Abstract
An inductor has a conductor layer formed by multiple concentric co-planar turns of a first metal layer (e.g., ultra-thick metal (UTM)) adapted to receive current at a frequency of at least one gigahertz. The multiple turns of the first metal layer proceed from an innermost turn to an outermost turn, and a stacking layer of a second metal is provided over each of the first metal layer turns except at least the innermost turn, thereby optimizing the Q of the inductor.
