ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for forming an inductor on a spherical shaped integrated circuit for use in a rectifier circuit and/or an antenna. The integrated circuit is formed around a spherical substrate and includes a conductive layer. Signal lines formed from of the conductive layer wrap around the spherical substrate to form an inductor. The inductor may be used to create a transformer or an antenna.
