Abstract
An inductive structure integrated in a semiconductor substrate, comprising at least a conductive element insulated from the substrate, comprising an insulating structure, which is formed inside said semiconductor substrate and built close to said conductor element, so that the resistance of said substrate is increased and the parasitic currents induced by the conductor element in the substrate are decreased. The insulating structure including a plurality of insulating elements each surrounding a respective one of a plurality of semiconductor islands of the substrate.
