential line inductor is proposed for a differential power amplifier. The proposed differential line inductor is composed of two conventional line inductors rearranged to make the current direction of the two line inductors identical. The proposed line inductor is simulated with a 2.5-D and a 3-D EM simulator to verify its feasibility with the substrate information in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ RF CMOS process. The inductances of various line inductors implemented with printed circuit boards were measured. The feasibility of the proposed line inductor was successfully demonstrated.

An integrated inductor using the low temperature cofiring ceramics(LTCC) technology was fabricated. The inductor has Ag circular spiral coil with 16 turns (2-turn x 8-layer) and has a dimension of 11.52mm diameter and 0.71mm thick. For the fabricated inductor, calculation method of inductance was given and it is confirmed that the calculated value is very close to the measured one.

For the converter the maximum efficiency of about 81% was obtained.
