In this invention, a closed-form integral model for on-chip suspended rectangular spiral inductor is presented. The model of this invention bases on the Kramers-Kronig relations, field theory, and solid state physics to characterize a spiral inductor which RFIC designers could easily have the optimal design utilizing this analytical method. Meanwhile, this model can provide satisfactory prediction to the inductance and self-resonant frequency of the spiral inductor without complicated geometry analysis. Furthermore, unlike conventional formulations only based on circuit parameters, this model could safely predict the inductance and the self-resonant frequency when altering the material (excluding ferromagnetic materials) of a spiral inductor.
