Abstract
Possible configurations for microfabricated inductors are considered. Inductance can be set by adjusting permeability through control of anisotropy of a permalloy core, or via a patterned quasi-distributed gap. A design methodology based on a simple model is proposed. Analysis of secondary effects is also developed. A design example for a 5 MHz buck power converter application is presented. A power density of 12.8 W/cm2 is possible for an efficiency of 94%
