• TITLE: Simplified Model of a Layer of Interconnects under a Spiral Inductor

  ABSTRACT: An empirical effective medium approximation that provides a homogeneous equivalent for a layer of interconnects un-derneath a spiral inductor is presented. When used as part of a numerical 3D model of the inductor, this approach yields a faster simulation that uses less memory, yet still predicts the quality factor and inductance to within 1%. We expect this technique to find use in the electromagnetic modeling of System-on-Chip.
