For circular spiral inductors on silicon substrates, it is shown that when the temperature increases from 25°C to 85°C, the peak values of Q-factor (Q max) of inductors, corresponding to the turn number N = 3 to 7, decrease about 8.8% to 19%, respectively. The metal trace and silicon substrate resistances both increase linearly with temperature, while the capacitance of silicon substrate has a negative temperature coefficient. For a square spiral inductor on GaAs substrate, its Q max decreases about 37.2% as temperature increases from 25 °C to 185 °C. The corresponding frequency f max tends to shift from 9.44 GHz to 7.73 GHz. and it is reduced about 18.1%. | Source Title: | International Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/83151 | ISSN: | 01959271 | DOI: | 10.1023/B:IJIM.0000047443.74769.7b |
