    A broadband and scalable 2-T model is developed to accurately simulate fully symmetric inductors with various dimensions. The 2-T model is defined to reflect the structure of an equivalent circuit with two identical T-model circuits. Two-step de-embedding is assisted by open and through pads for extraction of intrinsic characteristics. The accuracy is validated by 3-D fullwave electromagnetic simulation. A novel parameter extraction flow is established, and a single set of model parameters is derived to be valid for both single-ended and differentially driven topologies. The broadband accuracy is proven by a good match with S-parameters, L(omega), Re(Z(in)(omega)),and Q(omega) over frequencies up to 20 GHz. The scalability is justified by good fitting with either a linear or a parabolic function of spiral coil radii. Furthermore, all model parameters are frequency independent so as to ensure computation efficiency. This 2-T model consistently predicts the enhancement of Q(max) by 20%-30% for the symmetric inductors under a differential excitation. The Q improvement is even better than 100% over broader frequencies beyond f(m)(Q(max)).

    A broadband and scalable model is developed to accurately simulate on-chip inductors with various dimensions and substrate resistivities. The broadband accuracy is proven over frequencies of up to 20 GHz, even beyond resonance. A new scheme of resistance-inductance-capacitance networks is deployed for the spiral coils and substrate to account for 3-D eddy current, substrate return path, and spiral coil to substrate coupling effects. The 3-D eddy current is identified as the key element essential to accurately simulate the broadband characteristics. Electromagnetic simulation using the Advanced Design System momentum is conducted to predict the on-chip inductor performance corresponding to a wide range of substrate resistivities (rho(Si) = 0.05 - 1 k ohm center dot cm). Three operation modes such as transverse electromagnetic mode, slow-wave mode, and eddy current mode are reproduced. The model parameters manifest themselves as physics-based through relevant correlation with psi over three operation modes. The onset of slow-wave mode can be consistently explained by a key element R-p introduced in our model, which accounts for the conductor loss due to an eddy current arising from magnetic field coupling through a substrate return path. This broadband and scalable model is useful for radio frequency circuit simulation. In addition, it can facilitate an optimum design of on-chip inductors through the physics-based model parameters relevant to varying substrate resistivities.
