Abstract:
This invention relates to the fabrication of planar inductive components whereby the design in cross-section describes a conductor surrounded by magnetic material along the length of the conductor; an electrical insulator is placed between the conductor and the magnetic material. Cases also apply where more than one independent conductor is used. The planar form allows integration of inductive components with integrated circuits. These inductive components can be embedded in other materials. They can also be fabricated directly onto parts.
