Abstract
A novel high-Q and wide-frequency-range inductor formed using three-dimensional (3-D) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology on a conductive Si substrate is presented. A fabricated 1.24-nH spiral inductor achieves the very high resonant frequency of 29.3 GHz and maximum quality factor (Q) of 45.77 owing to thick dielectric layers and a ground plane that overlays the substrate. The measured results show that the Si 3-D MMIC is very suitable for realizing single-chip and mixed-mode transceivers for L-band to Ku-band applications.
