Now I am using HFSS to simulate a on-chip spiral inductor in a 130nm CMOS technology.
I am a newer in HFSS and have been confused by it for two weeks.
I simulation a spiral inductor having exactly the same dimension with the inductor mentioned in the technology manuals. but the HFSS simulation results is totally different with the measurement results in the manual.
the following is the comparison between the HFSS results and the measurements:
Freq range(GHz) Q-peak inductance (nH)
Measurement 10~30 22 at 18GHz 0.4~0.3(decrease with freq)
HFSS results 10~30 4 at 10GHz(decrease with freq) 0.4(increase with freq)
I add my HFSS files here. Could someone help me to find where is the mistake?
I really appreciate your help!
