Inductor element
First Claim
1. An inductor element, characterized in that said element comprises two conductors on a substrate, said conductors having respective inner and outer ends, a first conductor being positioned above the other conductor relative to the substrate, the first conductor being insulated from the other conductor, and the outer end of the first conductor is connected with the inner end of the other conductor, wherein the first conductor is an upper layer relative to the substrate and is used as an inductor conductor,wherein the other conductor is nearest the substrate and has an end that is open.

Abstract
An inductor element 10 effectively functions even when formed on a substrate and comprises two upper and lower conductors 1, 2 spirally formed on the front side of a semiconductor substrate 3. The conductors 1, 2 have substantially the same shape. When viewed from the above of the front side of the substrate 3, the two conductors 1, 2 are superposed one on the other almost exactly. Lead wires 6a, 6b are connected to the outer end (outer peripheral end) and the inner end (center end) of the conductor 1, respectively. The outer end of the conductor 1 is connected to the inner end of the conductor 2 through a connection wire 6c. The conductor 1 functions as an inductor conductor and is connected to a circuit provided on the semiconductor substrate 3 through the lead wires 6a, 6b.
