Patent number: 8082655Abstract: A method includes forming a winding structure from a single sheet of electrically conductive material, where the winding structure includes a winding base and multiple winding extensions extending from the winding base as a continuous piece of the electrically conductive material. The multiple winding extensions include a base portion that extends from the winding base along a first face of a fully assembled magnetic core, a wrapping portion that extends from the base portion along a second face of the fully assembled magnetic core, and a connection portion that extends from the wrapping portion along a third face of the fully assembled magnetic core, the connection portion comprising an electrical connection surface. The base portion, the wrapping portion, and the connection portion of each winding extend from the winding base such that the integrated windin structure is shaped for placement over the full assembled magnetic core in a single motion.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2011Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chu T. Chung, Chien H. Lin, Randhir S. Malik, Robert Wei

Patent number: 8079134Abstract: A method is provided that utilizes silicon through via technology, to build a Toroid into the chip with the addition of a layer of magnetic material such as Nickel above and below the T-coil stacked multi-ring structure. This allows the connection between the inner via and an array of outer vias. This material is added on a BEOL metal layer or as an external coating on the finished silicon. Depending on the configuration and material used for the via, the inductance will increase approximately two orders of magnitude (e.g., by utilizing a nickel via core). Moreover, a ferrite material with proper thermal conduction properties is used in one embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2008Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Benson Maki, Gerald Keith Bartley, Philip Raymond Germann, Mark Owen Maxson, Darryl John Becker, Paul Eric Dahlen, John Edward Sheets, II

Patent number: 8072304Abstract: A noncontact power-transmission coil is provided. The noncontact power-transmission coil includes a planar coil and a magnetic layer. The planar coil is formed by winding a linear conductor in a spiral shape substantially in a single plane. The magnetic layer is formed by applying a liquid-form magnetic solution in which magnetic particles are mixed with a binder solvent, so as to cover one planar portion of the planar coil and a side-face portion of the planar coil.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2008Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignees: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Japan, Inc., Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Kato, Kuniharu Suzuki, Katsuya Suzuki, Manabu Yamazaki, Yoichiro Kondo, Kota Onishi, Kentaro Yoda, Mikimoto Jin, Takahiro Kamijo, Haruhiko Sogabe
