Abstract
A monolithic thick film inductor is made by printing alternating conductive layers and dielectric layers above one another, using the same dielectric printing screen and the same conductor printing screen for printing each of the dielectric layers and the conductive layers respectively. Each of the coil printing screen and the dielectric screen are indexed to n different positions in order to print each of the n layers. The resulting inductor includes a plurality of helical coil segments stacked above one another and electrically connected to one another to create the desired number of coil turns.
