  • Patent number: 11869855
    Abstract: In examples, a method of manufacturing a transformer device comprises providing a first magnetic member and providing a laminate member containing primary and secondary transformer windings wound around an orifice extending through the laminate member. The method further comprises positioning a build up film abutting the laminate member. The method also comprises positioning at least a portion of a second magnetic member in the orifice. The method further comprises heat pressing at least one of the first and second magnetic members such that a distance between the first and second magnetic members decreases and such that the build-up film melts, thereby producing a transformer device.

  • Publication number: 20220244638
    Abstract: A permanent resist, such as TMMF, is used when patterning conductive material on a substrate, enabling lines that have a higher line-to-space ratio (L/S) or a higher aspect ratio (T/L) or both. Pattern density can thus be increased, allowing for improved performance (e.g., greater efficiency, in the case of transformer coil patterning) and greater heat dissipation. As examples, the permanent-resist-based patterning fabrication methods can be used to create transformer coils within an integrated circuit (IC) module, or a routable lead frame for one or more IC dies.
