Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit (IC) comprising a first set of circuit layers 102a on a semiconductor substrate 101, magnetic layer portions forming a magnetic component on the first set of circuit layers, and a second set of circuit layers 102b on the first set of circuit layers and magnetic layer portions. The magnetic layer portions comprise a magnetic layer 203 coupled to the first set of circuit layers by an adhesion layer 204. The magnetic component comprises a stack of magnetic layer portions. Each of the magnetic layer portions has an edge sidewall perpendicular to a plane of the magnetic layer portion. The magnetic layer portions may form a magnetic component with a toroidal shape. The first set of circuit layers may form a set of lower windings for an inductor or transformer and the second set of circuit layers may form a set of upper windings for the inductor.
