Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is an inductor structure. The inductor structure includes a base material, a plurality of bottom spiral conductors disposed on the base material, and at least one top spiral conductor disposed on the at least one bottom spiral conductor, and dielectric material separating the bottom, middle and top spiral conductors. A current path for high frequency operation is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for determining the number of turns in the at least one top spiral conductor and the at least one bottom spiral conductor.
