Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes for embedding a magnetic core or a magnetic inductor in a substrate layer by applying a copper layer to a portion of the substrate layer, creating a structure in the substrate layer on top of at least part of the copper layer to identify a defined region within the substrate layer, and inserting a magnetic paste into the defined region where the copper layer identifies a side of the defined region and where the structure is to contain the magnetic paste within the defined region while the magnetic paste cures.
Claims20
A package comprising:
- a substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- and
- an inductor embedded within the substrate, wherein the inductor is disposed between a first substrate layer adjacent to the first side of the substrate and a second substrate layer adjacent to the second side of the substrate.
A method for embedding a magnetic inductor in a substrate layer, the method comprising:
- creating a structure within the substrate layer that identifies a defined region within the substrate layer;
- inserting a magnetic paste into the defined region;
- and
- wherein the structure is to contain the magnetic paste within the defined region while the magnetic paste cures.
A method for embedding a magnetic inductor in a substrate layer, the method comprising:
- applying a copper (Cu) layer to a portion of the substrate layer;
- creating a structure in the substrate layer on top of at least part of the Cu layer to identify a defined region within the substrate layer;
- inserting a magnetic paste into the defined region;
- wherein the Cu layer identifies a side of the defined region;
- and
- wherein the structure is to contain the magnetic paste within the defined region while the magnetic paste cures.
