Multi-die inductors with coupled through-substrate via cores
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising first and second dies is provided. The first die includes a first through-substrate via (TSV) extending at least substantially through the first die and a first substantially helical conductor disposed around the first TSV. The second die includes a second TSV coupled to the first TSV and a second substantially helical conductor disposed around the second TSV. The first substantially helical conductor is configured to induce a change in a magnetic field in the first and second TSVs in response to a first changing current in the first substantially helical conductor, and the second substantially helical conductor is configured to have a second changing current induced therein in response to the change in the magnetic field in the second TSV.
