- the wiring width of M6 wiring 9 is 10 ⁇ m, and the wiring width of M5 wiring 6, M4 wiring 7, and M3 wiring 8 is 3 ⁇ m.
- the interlayer film thickness is about 0.9 ⁇ m between M6 wiring 9 and M5 wiring 6, between M5 wiring 6 and M4 wiring 7, and between M4 wiring 7 and M3 wiring 8 is about 0.3 ⁇ m.
- the outermost peripheral wiring of the first inductor L 1 as viewed from above the base body 16 is shaped to form a square having a side of 120 ⁇ m, and the second inductor L 2 is provided outside the wiring.
- the first inductor L 1 can reduce the upper and lower wiring interlayer parasitic capacitances.
- the inductor of the present invention can obtain a high Q value and a high self-resonant frequency.
- the inductor of the present invention can improve the characteristics of the inductor by reducing the parasitic capacitance between the upper and lower wires.
- the second inductor L 2 may be substantially at the same position as the first inductor L 1 when viewed from above the base body 16. However, it may be inside the first inductor L 1.
- Example 8 In Example 8 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 18, both terminals L1 connected to the start end AL1-IN and the end D of L 1 of the inductor of Example 4 (FIGS.
- the source terminal S and drain terminal D of the n-type MISFET 5 were connected to -I and L1-OUT.
- the source terminal S was fixed at the ground potential.
- the gate voltage Vent is applied to the gate terminal G of the n-type MISFET 5. This prevents noise caused by the inductor potential becoming unstable.
- the element connected to L 1 may be p-type instead of n-type. N-type and p-type may be connected in parallel.
- MESFET Electrotal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor
- MISFET Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor
- Figure 19 shows the change in the inductance of L2 when the gate voltage Vent applied to the gate terminal G of the n-type MISFET 5 is changed. As can be seen from Fig. 19, the inductance value can be varied by changing the gate voltage.
- the inductor of this embodiment can reduce the upper and lower adjacent wiring capacity on the L1 side as described in the embodiment 4, the upper limit of the bandwidth caused by the wiring capacity when the variable inductor is used. It is possible to suppress a decrease in frequency.
- variable inductor of this embodiment uses MISFETs at both ends of L 1, but it is sufficient that the voltage at both ends of L 1 can be changed in an analog manner.
- Various elements capable of analog value change can be used as appropriate. Further, when various elements capable of analog voltage change are used at both ends of L 1 of the inductors of Examples 5 to 7, the same effect as in this example can be obtained.
