Making Spiral Inductor Layout for EM simulations:

Upendra Ch

Hello,

I want to make the spiral inductor by using the layout and performing EM simulations. What is the procedure/instructions exactly follow to start? If there are any pdfs are available, It would be more helpful.

Thanks & Regards

Upendra Ch

    It's not clear what you're asking for (are you asking how to create layout? are you asking how to run EMX?). I suggest (since I've already suggested you contact customer support to get the proc file translator) that you ask customer support about this at the same time.

    Hello,

    Yes, sir. I am asking about layout for inductor making. Is there any proper procedure is there?

    There is not a single design process for designing the layout of a planar inductor with a set of desired inductor parameters. In essence, there are many physical topologies that can provide similar inductor values, but their other parameters can differ significantly. Further, the parameters of an inductor layout are a function of the specific process in which it is realized. Once a layout has been synthesized to meet a specific application in a specific process, it must be simulate in a 2.5D/3D simulator to verify its performance. There is an example in the Cadence RAK entitled "Introduction to EMX Planar 3D Solver" dated August 2020 at the On-line support site at URL:

    support.cadence.com/.../ArticleAttachmentPortal

    that may be of interest. This is not a set of guidelines to follow to design a planar inductor, but Module 2 starting on page 8 provides an example of simulating the inductance and Q of a planar inductor and subsequently generating an S-parameter file for simulating the layout in circuit simulators.

    As Andrew correctly noted, it might be best to discuss what your objective is when you contact customer support.
