Planar Power Inductor with Magnetic Film for Embedded LSI Package

A power inductor component is relatively very thick and large shape. Therefore, these components are not appropriate feature to be embedded into a LSI package and mounted nearby a LSI chip, it is challengeable to make the embedded application. However, LSI power delivery system is going for low voltage and large current, and losses between power supply and loads impacts on the power supply efficiency characteristic. In order to solve this problem, miniaturization for a power inductor is needed to realize the embedded applications. As one of approaches to realize the power delivery systems, the planar power inductor with Zn-Ferrite film has been studied for the next generations. A structure of planar power inductor was designed to be configured 2-turn inner copper spiral coil covered with top and bottom magnetic core. The Zn-Ferrite film used as a magnetic core has a high resonance frequency around 300MHz and high saturation magnetization of 0.6T or more, and this film can be formed in low temperature, whi...
