Abstract
There is provided a method of making two electrically separated inductors using deposition and wet-etching techniques, which inductors are formed by interwinding one of the inductors within the other inductor on the same planar level. In still another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of making various levels inductors, each level having at least two electrically separated inductors, using deposition and wet-etching techniques. The inductors on each planar level are formed by interwinding one of the inductors within the other inductor, and then stacking these in a preferred manner. In still another aspect, there is provided a manner of connecting together inductors formed according to the above methods in order to achieve various inductor configurations.
