Abstract

A closed form expression for the quality factor of the spiral inductor, methodologically, is presented as a function of the inductance ( $L_{ind}$ ), metal-line width (W), spacing (S), inner and the diameter ( $D_i$ ). For a given inductance, the dependences of quality factor on W, S, and $D_i$ are analyzed, and suggested the design optimization guidelines.
