investigating the frequency dependence elements of cmos rfic interconnects for physical modeling
Various structures of on-wafer interconnect for CMOS RFICs fabricated by using 0.18um CMOS are investigated experimentally. The measured S-parameters in terms of the dimensions and frequencies are presented in the paper. Frequency dependence elements of interconnect is extracted from the measurement. A scalable physical model is derived and quantified using measurement results for straight top-metal interconnect.
