(2018). Electrothermal deterioration factors in gold planar inductors designed for microscale bio-applications. Microelectronic Engineering, 197, 61-66. DOI: 10.1016/j.mee.2018.05.006 This dataset contains: Datasets used in figures of the article "Electrothermal deterioration factors in gold planar inductors designed for microscale bio-applications" submitted in Microelectronic Engineering journal. The figures are as follows: Fig. 2. Thermal degradation of micro-coils, given by a steep increase in resistance as the current increases. (a) Samples I–III with a thickness of 1.95?µm and (b) Samples IV–VI with a thickness of 0.9?µm Fig. 3. Temperature over applied power for the six geometries. Fig. 4. The current density (rms values) of the geometries versus the temperature of the metal due to Joule heating. The deterioration points are plotted as red full circles. Fig. 5. The median time to fail (MTF) of each sample over the MTF of the sample IV, with the smaller cross section. Fig. 6. The maximum allowed peak value of current density pulses over the metal temperature Tm, for five different duty cycles (sample IV).
