layers to reduce the parasitic capacitance further two or more insulation layers 82 may be provided between every two neighboring winding layers 55 a 55 b as shown in the inductor structure 80 of fig1 depending on the area available in some embodiments three or more layers of insulation tape may be provided between neighboring winding layers in the inductor the insulation tape may have a thickness of a few mils 1 mil 0 001 inch thus each layer of insulation tape may provide an additional spacing of a few mils between neighboring layers of the inductor winding the insulation layers may be provided with insulation tape or with any other suitable insulator that can be placed between adjacent windings of an inductor insulation tape has a relative permittivity of about 1 to about 5 in general the insulation layers provided between adjacent winding layers may have a relative permittivity of between about 1 and 5 to reduce the parasitic capacitance between adjacent layers it may be desirable for the insulation material to have a permittivity less than 3 to further reduce the parasitic capacitance further embodiments may utilize a u201c z u201d winding configuration together with a plural number of layers of insulation tape.
