摘要： By employing High Density Interconnect (HDI) multi-chip modules (MCMs) having elements of a distributed power supply embedded in the MCM itself, the functions of an MCM and a power converter are combined. The embedded power supply elements include DC-DC or AC-DC converters to convert an input voltage and input current to a relatively lower output voltage and relatively higher output current, thereby decreasing the current requirements of external power supply lines connected to the multi-chip module. The current and voltage outputs may be connected to chip power inputs through relatively short, low-impedance power distribution conductors comprising copper strips direct bonded to a ceramic substrate; alternatively, or in combination with direct bonded copper conductors, the low-impedance power distribution conductors may be situated within an HDI overcoat structure. The power supply elements may be placed within cavities formed in the substrate, or on a thinner portion of the substrate. The power supply may also provide multiple output voltages.

摘要： A magnetic or electromagnetic circuit component includes an embedded magnetic material (e.g., ferromagnetic) in an HDI structure with alternating dielectric and metal or winding layers. In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic material is situated in a substrate well, or cavity, with or without an adhesive. Alternatively, the ferromagnetic material is co-fired with the ceramic substrate and then machined to achieve a required core shape. An electroplating process is employed to construct the metal layers, such process including differential plating for varying the thickness of metal layers and/or other portions of the circuit. Laser ablation or any other suitable technique is employed to make through-holes for insertion of the posts of a ferromagnetic core plate used to complete a magnetic circuit, if required. Advantageously, a magnetic or electromagnetic component may have a height of less than about 0.1 inch. Furthermore, such magnetic or electromagnetic circuit components allow for very low inductance interconnections between these components and other circuit elements. Moreover, in a power supply, for example, not only can the complete power supply be built using HDI technology, but power density is increased at relatively low cost and at a high level of reproducibility.
