Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact monolithic integrated circuit with superior electrical characteristics, particularly Q-values, of inductive elements with respect to electrical characteristics. SOLUTION: A monolithic integrated circuit 1 with an incorporated inductive element 20 has a semiconductor substrate layer 2, a passivation layer 4 covering the semiconductor substrate layer 2 and metallic contact pads 5 which are connected to the substrate 2 and pierce the passivation layer 4, in order to have the pad surfaces on the same plane as the top surface 6 of the passivation layer 4. The integrated circuit also includes the whirlpool shape winding 20, formed in a plane parallel with a top surface 6 of the passivation layer 4. The winding 20 consists of copper turns 21-23, 27 and 28 with thicknesses of not smaller than 10 μm. The ends of the winding 20 are extended downward from the winding plane, so as to form extended parts 12 connected to the contact pads 5.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microelectric element, such as the microinductor, microtransformer, etc., having a satisfactory Q-factor or a large self-inductance value. SOLUTION: In a method for manufacturing a microelectric element, channels are formed in a substrate 1 by etching and copper segments 7 are formed in the channels. Then the upper surfaces of the segments 7 and the upper surface of the substrate 1 are made even, and at least one layer constituting a core is formed on the upper surfaces of the substrate 1 and the segments 7. Thereafter, the core is etched so that the core may be left only on bands and a plurality of arches 18 each of which couples one end of a certain segment 7, with one end of its adjacent segment 7 over the core being electrolytically grown astride over the core.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an inductor element, which has a superior Q-value at a low frequency and works at a high frequency, by providing a quartz substrate layer and an inductor formed of a spirally wound metal strip and using copper having a specific thickness or larger for the metallic strip. SOLUTION: An inductor element 1 is provided with a quartz substrate 2, on which a winding composed of a metallic strip 3 is arranged. The metal strip 3 forming an inductor is formed by using copper and spirally wound so as to form an inductor coil. The thickness of the strip 3 used is >=10 μm, close to about 30 μm. In addition, the quartz substrate 2 is covered with a polyimide layer, which is arranged between the substrate 2 and strip 3 forming the inductor. Particularly a segment 8, which connects the central part 9 of the spirally wound body to the end section 10 of the strip 3 which becomes one of two connecting terminals, is constituted so that the segment 8 passes through the polyimide layer.
