We propose a novel on-chip variable inductor using MEMS, whose inductance is order of nH for GHz application, The fundamental structure is similar to the conventional plane-type spiral inductor. The inductance value can be changed by the height of the spiral. For precise impedance matching in the RF circuit, it is required to vary the values of capacitance, inductance and resistance []. Recently, using MEMS technology, several kinds of inductors are developed. However, There has been no report on the variable inductor. This paper is the first report on the on-chip variable inductor using high ductility metal. The measured and simulated performance of the variable inductor is presented.
