  • Patent number: 11552030
    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a first metallization layer with first and second electrodes, each of which has electrode fingers. A second metallization layer may be included below the first metallization layer and include one or more electrodes with electrode fingers. The integrated circuit structure is configured to exhibit at least partial vertical inductance cancellation when the first electrode and second electrode are energized. The integrated circuit structure can be configured to also exhibit horizontal inductance cancellation between adjacent electrode fingers. Also disclosed is a simulation model that includes a capacitor model that models capacitance between electrode fingers having a finger length and includes at least one resistor-capacitor series circuit in which a resistance of the resistor increases with decreasing finger length for at least some values of the finger length.

  • Patent number: 10284166
    Abstract: An apparatus for a network matching switch is provided. The apparatus includes a primary winding, a first secondary winding, a second secondary winding and a plurality of matching network paths. The primary winding is configured to generate a magnetic field based on an analog input signal. The first secondary winding is configured is inductively coupled to the primary winding. The second secondary winding is inductively coupled to the primary winding. The plurality of matching network paths are coupled to the first secondary winding and the second secondary winding. An active path is selected from the plurality of matching network paths and provides power to an active load.
