Abstract
In this study, we propose that the structures of 2-layer spiral planar inductors have a lower spiral coil and via increasing inductance in limited possession are and confirm the frequency characteristics. The structures of inductors have Si thickness of $300{\mu}m$, $SiO_2$ thickness of $7{\mu}m$. The width of Cu coils and the space between segments have $20{\mu}m$, respectively. The number of turns of coils have 3. The performance of spiral planar inductors was simulated to frequency characteristics for inductance, quality-factor, SRF(Self- Resonance Frequency) using HFSS. The 2-layer spiral planar inductors have inductance of 3.2nH over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.8 GHz, quality-factor of maximum 8.2 at 2.5 GHz, SRF of 5.8 GHz. Otherwise, 1-layer spiral planar inductors have inductance of 1.5nH over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.8 GHz, quality-factor of maximum 18 at 8 GHz, SRF of 19.2 GHz.
