Abstract
A method for fabricating a microelectronic circuit having an improved electrically conductive element. The method includes providing a finished processed microelectronic circuit having a monolithically integrated coil and having a passivation layer situated above at least the monolithically integrated coil. The method further comprises removing at least part of the passivation layer above the monolithically integrated coil and applying a metal layer above the monolithically integrated coil so that the metal layer is electrically coupled to the monolithically integrated coil.
