Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...
