    Abstract: Technologies for low-leakage and low series resistance on-chip capacitors are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, each electrode of a capacitor is formed from two metal layers and vias between the metal layers. A high-k dielectric layer is between the metal layers. The electrodes are displaced relative to each other on the plane defined by the high-k dielectric layer. As a result, electric field lines of the capacitor are parallel to the high-k dielectric layer. The electrodes can be displaced from each other by more than the thickness of the high-k dielectric layer, reducing the leakage current through the high-k dielectric layer as compared to a capacitor with field lines perpendicular to the high-k dielectric layer. Such a capacitor may be used to provide power to circuits in a low-power state with little leakage current and/or may be used to absorb radiofrequency (RF) interference.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a magnetic sensing scheme for a voltage regulator circuit. The voltage regulator circuit may include a first inductor (also referred to as an output inductor) coupled between a drive circuit and an output node. The voltage regulator circuit may further include a second inductor (also referred to as a sense inductor) having a first terminal coupled to the first inductor at a tap point between terminals of the first inductor. The second inductor may provide a sense voltage at a second terminal of the second inductor. A control circuit may control a state of the voltage regulator circuit based on the sense voltage to provide a regulated output voltage at the output node. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
