Abstract:
1. A semiconductor structure comprising: a semiconductor body having a non-conductive top surface; a ferromagnetic core touching the non-conductive top surface and having a first main core segment, a second main core segment, a third main core segment, a first end core segment, and a second end core segment, the second main core segment lying between and spaced apart from the first and third main core segments, the first, second, and third main core segments each having a first end and a spaced-apart second end, the first end of the second main core segment lying closer to the first end of the first main core segment than the second end of the first main core segment, and closer to the first end of the third main core segment than the second end of the third main core segment, the first end core segment touching the first end of the first main core segment and the first end of the second main core segment, the second end core segment touching the second end of the second main core segment and the second end of the third main core segment; a conductive wire lying substantially in a single plane and having a first main wire segment that lies over a portion of the first main core segment, under a portion of the second main core segment, and over a portion of the third main core segment; and a non-conductive region that touches the non-conductive top surface, the ferromagnetic core, and the conductive wire, the non-conductive region surrounding and isolating the conductive wire from the ferromagnetic core.
