Stacked Inductor for LNA
Sep 01st, 2006, 1:22am
 
Hi,

I have used a Stacked Inductor with 9um width for LNA running at 10mA for my test chip. This clearly violates the electromigration rules. Will the metal melt or fail when I test it? Or is it just a concern at high temperature and lifetime expectancy?

Thanks
