Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a microelectronic device and methods of forming a microelectronic device. In an embodiment the microelectronic device includes a semiconductor die and an inductor that is electrically coupled to the semiconductor die. The inductor may include one or more conductive coils that extend away from a surface of the semiconductor die. In an embodiment each conductive coils may include a plurality of traces. For example, a first trace and a third trace may be formed over a first dielectric layer and a second trace may be formed over a second dielectric layer and over a core. A first via through the second dielectric layer may couple the first trace to the second trace, and a second via through the second dielectric layer may couple the second trace to the third trace.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a vinyl polymer, which comprises: mixing a first liquid and a second liquid to conduct an addition reaction, wherein the first liquid has been obtained by reacting a sulfonic acid group-containing compound selected from the group consisting of taurine, N-methyl taurine, and meta-aminobenzenesulfonic acid with an alkali metal hydroxide in methanol, the second liquid comprises a vinyl polymer having an intramolecular epoxy group in a ketone solvent, and the addition reaction incorporates a sulfonic acid alkali metal salt group onto a side chain of the vinyl polymer.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition useful for making homogeneously mineralized self assembled peptide-amphiphile nanofibers and nanofiber gels. The composition is generally a solution comprised of a positively or negatively charged peptide-amphiphile and a like signed ion from the mineral. Mixing this solution with a second solution containing a dissolved counter-ion of the mineral and/or a second oppositely charged peptide amphiphile, results in the rapid self assembly of the peptide-amphiphiles into a nanofiber gel and templated mineralization of the ions. Templated mineralization of the initially dissolved mineral cations and anions in the mixture occurs with preferential orientation of the mineral crystals along the fiber surfaces within the nanofiber gel. One advantage of the present invention is that it results in homogenous growth of the mineral throughout the nanofiber gel.

Abstract: A magnetic core is made of a composite magnetic material having a relative permeability of between 1 and 29 at a frequency range from 20 kHz to 2.5 MHz. The composite magnetic material consists of cobalt and nickel particles having an average diameter in the range of 1 to 100 micrometers, and a polymer base binding the particles to form a core.
