Transmission pathways in substrates, and associated methods are shown. Example transmission pathways include a semiconductor substrate with a core, a dielectric layer fixed on the core, at least one first electrical transmission pathway extending through at least one of the dielectric layer and the core. The first pathway includes a magnetic material disposed within the at least the core of the at least one first electrical transmission pathway, at least one second electrical transmission pathway extending through the magnetic material, a nickel layer disposed on inner circumferential surface of the magnetic material at least within the second electrical transmission pathway, a copper layer disposed on at least the nickel layer within the second electrical transmission pathway. The dielectric spacer or the nickel layer separates the copper layer from the magnetic material. At least one third pathway extends through at least one of the dielectric layer and the core separate from the at least one electrical transmission pathway.

Magnetic inductor device and method

Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes directed to an interconnect joint that includes multiple core balls within a solder compound where the multiple core balls are substantially linearly aligned. The multiple core balls, which may include copper or be a polymer, couple with each other within the solder and form a substantially linear alignment during reflow. In embodiments, four or more core balls may be used to achieve a high aspect ratio interconnect joint with a tight pitch.
