Abstract:
A method for forming an inductor structure is provided. The method includes forming a first metal layer over a substrate and forming an oxide layer over the first metal layer. The method also includes forming a magnetic material in and over the oxide layer, and the magnetic material includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion is directly over the oxide layer, and the second portion is in the oxide layer. The method further includes removing the first portion and a portion of the second portion of the magnetic material to form a magnetic layer, such that a recession is between the magnetic layer and the oxide layer. The method further includes forming a dielectric layer over the magnetic layer, wherein the recession is filled with the dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 3):
The method for forming an inductor structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the wet etching process comprises a lateral etching rate which is greater than a vertical etching rate of the wet etching process.
