Abstract:
One or more high-inductance, high-quality factor (Q) three-dimensional inductors, for example, solenoid or toroid inductors with small form factors, are provided in an integrated circuit package, such as an integrated fanout package.
Abstract:
Provided are space-efficient capacitors that have a higher quality factor than conventional designs and improve coupling of electrical energy from a through-glass via (TGV) to a dielectric. For example, provided is a TGV having a non-rectangular cross-section, where one end of the TGV is coupled to a first metal plate. A dielectric material is formed on the first metal plate. A second metal plate is formed on the dielectric material in a manner that overlaps at least a portion of the first metal plate to form at least one overlapped region of the dielectric material. At least a part of the perimeter of the overlapped region is non-planar. The overlapped region can be formed in a shape of a closed ring, in a plurality of portions of a ring shape, in substantially a quarter of a ring shape, and/or in substantially a half of a ring shape.

Abstract:
An integrated circuit device, such as a system-on-a-chip (SOC) device that includes an integrated or embedded voltage regulator, comprises an integrated capacitor and an integrated inductor having a magnetic core that can be fabricated in the same process as the capacitive structure of the integrated capacitor.
Abstract:
An inductor can include a first substrate, a magnetic piece, and a conductor. The first substrate can be formed within a second substrate. The magnetic piece can be connected to a first side of the first substrate. The conductor can be formed within the second substrate, on the second substrate, or both. The conductor can have an input and an output. The conductor can be configured to surround the first substrate without being in contact with the first substrate and without being in contact with the magnetic piece.
