Abstract
An IC inductor structure is provided which includes a first inductor element formed on a semiconductor substrate and at least a second inductor element formed on the semiconductor substrate proximate the first inductor element. The first inductor element has a first effective magnetic field direction associated therewith, and the second inductor element has a second effective magnetic field direction associated therewith. The first and second inductor elements are oriented relative to one another so as to create a non-zero angle between the first and second effective magnetic field directions.
