Abstract
An integrated inductor and capacitor component is provided and includes a number of tapered conductors. Neighboring ones of the tapered conductors are separated by a gap extending along a length of the component. A first one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a first width w1 that is larger at a first end of the component and tapers along the length of the component toward a second end of the component, and a second one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a second width w2 that is larger at the second end of the component and tapers toward the first end of the component.
Claims26
An integrated inductor and capacitor component comprising:
- a plurality of tapered conductors, wherein neighboring ones of the tapered conductors are separated by a gap extending along a length of the component, wherein a first one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a first width w1 that is larger at a first end of the component and tapers along the length of the component toward a second end of the component, and wherein a second one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a second width w2 that is larger at the second end of the component and tapers toward the first end of the component.
An integrated inductor and capacitor component comprising:
- a plurality of tapered conductors arranged to form a loop, wherein neighboring ones of the tapered conductors are separated by a gap, wherein a first one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a first width w1 that is larger at a first end of the loop and tapers along the length of the component toward a second end of the loop, and wherein a second one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a second width w2 that is larger at the second end of the loop and tapers toward the first end of the loop.
A method for manufacturing an electrical component, the method comprising arranging a plurality of tapered conductors such that neighboring ones of the tapered conductors are separated by a gap extending along a length of the electrical component, wherein a first one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a first width w1 that is larger at a first end of the component and tapers along the length of the component toward a second end of the component, and wherein a second one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a second width w2 that is larger at the second end of the component and tapers toward the first end of the component.
A transformer comprising at least one integrated inductor and capacitor component having:
- a plurality of tapered conductors, wherein neighboring ones of the tapered conductors are separated by a gap extending along a length of the component, wherein a first one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a first width w1 that is larger at a first end of the component and tapers along the length of the component toward a second end of the component, and wherein a second one of the tapered conductors is characterized by a second width w2 that is larger at the second end of the component and tapers toward the first end of the component.
