On-chip passive components such as interconnects, inductors and transformers are widely used in CMOS high speed digital, mixed-signal and radio frequency integrated circuits (ICs). Therefore, accurate modeling of circuit behavior, especially for these passive components, is crucial for first-time-right designs. This book focus on modeling and characterization of on-chip interconnects, inductors and transformers. Firstly, a fully scalable and SPICE-compatible interconnects model is established and is accurate over a wideband frequency range up to 110 GHz. Secondly, frequency- and temperature-dependent characteristics of on-chip coupled asymmetrical and symmetrical interconnects are investigated in detail. Furthermore, an eleven-element equivalent circuit model is established for on-chip spiral inductors. Additionally, a vertical tapered solenoidal inductor is designed to achieve a high resonance frequency. Finally, extensive studies on the performances of on-chip transformers with and...
