Abstract
An inductor includes a first air-bridge section and a second air-bridge section. The first air-bridge unit extends in a floating location over a substrate between a plurality of support locations on the substrate. The second air-bridge unit extends in a floating location over the first air-bridge unit between a plurality of support locations on the first air-bridge unit. This arrangement enables the first and second air-bridge sections to be connected in parallel, thus branching a flowing current. Thus, the conductor loss in each of the first and second air-bridge sections is reduced.
