13. A method for fabricating a circuit component comprising:
-
providing a silicon substrate, a metallization structure over said silicon substrate, and a passivation layer over said metallization structure;
depositing a coil over said passivation layer;
forming a first polymer layer over said coil, an opening in said first polymer exposing a metal pad connected to said coil;
after said forming said first polymer layer, depositing an under bump metallization in said opening; and
after said depositing said under bump metallization, depositing a solder bump connected to said metal pad. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
