Abstract

In this paper, a novel physical structure for planar spiral inductors is proposed. The spiral inductors were designed and fabricated on multi-layered substrate Bragg-reflector/silicon (BR/Si) wafer. The impacts of multi-layered structure substrate and pattern on characteristics of inductor were studied. Experimental results show that the inductor embedded on Bragg reflector/silicon substrate can achieve the best improvement. At 0.4-1.6 GHz, the Bragg reflector seems to significantly increase the $S_{11}-parameter$ of the inductor.
