Methods of manufacture of integrated circuit inductors having slotted magnetic material will be described. The methods may employ electro- or electroless plating techniques to form a layer or layers of magnetic material within the slotted magnetic material structure, and in particular those magnetic material layers adjacent to insulator layers.
摘要:
An inductor may be formed from a magnetic film on a package substrate. Conductors coupled either to a die or a voltage converter extend perpendicularly through the film to conductive plates, defining current paths through and across the film.
摘要:
An apparatus includes a magnetic core, a ground node, and one or more vias to provide a connection between the magnetic core and the ground potential. The magnetic core includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer. In addition, the apparatus may include a conductive pattern. The conductive pattern may be at a third layer between the first and second magnetic layers. The apparatus may be included in inductors, transformers, transmission lines, and other components using ferromagnetic cores or shields. Such components may be integrated on a chip or die.
摘要:
An embodiment is a magnetic via. More specifically, an embodiment is a magnetic via that increases the inductance of, for example, an integrated inductor or transformer while mitigating eddy currents therein that may limit the operation of the inductor or transformer at high frequency.
摘要:
An apparatus may include a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a conductive pattern. The conductive pattern is at a third layer between the first and second magnetic layers. Moreover, one or more magnetic vias connect the first and second magnetic layers. The magnetic layers and vias may operate as ferromagnetic cores or shields. Further they may be integrated on a chip (on-die magnetics). The apparatus may be included in inductors, transformers, transmission lines, and so forth.
摘要:
A dynamic random access memory includes a cell having a circuit between a floating-body transistor and a bit line. Activation of the circuit is controlled to provide isolation between the floating body and bit-line voltage both during write operations and during times when the cell is unselected. The added isolation improves performance, for example, by reducing the need for gate-to-body coupling and the magnitude of voltage swings between the bit lines.

A system and method for sampling a data stream generates a number of clock signals having equally spaced phases and then samples a data stream using the clock signals. The clock phases are preferably based on a predetermined fraction of a data rate frequency of the data stream, and sampling is performed based on predetermined combinations of the clock signals. While the system and method is suitable for sampling data transmitted for a wide variety of data rates, the system and method is especially well-suited to sampling at data transmitted at high rates, for example, equal to or greater than 20 Gb/s.
