Abstract
A spiral coil pattern is formed on a substantially rectangular insulation substrate of an inductor by photolithography. In the coil pattern, the electrode width of a portion of the pattern provided in the vicinity of the right short side of the substrate so as to be substantially parallel to the short side is wider than the electrode width of the other portion of the pattern. The interelectrode spacing of a portion of the pattern is wider than the interelectrode spacing of the other portion of the pattern. When the inductance of the inductor is required to be reduced to make the inductance a desired inductance value, the electrode width of the portion of the coil pattern is made wider in the inner direction of the coil pattern than the original electrode width.
