Abstract

See full text

A packaged integrated circuit includes an integrated circuit substrate and a cap bonded to a surface of the integrated circuit substrate. The cap has a recess therein that is at least partially lined with at least one segment of an inductor. This inductor may be electrically coupled to an electrical component within the integrated circuit substrate. In some embodiments, the inductor is patterned to extend along a sidewall and interior top surface of the recess, which extends opposite the integrated circuit substrate. The inductor may include a plurality of arcuate-shaped segments and may be patterned to be symmetric about a center-tapped portion thereof. The cap may also include a magnetic material therein that increases an effective inductance of the inductor relative to an otherwise equivalent cap and inductor combination that is devoid of the magnetic material.
