On-package vertical inductors and transformers for compact 5g modules

Abstract

In an embodiment, an inductor comprises a first trace, where the first trace has a first end and a second end, and where the first trace extends along a first plane, and a first conductive path over the first end of the first trace, where the first conductive path extends along a second plane that is substantially orthogonal to the first plane. In an embodiment, the inductor further comprises a second conductive path over the second end of the first trace, where the second conductive path extends along a third plane that is substantially parallel to the second plane, and a second trace over the first conductive path, where the second trace extends along a fourth plane that substantially parallel to the first plane. In an embodiment, the inductor further comprises a third trace over the second conductive path, where the third trace extends along the fourth plane.
