    Abstract

    An optimized Saddle-add-on metallization process is used on surface passivated high resistivity silicon substrate to implement very high quality (Q) factor inductors. Test inductors with 5 and 10 nH inductance values are realized and measured to have maximum Q values of 37 at 1.5 GHz and 32 at 900 MHz respectively. Keywords: Passive devices, Micromachining, RFIC, Inductors.
