An object of the present invention is to mount both a RF circuit including
an inductor formed therein and a digital circuit on a single chip.MOSFETs
are formed on a semiconductor substrate 1 in regions isolated by an
element isolation film 2. A plurality of low-permittivity insulator rods
including a low-permittivity insulator embedded therein and penetrating a
first interlevel dielectric film 4 to reach the internal of the silicon
substrate are disposed in the RF circuit area 100. An inductor 40 is
formed on the interlevel dielectric film in the RF circuit area by using
multi-layered interconnects. A high-permeability isolation region in
which a composite material including a mixture of high-permeability
material and a low-permittivity material is formed in the region of the
core of the inductor and periphery thereof.
