Abstract
Systems and methods for building passive and active electronics with diamond- like carbon (DLC) coatings are provided herein. DLC may be layered upon substrates to form various components of electronic devices. Passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors may be built using DLC as a dielectric or as an insulating layer. Active components such as diodes and transistors may be built with the DLC acting substantially like a semiconductor. The amount of sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon atoms may be varied to modify the properties of the DLC for various electronic components.
Claims20
A laminated magnetic core, comprising:
- a plurality of sheets of a magnetic material, each sheet of the plurality of sheets having a top surface,
- wherein each sheet of the plurality of sheets is stacked on top of another sheet to form a plurality of laminations;
- and
- a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on at least a portion of the top surface of each sheet of the plurality of sheets,
- wherein the DLC coating is configured to provide insulation to reduce eddy currents within the laminated magnetic core.
