Abstract:
An inductor can include a first substrate, a magnetic piece, and a conductor. The first substrate can be formed within a second substrate. The magnetic piece can be connected to a first side of the first substrate. The conductor can be formed within the second substrate, on the second substrate, or both. The conductor can have an input and an output. The conductor can be configured to surround the first substrate without being in contact with the first substrate and without being in contact with the magnetic piece.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit package includes a core such as a thin glass core with through-core vias. A photo-patternable material is disposed directly on surfaces of the core and in the through-core vias and is selectively patterned to expose at least an exposed portion of the surface of the core and the through-core vias. A metal layer, such as copper, is disposed in the exposed portion of the core and in the through-core vias. A mechanical handler frame may be used to clamp together the various layers including the core and the photo-patternable material. The photo-patternable material that remains after patterning is permanent, and prevents the mechanical handler frame from directly contacting the core. Thus the photo-patternable material provides mechanical support to the core and protects the core from the mechanical handler.
Abstract:
One or more high-inductance, high-quality factor (Q) three-dimensional inductors, for example, solenoid or toroid inductors with small form factors, are provided in an integrated circuit package, such as an integrated fanout package.
