Abstract
Methods of coupling inductors in an IC device using interconnecting elements with solder caps and the resulting device are disclosed. Embodiments include forming a top inductor structure, in a top inductor area on a lower surface of a top substrate, the top inductor structure having first and second top terminals at its opposite ends; forming a bottom inductor structure, in a bottom inductor area on an upper surface of a bottom substrate, the bottom inductor structure having first and second bottom terminals at its opposite ends; forming top interconnecting elements on the lower surface of the top substrate around the top inductor area; forming bottom interconnecting elements on the upper surface of the bottom substrate around the bottom inductor area; forming solder bumps on lower and upper surfaces, respectively, of the top and bottom interconnecting elements; and connecting the top and bottom interconnecting elements to each other.
