1. An integrated inductance, formed above a semiconductor substrate supporting a conductive contact recovery track, comprising:
- a flat winding having a turn and positioned above the substrate, in which the winding has a first winding portion that crosses above the contact recovery track, wherein the winding portion above said contact recovery track has a width that is reduced compared to a second winding portion that is not directly above the contact recovery track.

Abstract
The invention concerns an intgrated inductor (20), consisting of a flat winding of one or several turns (21, 22, 23) made of a conductive material above a substrate provided with at least a subjacent conductive level wherein is produced, through a contact pick-up strip (12′), at least an intersection of the winding, the width of at least one turn and/or one interval between two turns being reduced in line with said contact pick-up strip.

- 10. An integrated inductance, formed above a semiconductor substrate that supports a conductive contact recovery track, comprising a winding of several turns, in which the winding includes first and second winding portions that each cross the contact recovery track and are separated from each other by a first interval, wherein at least one of the first and second winding portions is reduced compared to a third winding portion that does not cross the contact recovery track or the first interval is reduced compared to intervals between portions of the winding that do not cross the contact recovery track.

12. An inductance device, comprising:
-
a semiconductor substrate;
a conductive contact recovery track supported by the substrate and having first and second ends;
an insulating layer on the contact recovery track; and
a conductive winding, on the insulating layer, having an internal end and an external end, the internal end being electrically connected to the first end of the contact recovery track, the winding having a winding section with a first width that is directly above the contact recovery track and a second width that is not directly above the contact recovery track, the first width being smaller than the second width. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
