ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes an interlayer insulating film and an inductor. The inductor includes a first soft magnetic thin film pattern formed on the interlayer insulating film, the first soft magnetic film comprising a) at least one material selected from Fe, Co, Ni, or alloys thereof b) at least one element selected from Ti, Hf, or B, and c) N, a metal film pattern formed on the first soft magnetic thin film pattern and a second soft magnetic thin film pattern formed on the metal film pattern, the second soft magnetic thin film pattern comprising a) at least one material selected from Fe, Co, Ni, or alloys thereof; b) at least one element selected from Ti, Hf, or B; and c) N. Edges of the first soft magnetic thin film pattern, edges of the metal film pattern and edges of the second soft magnetic thin film pattern are vertically aligned.
