Abstract
In this paper, the field solver based deembedding technique for the on-chip inductors to deembed the pad and surrounding ground effect was described, and the results from field solver based deembedding techniques and measurement based matrix calculation method were compared. In addition, LNA circuit is designed by using deembedded inductors and fabricated by using standard $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process, in the range over the 2.5GHz it shows the good agreements between measurement and simulation results when the proper deembedding was adapted. Supposed deembedding techniques can be used to get the pure on-chip devices's values and adapted to design accurate RFIC circuit design.
