## Abstract On‐chip spiral inductors with sufficient quality factors are very important in many RF circuits. Based on the magnetic field intensity of a spiral inductor increasing gradually from outside to inside, this article presents a novel inductor structure with gradually changed metal width an

✦ Synopsis
The influence of flip-chip assembly on a 2.4-GHz fully integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is studied. Oscillation frequency and phase noise differ by 17.7% and 9.4 dB, respectively, between flip-chip assembly and package. Measurement and simulation are compared and show excellent agreement. Mutual inductance is found to be the origin of the degradation of the inductor's characteristics.
