Patent ID: 7497005

Claim:
A method of fabricating an inductor having an inductance comprising: selecting a substrate; depositing a first layer of magnetic material on a surface of the substrate; depositing a first insulating layer on a surface of the first magnetic material layer; forming a single inductor pattern on a surface of the first insulating layer, the single inductor pattern formed substantially on a single plane, the single inductor pattern formed from gold; depositing a second insulating layer on a surface of the single inductor pattern, the second insulating layer encapsulating the single inductor pattern; and depositing a second magnetic material layer on a surface of the second insulating layer, the second magnetic material layer being deposited to a particular thickness to control the inductance, wherein the single inductive pattern is configured to inductively interact with at most the first layer of magnetic material and the second magnetic material layer to confine a magnetic field generated by the single inductor pattern.
