Patent ID: 7868727

Claim:
An inter-helix inductor device, comprising: a multi-layered dielectric substrate; a first terminal disposed on the first surface of the dielectric substrate; a first inter-helix spiral coil comprising: a first clockwise winding coil with one end connecting to the first terminal and with at least one winding turn through the multi-layered dielectric substrate; and a first counter clockwise winding coil having at least one winding turn through the multi-layered dielectric substrate and inter-wound with the first clockwise winding coil, wherein the first clockwise and first counter clockwise winding coils are connected by a first interconnection; a second inter-helix spiral coil comprising: a second clockwise winding coil with at least one winding turn through the multi-layered dielectric substrate; and a second counter clockwise winding coil having at least one winding turn through the multi-layered dielectric substrate and inter-wound with the second clockwise winding coil, wherein the second clockwise and second counter clockwise winding coils are connected by a second interconnection; a third interconnection connecting the first inter-helix spiral coil and the second inter-helix spiral coil; and a second terminal disposed on the dielectric substrate, connecting one end of the second counter clockwise winding coil, and being adjacent to the first terminal, wherein the first, the second and the third interconnections pass through the multi-layered dielectric substrate.
