Abstract

Multilayer air-core inductors fabricated in a range of interconnection technologies which are MCM compatible are presented and compared. These consist of thick-film, low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC), printed circuit board (PCB) and fine-line plated copper on ceramic (copper plating). From a comparison of simulated and measured results, it can be concluded that a predictive design capability has been achieved for inductance and self-resonant frequency (SRF). Modelling of AC resistance and Q requires further investigation.
