Hy. Lee et al., Novel high-Q solenoidal inductor using bondwires for GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), JPN J A P 2, 38(12B), 1999, pp. L1523-L1524
A novel high quality (Q)-factor integrated inductor using bondwires is fabr
icated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate for high performance GaAs monoli
thic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC). The solenoidal inductor of verti
cal bondwires shows significant improvements of the Q-factor (38-63) and th
e resonant frequency (9.4-17 GHz) by virtues of the very low series resista
nce and parasitic capacitance.
