ABSTRACT:
An inductor in an integrated circuit comprises a conductive trace disposed over an insulating layer which overlies a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and at least two deep wells of opposite conductivity type in the substrate underneath the track. In another embodiment, an inductor in an integrated circuit comprises a conductive trace disposed over an insulating layer which overlies a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type; a shallow trench isolation region formed in the substrate underneath the trace; and at least two deep wells of opposite conductivity type in the substrate underneath the shallow trench isolation region. The present invention also includes methods of manufacturing the aforementioned inductors.
