Abstract:
An inductor, comprising:first and second conductive segments formed in a semiconductor layer, the first and second conductive segments spaced apart in a first direction; a first dielectric layer formed on a portion of the semiconductor layer and the first and second conductive segments along the first direction; a conductive core formed over the first dielectric layer; a second dielectric layer formed over the semiconductor layer; at least first and second contact holes in the second dielectric layer, the first contact hole exposing a portion of the first conductive segment on a first side of the first dielectric layer and the second contact hole exposing a portion of the second conductive segment on a second side of the first dielectric layer, the second side being opposite the first side; and a conductive pattern segment formed over the second dielectric layer that electrically connects the first and second conductive segments via the first and second contact holes.
