Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure provide three-dimensional (3D) through-glass-via (TGV) inductors for use in electronic devices. In some embodiments, a first portion of a 3D TGV inductor may be formed in a first wafer and a second portion of a 3D TGV may be formed in a second wafer. The first portion and second portion may be bonded together in a bonded wafer device thereby forming a larger inductor occupying relatively little wafer space on the first and the second wafers.
