摘要
We present a new approach to realizing high quality factor (Q) inductors using CMOS-compatible process steps only. The method is based on the preparation of very thick, buried oxide regions beneath the inductors to reduce parasitics. The behavior of inductors fabricated with a CMOS compatible, 3-level metal silicon technology conforms well with simulations.
