An apparatus and method for fabricating high value inductors embedded on
semiconductor integrated circuit. The apparatus and method involve
forming a conductor on the semiconductor substrate. Once the conductor is
formed, a polymer material is provided on the substrate surrounding the
conductor. The polymer material contains a ferromagnetic material so that
the permeability of the polymer is greater than one. In various
embodiments, the ferromagnetic material may be any one of a number of
different high permeable materials such as iron oxide, zinc, manganese,
zirconium, samarium (SA), neodymium (NA), cobalt, nickel or a combination
thereof.
