Abstract

The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated circuit having an inductor with one or more turns arranged along vertical planes that intersect an underlying substrate. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit includes a plurality of conductive routing layers having conductive wires and conductive vias disposed within one or more dielectric structures abutting a first substrate. The plurality of conductive routing layers define an inductor having one or more turns respectively including a vertically extending segment arranged along a plane that intersects the first substrate. The vertically extending segment has a plurality of the conductive wires and the conductive vias.
