Recent advances in TSV inductors for 3D IC technology

In this paper, we present a summary of 3D TSV inductors and their advances in RF applications. We describe a new inductor structure that uses fewer ground planes with the same functionality. Results were derived from a 3D full-wave simulation performed up to 2 GHz.
