Abstract:
1. A method for predicting inductance and self-resonant frequency of a spiral inductor, characterized by the steps of: (1). determining the material parameters and dimensions of a spiral inductor; (2). calculating magnetic factor α for determining paramagnetic and diamagnetic characteristic constrained by material and geometry of the spiral inductor determined in step (1); (3). evaluating kinetic energy (E (4). determining the self-resonant frequency ω (5). relying on the result in step (4) to calculate the frequency-dependent inductance of the two-port freely suspended spiral inductor; (6). relying on the results of steps (1) and (4) to determine the inductance; thus, the self-resonant frequency and inductance can be obtained wherein said kinetic energy (E where l where q is elementary charge, where r, N, V, and σ
