1. An integrated circuit comprising an inductive element fabricated by:

  • forming a first dielectric layer in a manner that varies in the Z-dimension; and

    forming a first conductive layer over the first dielectric layer, the first conductive layer also varying in the Z-dimension, the first conductive layer having a length and a width, the length being substantially greater than the width, the first conductive layer being arranged in a substantially straight line along the X-dimension, and the first conductive layer comprising upper segments and lower segments, the upper segments being longer than the lower segments;

    wherein, in forming the first conductive layer, the first conductive layer comprises magnetic material.
