Abstract
This paper presents the design and analysis of new proposed topology micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) inductor. This new symmetric MEMS inductor is designed to reduce the total length of the conductor strip and hence reduce the resistance of the metal tracks. This results significant increases in the quality (Q) factor of the inductor. In this paper, the MEMS inductor is designed using CoventorWare®, which is powerful software for MEMS computer aided design (CAD), modeling and simulation. Results indicate that new symmetric inductor topology has thehighest Q-factor and it hasbeenimproved bytwo times compared to circular inductor. The analysis revealed that area of the symmetric inductor has reduced by37.5% compared to the circular inductor. Result has proved that the reduction of length of the conductor strip has reduced the resistance of the metal tracks and results in a high Q-factor inductor.
