My first design is coming up rather nicely :) An LC tank for a 60GHz VCO. I did PLS on the tank (asitic for the coil, magic PEX for the varactors) and it's starting to take shape! Still to do: cross-coupled pair, coil guard ring, output buffers.

One of the default PCells in the Klayout deck is a guard ring / shield for inductors

Thanks for the link :) But I meant something else. Shielding for inductors at these frequencies create more losses than just the Si eddy currents alone, I meant a P+ guard ring around the inductor to limit cross-talk. Actually, from my own experience, blocking the P- doping and the silicide inside/around the inductor is more effective than the shielding

@User In the PCells mentioned above, you could remove the Filler Metal.

Great work! Was the inductor itself part of the pcell or was it synthesized

Thanks! It's part of @User's Pcell generator :)

@User @User Could you please provide the link for the pcell gen
