Claim:
1. A method for forming an on-chip magnetic structure, the method comprising: activating a magnetic seed layer with palladium to form a layer of palladium nanoparticles on a surface of the magnetic seed layer; and forming a magnetic alloy layer on the layer of palladium nanoparticles, the magnetic alloy layer comprising cobalt in a range from about 80 to about 90 at. % based on the total number of atoms of the magnetic alloy layer, tungsten in a range from about 4 to about 9 at.% based on the total number of atoms of the magnetic alloy layer, phosphorous in a range from about 7 to about 15 at.% based on the total number of atoms of the magnetic alloy layer, and palladium substantially dispersed throughout the magnetic alloy layer.
