Abstract
An inductor comprises a planar laminated magnetic core and a conductive winding. The core includes an alternating sequence of (a) a magnetic layer having a thickness of about 100 angstroms to about 10,000 angstroms and (b) a non-magnetic layer having a thickness of about 10 angstroms to about 2,000 angstroms. Magnetic flux passes through a first magnetic layer parallel to a first easy axis of magnetization of the first magnetic layer and the magnetic flux passes through a second magnetic layer, disposed adjacent to the first magnetic layer, parallel to a second easy axis of magnetization of the second magnetic layer. The magnetic flux path extends through the first and second magnetic layers parallel to the first and second easy axes of magnetization, respectively. At least one orthogonal magnetic layer can be disposed laterally from the core such that the magnetic flux path extends through the orthogonal magnetic layer(s).
