Semiconductor device

Abstract

A semiconductor device, including a semiconductor substrate having an element region on a surface thereof, an electrical element being formed in the element region; an insulating layer formed on the semiconductor substrate and covering the electrical element; and an inductor formed on the insulating layer and overlapping with the element region. In an exemplary embodiment, the element region is free from being overlapped by a center axis of the inductor. In another exemplary embodiment, the inductor includes a wiring region, a center region, and a wiring pattern formed in the wiring region and winding spirally to surround the center region, the element region being free from being overlapped by the center region. In a further exemplary embodiment, the inductor includes a voltage controlled oscillator, and the electrical element is electrically connected to the inductor and includes at least one of a varactor and a MOSFET.
