Abstract
An embedded inductor and a method for forming an inductor are described. Spaced apart first stripes are formed substantially parallel with respect to one another as part of a first metal layer. First contacts, second contacts, and third contacts in respective combination provide at least portions of posts. Spaced apart second stripes substantially parallel with respect to one another and to the first stripes are formed as part of a second metal layer located between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The first stripes, the posts, and the second stripes in combination provide turns of a coil.
