1. A transformer comprising:
- a first inductor having an at least one trench, the at least one trench having a pair of walls and a bottom;
a first conductor defining a first signal path along the pair of walls and the bottom of the at least one trench of the first inductor;
a first magnetic layer defining a second signal path parallel to the first signal path along the pair of walls and the bottom of the at least one trench of the first inductor;
a second inductor having an at least one trench, the at least one trench having a pair of walls and a bottom;
a second conductor defining a third signal oath along the pair of walls and the bottom of the at least one trench of the second inductor;
a second magnetic layer defining a fourth signal path parallel to the third signal path along the pair of walls and the bottom of the at least one trench of the second inductor.

Abstract
A transformer comprises a first inductor and a second inductor. The first inductor has one or more trenches and comprises a first conductor defining a signal path along the one or more trenches of the first inductor. The second inductor has one or more trenches and comprises a second conductor defining a signal path along the one or more trenches of the second inductor.
