New application note: Stacked Metal
Published on 11, Dec
The purpose of this document is to assist you with simulation of inductors that have stacked metal, connected by large via array.
Often, these via arrays cover the entire conductor area, making the analysis slow and take much memory. We will investigate the physical behaviour of the via array at high frequency, and derive better modelling techniques that are more efficient in terms of simulation time and memory.
New application note: Inductor Measured vs. Simulated
Published on 11, Dec
The purpose of this document is to assist you with resolving possible differences between simulated RFIC inductor results and values obtained from the design kit or from measurement.
This document is based on extensive practical experience. The author has worked for many years in RFIC inductor modelling, and worked closely with the modelling and measurement groups of different foundries.
