What is parasitic capacitance

What is parasitic capacitance? (April/May 2010)

In electrical circuits, parasitic capacitance is an unavoidable and usually unwanted capacitance that exists
between the parts of an electronic component or circuit simply because of their proximity to each other

Why inductors are difficult to fabricate in integrated circuits

No satisfactory integrated circuits exist if high Q inductors with inductance of values larger than 5 micro Henry are required they are usually supplied by a wound inductor which is connected externally to the chip. Therefore the use of inductor is normally avoided when integrated circuits are used.
