Abstract
SPIRAL inductors appear simple but are difficult to analyze. With the compl exity of a conductive silicon (Si) substrate, the problem challenges the mo st advanced modern analysis tools. Amazying, a free-of-charge electromagnet ic (EM)-analysis program called Sonnet Lite can be used to provide a high-a ccuracy solution to this problem.
