Methods of manufacturing a magnetic device and tool for manufacturing the same

摘要

Methods of manufacturing a magnetic device and a manufacturing tool employing the methods. One of the methods includes the steps of: (1) providing a planar winding assembly and (2) employing an automated pick and placement tool adhesively to secure a first core-portion of a magnetic core to a second core-portion thereof proximate the planar winding assembly, the magnetic core adapted to impart a desired magnetic property to the planar winding assembly, the first and second core-portions being secured to said planar winding assembly without substantial compressive forces.
