    Abstract: The microelectromechanical component (1) is implemented on a semiconductor-material substrate (10) and comprises two input terminals (7,8), two output terminals (26,27), an input metallic coil (2) connected to the input terminals and generating a magnetic field when carrying an electric current, a mobile part (3) connected to the substrate (10) by at least one deformable portion and comprising pads (11,12) made of ferromagnetic material, and an output part (4) forming a magnetic sensor connected to the output terminals and capable of generating an electric signal which is variable as a function of the displacement of the mobile part (3). The mobile part (3) can be displaced by the effect of a force acting on the pad (11) due to the magnetic field generated by the input coil (2). The input metallic coil (2) is of type solenoid, as in the first and the second embodiments, and of type planar spiral as in in the third embodiment. The mobile part (3) is laid out along the axis (9) of the input solenoid (2) and comprises two pads (11,12) separated by a longitudinal beam (14). Each pad (11,12) is connected to a pad (16,17) fixed on the substrate (10) by the intermediary of a set of beams, transversal beams (18,19,20,21) and longitudinal beams (23,24). The longitudinal beams (23,24) are connected to the fixed pads (16,17) by the intermediary of pairs of transversal portions joined to the fixed pads (16,17). The pads (11,12) are made of ferromagnetically soft material which becomes magnetized by the effect of magnetic field generated by the input coil, or made of ferromagnetically hard material forming permanent magnets. The first pad (11) is subjected to the force due to the magnetic field generated by the input coil (2), and the second spiral, as in the third embodiment. The output part in the second embodiment is a magnetic sensor from the group comprising the Hall effect sensor, the flux magnetometer, the magneto-resistances, the magneto-diodes, and the magneto-inductive sensors.

    Abstract: An inductive component (1) comprises a quartz substrate (2) and a planar inductor coil of copper strip (3) of specified thickness. A novel inductive component (1) comprises a quartz substrate layer (2) and a planar inductor formed of a spirally wound copper strip (3) of greater than 10 mu m thickness. Independent claims are also included for the following: (i) an integrated transformer comprising a quartz substrate (2) and two planar inductor coils which are wound within one another and which are formed of copper strip (3) of greater than 10 mu m thickness; and (ii) an IC associated with the above inductive component or integrated transformer mounted by means of conductive spacer elements which provide electrical connections between IC connection pads and connection terminals of the inductive component or integrated transformer, the inductive component or integrated transformer being oriented with respect to the IC such that its face including the inductors faces the IC. Preferred Features: The strip is about 30 mu m thick. A polyimide layer is provided between the inductor (3) and the substrate (2) and within the strip segment (8) connecting the coil center (9) to the strip end (10) forming a connection terminal. The strip is coated with a gold layer on its surfaces other than those in contact with the substrate or the polyimide layer and the spaces between the facing surfaces of adjacent windings is free from any material. The strip forms a circular spiral or two parallel series-connected spirals, the spiral nearest the substrate being embedded in a polyimide layer which is covered with a silica barrier layer. Spacer elements, of height close to the strip thickness, are mounted on the connection terminal-forming ends of the strip and have a cylindrical shape with a diameter of about three times their height.
