Integrated fan-out package with 3D magnetic core inductor

Abstract:

Among other things, a method of fabricating an integrated electronic device package is described. First trace portions of an electrically conductive trace are formed on an electrically insulating layer of a package structure, and vias of the conductive trace are formed in a sacrificial layer disposed on the electrically insulating layer. The sacrificial layer is removed, and a die is placed above the electrically insulating layer. Molding material is formed around exposed surfaces of the die and exposed surfaces of the vias, and a magnetic structure is formed within the layer of molding material. Second trace portions of the electrically conductive trace are formed above the molding material and the magnetic structure. The electrically conductive trace and the magnetic structure form an inductor. The electrically conductive trace may have a coil shape surrounding the magnetic structure. The die may be positioned between portions of the inductor.
