  • Microcomponents of the microinductor or microtransformer type and process for fabricating such microcomponents
    Patent number: 6429764
    Abstract: Apparatus and Method relating to a microcomponent such as an inductor in which copper segments are mounted in parallel channels of a non-conductive substrate so that the top surfaces of the segments are coplanar with the top surface of the substrate. A core material is placed over the top surface of the substrate and conductive arches are arranged to connect one end of each segment with the opposite end of an adjacent segment to form a coil that encircles the core.
