Method for constructing a solenoid inductor

A method for constructing a solenoid inductor, comprising:

• positioning an inner winding substantially around a magnetic core;
• positioning an outer winding substantially around the inner winding;
• and
• using a layered process to perform said positioning the inner and outer windings;
• wherein said using the layered process comprises:
• processing a first conducting layer that is a bottom layer of the outer winding;
• processing a first dielectric layer above the first conducting layer;
• processing a second conducting layer above the first dielectric layer that is a bottom layer of the inner winding;
• processing a second dielectric layer above the second conducting layer;
• processing a magnetic core layer above the second dielectric layer;
• processing a third dielectric layer above the magnetic core layer;
• processing a third conducting layer above the third dielectric layer that is a top layer of the inner winding;
• processing a fourth dielectric layer above the third conducting layer;
• processing a fourth conducting layer above the fourth dielectric layer that is a top layer of the outer winding;
• and
• processing a fifth dielectric layer above the fourth conducting layer;
• wherein the inner and outer windings are electrically connected;
• and
• wherein the solenoid inductor is constructed as a component of an integrated circuit package with one or more active or passive devices.
