Abstract:
A method of creating a vertical spiral inductor containing horizontal and vertical conductors of a width Wc, said width having a direction separated by spacing further containing a first and a second input/output connector, said vertical spiral inductor containing a body that is bounded by a base horizontal conductor, two outer vertical conductors and said second input/output connector, whereby said vertical spiral inductor can be viewed in a direction of width that is parallel with said surface of said substrate resulting in a horizontal view one of said inductor, comprising the steps of:providing a semiconductors substrate, said substrate having a surface; depositing a base layer of dielectric having a surface over said surface of said substrate; creating a base section of said vertical spiral inductor having a surface further having a height Hb and a width Wc, said base section being created on said surface of said base layer of dielectric; creating a lower section of said vertical spiral inductor having a height Hl, said lower section being created overlying said surface of said base section; creating a first input/output connector section having a height Hfio further having a surface, said first input/output section being created on said surface of said lower section; creating an upper section of said vertical spiral inductor having a surface further having a height Hu, said upper section being created on said surface of said first input/output section; and creating a second input/output connector section having a surface further having a height Hsio, said second input/output section being created on said surface of said upper section.
