An optimal design of square spiral integrated inductor using metaheuristic techniques

In this paper, the optimal sizing of CMOS RF square spiral integrated inductor utilizing three meta-heuristic techniques namely Ant Colony Optimization, Artificial Bee Colony and Differential Evolution is presented. The π-model is employed for the characterization of inductor behavior. In this optimization procedure, the geometrical parameters of the CMOS RF square spiral integrated inductor are considered as the design variables that satisfy the most important constraints such as the fixed value of required inductance 4nH at the operating frequency 2.4 GHz. The design of the integrated square spiral inductor is done with UMC 130 nm CMOS technology. A comparison between the used meta-heuristic techniques is emphasized. The optimization results are checked and validated by the mean of the Momentum advanced design system (ADS).
