Parasitic magnetic coupling is a major design challenge for integrated circuit designers.
Fundamentally, it originates in conventional spiral inductors because the magnetic field is
not localized, extending far beyond the perimeter. This paper introduces a twisted winding
scheme for inductors that increases the localization of the magnetic field, reducing parasitic
magnetic coupling by as much as 3100X and the edge-to-edge spacing of inductors by 10X.
These results are validated in a 0.18 mum CMOS process.
