Abstract
A process for manufacturing inductors for use in integrated circuits includes embedding ferromagnetic material in a bulk silicon substrate, forming a plurality of vias in the bulk silicon substrate such that the vias bracket a volume of the bulk silicon substrate that includes the ferromagnetic material, slicing the bulk silicon substrate to form a silicon wafer, and configuring traces between top metal pads of the vias and between bottom metal pads of the vias to form a continuous path for current to flow circumferentially from a first end of the volume to a second end of the volume.
