Through via inductor or transformer in a high-resistance substrate with programmability

摘要

An inductor formed in a high-resistance substrate, the inductor comprising: a plurality of through-vias in the high-resistance substrate; a plurality of conductive traces on the top surface of the substrate, each conductive trace coupling one of the through-vias to another of the through-vias; and a plurality of conductive traces on the bottom surface of the substrate, each conductive trace coupling one of the through-vias to another of the through-vias; wherein, the plurality of conductive traces on the top and bottom surfaces and the plurality of through-vias form a continuous conductive path.
