Abstract

Ferromagnetic inductors with various geometries and permalloy thin film patterns were fabricated on the standard silicon substrate with a fully CMOS compatible process. The ferromagnetic resonance effects on the inductors were studied with the applied magnetic fields in different orientations. It showed that with the properly applied magnetic field, the ferromagnetic resonance for the patterned permalloy thin films can be pushed higher and the maximum quality factor for the ferromagnetic inductors can be improved. However, because the relative permeability decreases with increasing applied field, the trade-off between the effective inductance and the quality factor needs to be optimized for the practical designs.
