Hi ,

I am designing transformer. I follow the substrate definition of inductor on silicon

Top
-------- Strip -cond2
layer3 Via |resi|
-------- Strip cond
Layer2
---------
Layer1
//////GND//////

For transformer design , I have to use two different metal lines
Top
-------- Strip -cond2 cond
layer2 Via |resi| |hole|
-------- Strip diel2 diel
Layer1
//////GND/////

Is it correct sir? T I hereby attached the example design. Please see and tell your suggestion for transformer design.Please help me .













Urgent
 

What is your top? Air? I think you should add some substrate above cond2. I can't see your example. Software is ADS momentum?. Your stack-up for transformer design: Why you use two layers (resi and hole) for via definition?

Maybe some example:

Top [AIR]
subst
-------- Strip
subst Via
-------- Strip
subst
---------
Si
//////GND//////
 

Maybe post again your stack-up because a layer for vias seems not to be correct, it should be inside the substrate layer.
 

Hi,

I couldnt understand. I think , i incorporate your comments. Please see my design . Where i made wrong? Please correct it.

Hi, What is the purpose of take layer 1 and layer 4 here?? Is it to confine the fields around the inductor structure??
 

I dont know. I have seen some examples in ADS so I put.

Yes u r correct. Ill remove layer 1 and 4. Otherwise the design is ok.

Is it a transformer that u r trying to simulate or just an inductor?? Clearly the structure is an spiral inductor, and Planar transformers are totally different having cores and etc.. ?
 

i am trying mutual coupled inductors . Please explain where it is wrong?
