Frequency domain non-linear compact modelling and simulation of IC spiral inductors on silicon

Brinson Mike

International Journal of Microelectronics and Computer Science

Vol. 9, nr 1

SPICE AC circuit simulation is fundamentally a small signal network analysis of a linear or non-linear circuit operating at specified DC bias conditions, where the electrical network component values are assumed not to be functions of AC input signal frequency. In the case of RF circuit simulation this assumption can give rise to significant modelling errors. With the recent improvements in General Public License (GPL) circuit simulators this situation is changing, particularly through the introduction of Frequency Dependent Equation-Defined Device (FEDD) models, non-linear current/voltage static and dynamic Equation-Defined Device (EDD) models and user controlled swept signal frequency simulation employing Harmonic Balance steady state analysis. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a number of novel modelling and circuit simulation techniques that allow, and enhance, the construction of compact device models with embedded behavioural components whose non-linear properties are functions of AC input signal frequency. To demonstrate these new modelling techniques a compact model for a 10 GHz band width spiral inductor integrated on silicon is introduced, its compact model presented, and finally its simulation performance compared with published measured device data.

Verilog-A Compact Semiconductor Device Modelling and Circuit Macromodelling with the QucsStudio-ADMS "Turn-Key" Modelling System

The Verilog-A "Analogue Device Model Synthesizer" (ADMS) has in recent years become an established modelling tool for GNU General Public License circuit simulator development. Qucs and ngspice are two examples of open source circuit simulators that employ ADMS for compact semiconductor model construction. This paper presents a "turn- key" compact device modelling and circuit macromodelling system based on ADMS and implemented in the QucsStudio circuit design, simulation and manufacturing environment. A core feature of the new system is a modelling procedure which does not require users to manually patch, by hand, circuit simulator C++ code. At the start of QucsStudio simulation the software automatically detects any changes in Verilog-A model code, re-compiling and dynamically linking the modified code to the body of the QucsStudio cod e. The inherent flexibility of the "turn-key" system encourage s rapid experimentation with analogue and RF compact device models and circuit macromodels. In this paper QucsStudio "turn-key" modelling is illustrated by the design of a single stage RF amplifier circuit and the Harmonic Balance large signal AC simulation of a 50 Ω RF diode switch.
