A method for manufacturing high performance copper inductors includes providing a tall, Cu laminate spiral inductor is formed at the last metal level, and at the last metal +1 level, with the metal levels being interconnected by a bar via having the same spiral shape as the spiral metal inductors at the last metal level and the last metal +1 level. The method includes integrating the formation of thick inductors with the formation of bond pads, terminals and interconnect wiring with the last metal +1 wiring. Included are dielectric deposition and spacer formation steps, and/or selective deposition of a passivating metal such as CoWP, to passivate a Cu inductor that is formed after the last metal layer.
