Claim:
1. An inductor apparatus comprising: multiple subassemblies including a plurality of conductive elements and a dielectric; the plurality of conductive elements having similar dimensions, each formed as an individual patch of conductive material without a curved propagation path, the plurality of conductive elements arranged in a vertical stack with respect to one another, wherein the plurality of conductive elements comprise a top conductive element, a bottom conductive element, and one or more inner conductive elements of the vertical stack; and the dielectric disposed between at least two or more adjacent conductive elements of the plurality of conductive elements, the dielectric being sufficiently thin so as to provide a mutual inductance factor of at least one-half (½) or greater between the at least two or more adjacent conductive elements of the plurality of conductive elements, wherein the dielectric has a thickness less than a thickness of each of the at least two or more adjacent conductive elements of the plurality of conductive elements, wherein the multiple subassemblies are attached to one another with one or more adhesive layers.
