Design of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Based Embedded Inductors

Carbon nanotubes enable us to replace conventional metal to achieve high-value inductors with high quality factors. The values of inductance and quality factors are critical to high-quality RF product design. Current spiral inductors are widely used in many RF circuits such as cell phones and wireless routers. It is desirable to achieve low power, low phase noise, and wide bandwidth wireless systems with high Q inductors. This paper describes the design and simulation of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) based stacked inductors.
