Abstract
A method for making an embedded toroidal inductor () includes forming in a ceramic substrate () a first plurality of conductive vias () radially spaced a first distance from a central axis () so as to define an inner circumference. A second plurality of conductive vias () is formed radially spaced a second distance about the central axis so as to define an outer circumference. A first plurality of conductive traces () forming an electrical connection between substantially adjacent ones of the first and second plurality of conductive vias is formed on a first surface () of the ceramic substrate. Further, a second plurality of conductive traces () forming an electrical connection between circumferentially offset ones of the first and second plurality of conductive vias is formed on a second surface of the ceramic substrate opposed from the first surface to define a three dimensional toroidal coil.
