  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a positional analysis of a reference ground plane for Through-Silicon-Via (TSV)-based inductor implementation. A new inductor structure is proposed which uses fewer ground planes while still achieving the same functionality. Results were derived from a 3D full wave simulation performed up to 20 GHz.
