  • Abstract
    In this paper, fabrication and performance of RF MEMS planar spiral inductors is presented. The fabrication process is simple, using surface micromachined technology with three masks. Two types of spiral inductor were fabricated and the measured results showed that the spiral inductors had high performance at high frequency. The maximum quality of the spiral inductor-Type A is 15.8 at 1.4 GHz with inductance of 4.61 nH. The maximum quality of the spiral inductor-Type B is 19.7 at 4.1 GHz with inductance of 1.40 nH.
