Abstract

In order to implement very low profile magnetic components, high frequency thin-film inductors and transformers are developed by depositing thin film of copper upon ferrite substrates and use in micro-power level. The operating frequency for the fabricated thin-film samples can be as high as 1 MHz since loss due to skin effect is still small at this frequency. Circuit simulations are provided to determine the behaviour of thin-film inductor. Furthermore, the value of inductance and Q-factor can be evaluated by the equivalent circuit model of thin film inductor. Discrepancies between the calculated and measured values are investigated and explained. Performance on voltage step up/down for the thin-film transformer is explained against different winding layouts. Suggestions on different areas to improve the performance the thin-film samples are presented.
