Passive components are indispensable in the design and development of microchips for high-frequency applications. Inductors in particular are used frequently in radio frequency (RF) IC's such as low-noise amplifiers and oscillators. This paper gives a broad overview on the on-chip spiral inductors. The design concept and modeling approach of the typical square-shaped spiral inductor are first addressed. This is followed by the discussions of advanced structures for the enhancement of inductor performance. Research works reported in the literature are summarized to aid the understanding of the recent development of such devices.

In this paper, a planar printed hybrid short/open-ended slot antenna with capacitive coupling feed strips is proposed for hepta-band mobile applications. The proposed antenna is comprised of a slotted ground plane on the top plane and two capacitive coupling feed strips with a chip inductor on the bottom plane. At the low frequency band, the short-ended long slot fed by strip 1 generates its half-wavelength resonance mode, whereas the T-shaped open ended slot fed by strip 2 generates its quarter-wavelength resonance mode for the high frequency band. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth covering GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 operation bands. Moreover, the antenna occupies a small volume of $15mm{\times}50mm{\times}1mm$. The operating principle of the proposed antenna and the simulation/measurement results are presented and discussed.

We have studied properties(crystal structure, density, absorption, contraction, initial permeability, and permeability) of Ni$_{0.175-x}$Cu$_{x}$Zn$_{0.33}$Fe$_{0.495}$ (x=0~0.175) ferrites with various NiO and CuO, because of development of materials for high frequency inductor. The XRD peaks of all of samples were observed only spine이 phase. As a results of the density, absorption rate, and shrinkage rate, the grain growth progressed rapidly in x=0.1 at 95$0^{\circ}C$, x=0.075 at 105$0^{\circ}C$, and x=0.025 at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. Initial permeability increased with increasing CuO concentration until x=0.1, and then decreased. The complex permeability as a function frequency were high values at sintered 105$0^{\circ}C$ fotr3 hours in x=0.075, 0.1., 0.1.1.

This paper presents the embedded inductors in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for PAM(Power Amplifier Module) of mobile terminations. The inductors are designed, simulated, and compared to conventional chip inductors. The Quality factor(Q) and self-resonance frequency(SRF) of the inductors are evaluated. The quality factors of the inductors are two times higher than those of the chip inductors, and the self-resonance frequency is 1.3 times higher than those of chip inductors at the inductance of 2.7 nH and 3.3 nH respectively.

In this study, nano-sized NiCuZn-ferrites for the multi-layered chip inductor application were prepared by a coprecipitation method and its electromagnetic properties were analyzed. Also, the property of low temperature sintering were studied with the initial heat treatment of powder.$(Ni_{0.4-x}Cu_xZn_{0.60})_{1+w}(Fe_2O_4)_{1-w}$ (x=0.2, w=0.03) were calcined at $300^{circ}C~750^{circ}C.$ The sintered NiCuZn-ferrites at $900^{\circ}C$ showed good apparent density $4.90g/cm^3,$ and magnetic properties of initial permeability 164 and quality factor 72. As the calcination temperature increase, the grain size of NiCuZn-ferrite increased with irregular grain distribution and its magnetic properties were deteriorated.
