Spiral inductors constructed in silicon IC technologies possess limited quality factors due to series resistive losses, and losses within the semiconducting substrate. A new model for the less understood substrate losses illustrates how these losses can be minimized, providing quality factor increases of up to 230 percent over un-optimized designs
