Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a layer of semiconductor material; gate structures formed overlying the layer of semiconductor material; a first continuous ring-shaped active region defined in the layer of semiconductor material including field effect transistors for the semiconductor device; a layer of dielectric material formed overlying the gate structures and overlying the first continuous ring-shaped active region; a conductive inductor loop formed overlying the layer of dielectric material, wherein the field effect transistors are controlled to modulate inductance associated with the conductive inductor loop; a secondary ring-shaped region of active semiconductor material that is isolated from the first continuous ring-shaped active region defined in the layer of semiconductor material, the secondary ring-shaped region of active semiconductor material having secondary source and secondary drain regions defined therein; and secondary gate structures orthogonally overlying the secondary ring-shaped region of active semiconductor material; wherein:
