  • Method for realizing magnetic circuits in an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 5936298
    Abstract: Inductive structures make highly efficient use of the magnetic flux generd, and are consistent with integrated circuit manufacturing techniques. The structures include electrically conductive layers and interconnecting conductor filled vias to define a helical winding surrounding a closed magnetic core. The magnetic core may also be formed by semiconductor manufacturing techinuqes. A method of making the structures on a semiconductor substrate concurrently with the formation of the integrated circuit itself is also disclosed.
