Perpendicular inductors integrated in a substrate

Abstract:

Some features pertain to a substrate, and a first inductor integrated into the substrate. The first inductor includes a plurality of first inductor windings in a first metal layer and a second metal layer. A second inductor is integrated into the substrate. The second inductor includes a first spiral in a third metal layer. The first spiral is located at least partially inside the plurality of first inductor windings, wherein the second inductor is perpendicular to the first inductor.
