Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first and second semiconductor wafer, a bonding layer, a first and second interconnect structure, an inductor, and a through substrate via. The first semiconductor wafer has a first device in a first side of the first semiconductor wafer. The second semiconductor wafer is over the first semiconductor wafer. The bonding layer is between the first and the second semiconductor wafer. The first interconnect structure is on a second side of the first semiconductor wafer. The inductor is below the first semiconductor wafer. At least a portion of the inductor is within the first interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure is on the first side of the first semiconductor wafer. The through substrate via extends through the first semiconductor wafer. The inductor is coupled to at least the first device by the second interconnect structure and the through substrate via.
