Abstract:
A multiple layer inductor comprising;a substrate of semiconductor material; a first patterned conductor layer having a predesigned geometric shape and being formed on a surface of said substrate of semiconductor material, said first patterned conductor layer including a first loop defining a first end and a second end and being dimensioned and arranged to provide a first portion of a desired inductance value; a layer of insulating material disposed over said first patterned conductor layer; and a second patterned conductor layer having a predesigned geometric shape and being formed on a surface of said layer of insulating material, said second patterned conductor layer including a first loop defining a first end and a second end and being dimensioned and arranged to provide a second portion of a desired inductance value; wherein a first end of the first loop of said first patterned conductor layer is interconnected to a first end of the first loop of said second patterned conductor layer by a conductive link extending through said layer of insulating material, and wherein at least one of said first and second patterned conductor layers further includes a second loop having a first end and a second end and being dimensioned and arranged to provide a third portion of a desired inductance value, a first end of said second loop being interconnected to a second end of one of said first loops by a conductive link extending through said layer of insulating material.
