Foundry’s First Virtual
Inductor/Transformer/Capacitor Libraries
UMC works with its EDA tool partners to deliver the industry's first parameterized design kits. Full wave simulation has been
performed on all kits within the Virtual Inductor / Transformer / Capacitor Libraries. The virtual libraries enable RFCMOS designers
to create and simulate custom inductor geometries that are based on UMC's processes. These libraries are built upon UMC's
Electromagnetic Design Methodology (EMDM), which allows engineers to easily and accurately create any RF structure. EMDM gives
designers the flexibility to innovate new geometries simply by editing parameters such as diameter, number of turns or width.

Optimum Inductor/Capacitor/Transformer Finder (OIF/OCF/OTF)
UMC offers the Optimum Inductor Finder (OIF) in the FDK package. The OIF gives designers the ability to quickly access a large library of
inductors accurately calibrated to UMC's silicon. It also allows users to perform inductor optimization through just a few simple steps
using the user-friendly interface. For instance, customers can define a desired inductor and make trade-offs between Q-factor and area.
The OIF will select a design that best fits the specifications in a matter of seconds.
In addition, UMC offers the Optimum Capacitor Finder (OCF) in the FDK package. The OCF gives designers the ability to quickly access
a large library of capacitors accurately calibrated to UMC's silicon. It also allows users to perform capacitor optimization through just a
few simple steps using the user-friendly interface. For instance, customers can define a desired capacitor and make trade-offs between
Q-factor and area. The OCF will select a design that best fits the specifications in a matter of seconds.
UMC also offers the Optimum Transformer Finder (OTF) in the FDK package. The OTF gives designers the ability to quickly access a large
library of transformers accurately calibrated to UMC's silicon. It also allows users to perform transformer optimization through just a few
simple steps using the user-friendly interface. For instance, customers can define a desired transformer and make trade-offs between
impedance and area. The OTF will select a design that best fits the specifications in a matter of seconds.
