A new concept for a micro-coil is presented. The micro-coil will be used as a sensor that measures the flexion of fingers. For this purpose several micro-coils are mounted on a data glove. Though the coil is fabricated by means of silicon bulk micromachining it is possible to move an iron core through the coil without destroying the windings. The inductance of the full coil is 0.25 µH without a core and 7.2 µH with a core. The ohmic resistance has a value of 60 .
