Abstract

Techniques for a coaxial inductor in a glass core are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, an inductor is positioned in a cavity of a glass core. The inductor includes a conductive via extending through the glass core surrounded by a magnetic material. A buffer layer is positioned between the edges of the cavity of the glass core and the inductor. The buffer can prevent or mitigate any stress caused by changes in temperature and different coefficients of thermal expansion of the glass core and the inductor. The inductor may form part of a fully integrated voltage regulator (FIVR), which provides a stable voltage source to a semiconductor die such as a processor.
