Physics-based closed-form inductance expression for compact modeling of integrated spiral inductors

A closed-form inductance expression for compact modeling of integrated inductors is presented. The expression is more accurate than previously published closed formulas. Moreover, due to its physics-based nature, it is scalable. That is demonstrated by comparison with the measured inductance for a complete set of inductors with different layout parameters.
