This gradual changed inductor has less eddy-current effect than the conventional inductor of fixed metal width and space. So the series resistance can be reduced and the quality （Q） factor of the inductor relating to metal losses is increased. The obtained experimental results corroborate the validity of the proposed method. For a 6nH inductor on high-resistivity silicon at 2.46GHz,Q factor of 14.25 is 11.3% higher than the conventional inductor with the same layout size. This inductor can be integrated with radio frequency integrated circuits to gain better performance in RF front end of a wireless communication system.展开更多

Based on the new understanding of the scattering coefficients, contents of various structural entities in acidic NaF-AlF3 melts at 942-1 024 ℃ in previous research were reanalyzed. The new quantitative analysis results show that when cryolite ratio（CR） is less than 2, AlF4- is the dominant anion in the melts, and its mole fraction is about 0.70 for melts with CR=1.5 and 0.50 for melts with CR=2. When CR is more than 2.5, the mole fraction of AlF6^3- is relatively large, which is around 0.45 for melts with CR=2.5. Ionic structure of Na3AlF6-Al2O3 melts was investigated by UV-Raman spectroscopy. Octahedral AlF6^3- and tetrahedral AlF4- are proved to exist with possible partial replacement of F- by O^2-. Al2O2F4^2- with a large scattering coefficient also exists in the melts in which alumina concentration is more than 4% （mass fraction）. The increase of temperature causes blue-shift of the bands in the Raman spectra.展开更多
