Abstract
An inductor fabricated for semiconductor use is disclosed. The inductor is formed with a multi-level, multi-element conductor metallization structure which effectively increases conductance throughout the inductor thereby increasing the inductor's Q. The structure of the inductor may also provide for routing the current flowing through the multi-level, multi-element conductors in a way that increases the self inductance between certain conductive elements, thereby increasing the inductor's total inductance.
