    Abstract: An assembly includes a three-level voltage converter and a second voltage converter. The three-level voltage converter is electrically coupled to a battery to convert a battery supply voltage to an intermediate voltage. The second voltage converter is electrically coupled to the three-level voltage converter to convert the intermediate voltage to a processor-supply voltage to operate a processor. At least the second voltage converter and the processor are mounted on a processor-package substrate. The three-level voltage converter can be mounted on the processor-package substrate or on a circuit board on which the processor-package substrate is mounted.

    Abstract: Integrated multi-layer magnetic films for use in passive devices in microelectronic applications and methods of manufacture thereof. Soft ferromagnetic materials exhibiting high permeability and low coercivity are laminated together with insulating layers interposed. Electrical conductors coupled to interconnects are magnetically coupled to magnetic film layers to engender an inductor (self and mutual). Soft ferromagnetic materials are provided in an alternating array of parallel plate capacitors. Each alternating magnetic film is electrically coupled to either a primary or secondary electrical conductor interconnects and separated by an electrically insulating dielectric material. Alternatively, each alternating magnetic layer comprises an induced anisotropy material, which can also be combined with coiled conductor giving rise to a hybrid inductive/capacitive device. Also, soft ferromagnetic material are also selected and tuned to provide for FMR notch filtering.

    Abstract: An inductor is integrated into a multilevel wiring network of a semiconductor integrated circuit. The inductor includes a planar magnetic core and a conductive winding. The conductive winding turns around in generally spiral manner on the outside of the planar magnetic core. The conductive winding is piecewise constructed of wire segments and of VIAs. The wire segments pertain to at least two wiring planes and the VIAs are interconnecting the at least two wiring planes. Methods for such integration, and for fabricating laminated planar magnetic cores are also presented.
