ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit is disclosed that includes a semiconductor substrate having a major body portion with a conductive layer having a predefined boundary and located on a first surface of the major body portion. An insulating layer is located over the conductive layer, over which an integrated inductor is located. An amplifier is connected between the integrated inductor and the conductive layer.
