Method for manufacture of multi-layer-multi-turn high efficiency inductors

摘要

A multi-layer, multi-turn structure for an inductor having a plurality of conductor layers separated by layers of insulator is described. The inductor further comprises a connector electrically connected between the conductor layers. The structure of the inductor may comprise a cavity therewithin. The structure of the inductor constructed such that electrical resistance is reduced therewithin, thus increasing the efficiency of the inductor. The inductor is particularly useful at operating within the radio frequency range and greater.

1. A method of manufacturing an inductor structure, the method comprising the following steps:
providing a first conductor layer and a second conductor layer, the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer being electrically conductive; positioning an insulator layer between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer; and connecting the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer in an electrically parallel connection with at least two connectors, each connector having an electrical impedance; wherein, when an electrical current is propagated within at least the first conductor layer, a magnetic flux is generated within the inductor when a change occurs in at least one of a frequency, a magnitude, or a waveform shape of the propagated electrical current.
