INTEGRATION OF A COIL AND A DISCONTINUOUS MAGNETIC CORE

摘要

A particular device includes a coil and a discontinuous magnetic core. The discontinuous magnetic core includes a first elongated portion, a second elongated portion, and at least two curved portions, where the portions are coplanar and physically separated from each other. The discontinuous magnetic core is arranged to form a discontinuous loop. The discontinuous magnetic core is deposited as a first layer above a dielectric substrate. A first portion of the coil extends above a first surface of the magnetic core. A second portion of the coil extends below a second surface of the magnetic core. The second portion of the coil is electrically coupled to the first portion of the coil. The second surface of the magnetic core is opposite the first surface of the magnetic core.

1. A method comprising:
forming a first magnetic core deposited as a first discontinuous layer above a dielectric substrate, wherein the first magnetic core comprises:
a first elongated portion;a second elongated portion that is physically separated from the first elongated portion; andat least two curved portions that are physically separated from the first elongated portion and from the second elongated portion, wherein the at least two curved portions are substantially coplanar with the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion, and wherein the at least two curved portions, the first elongated portion, and the second elongated portion are arranged to form a discontinuous loop; and forming a first coil, wherein a first portion of the first coil extends above a first surface of the first magnetic core, wherein a second portion of the first coil extends below a second surface of the first magnetic core, wherein the second portion of the first coil is coupled to the first portion of the first coil, and wherein the second surface of the first magnetic core is opposite the first surface of the first magnetic core.
