Patent ID: 7619297

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a substrate; an interconnect level overlying the substrate, wherein the interconnect level comprises a first interconnect and a second interconnect; a shock-absorbing layer overlying the interconnect level, wherein the shock-absorbing layer includes a first opening over the first interconnect and a second opening over the second interconnect; and a first inductor including conductive traces and at least one looped wire, wherein: the conductive traces include a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace; a first via pad portion of the first conductive trace extends to the first opening of the shock-absorbing layer and is electrically connected to the first interconnect, and a primary pad portion of the first conductive trace overlies the shock-absorbing layer; a secondary pad portion of the second conductive trace overlies the shock-absorbing layer, and a via portion of the second conductive trace extends to the second opening of the shock-absorbing layer and is electrically connected to the second interconnect; a first looped wire of the at least one wire is wire bonded to the primary pad portion of the first conductive trace; and the first looped wire or a second looped wire of the at least one wire is wire bonded to the secondary pad portion of the second conductive trace.
