Abstract: A nanomagnetic inductor core that includes: a porous, electrically-insulating template having high-permeability material in the pores thereof to constitute elongated nanowires, and wherein the elongated nanowires are segmented along their axial direction; and a segment of dielectric material interposed between adjacent segments of the high-permeability material along the axial direction of the nanowire; wherein each segment of the high-permeability material has a length, in the axial direction of the nanowire, no greater than a size of a single magnetic domain, and wherein a maximal cross-sectional dimension of the nanowire is no greater than the size of the single magnetic domain. Inductors and LC interposers using such nanomagnetic inductor cores, as well as associated fabrication methods.

Abstract: A distributed LC filter structure is disclosed. The distributed LC filter structure provides simultaneously a distributed inductance and a distributed capacitance in the same structure. Accordingly, discrete passive elements are eliminated and high, homogenous integration is achieved. Interconnections between the distributed inductance and the distributed capacitance are tailored to leverage a parasitic inductance of the distributed capacitance to increase the overall inductance of the distributed LC filter structure. Similarly, the interconnections are tailored to leverage a parasitic capacitance resulting from the distributed inductance to add up with the distributed capacitance augmenting the overall capacitance of the structure.
