Question

Inductors are not used in Integrated Circuits?

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in class test.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Semiconductor Electronics topic in chapter Semiconductor Electronics : Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits of Physics – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Yes, this is a true statement. In comparison with the sizes of all the other devices that are used in Integrated Circuits, inductors are fairly huge. Making small inductors with desired characteristics is very expensive, therefore, designers try not to use inductors in Integrated circuits.
