  • Abstract
    The impacts of metallization proximity for copper spiral inductors on silicon have been investigated in this paper. Performance of the spiral inductor versus area consumption trade-off with respect to its core diameter is evaluated qualitatively for the first time. Effects of the inductor´s proximate grounded metallization on its overall inductive performance are also analyzed.
