Hi!
Does anybody could tell what is a practical minimum value for the bondwire inductance?
i'm working at 2.4 GHz and 90 nm technology.
thanks

PS: if you know typical pad capacitance value will be also very helpfull
 

As a rule of thumb, 0.8nH/mm is pretty well approximation for bond-wires.
However, this inductance value is quite variable with neighbor bond-wires due to mutual couplings that is dependent on package,die-pad,sequencing etc.
Therefore, the package which is in your application should be simulated in a 3D EM simulator and a SPICE model should be obtained for a more accurate result.
 

thats right, but I mean a minimum total value.
the question could also be, for using the inductance/long data, how short could the bond wire be fabricated? (a practical value)

why do I wanna know this?
I'm designing a CS LNA, I have a lot of posible designs (from theoretical-simulation methodology) and I want to discard those with non practical values for passive elements, in this case inductors.
 

Nobody say something without information about your package level...
They can be 0.3mm or 2mm.. or something else..
You should also know about package height,die-pad thickness, bonding bending etc.
So, it's not so easy to say "that is it"..
