Abstract
An integrated device package includes a die and a package substrate. The package substrate includes at least one dielectric layer (e.g., core layer, prepeg layer), a magnetic core in the dielectric layer, a first plurality of interconnects configured to operate as a first protective ring, and a second plurality of interconnects configured to operate as a first inductor. The second plurality of interconnects is positioned in the package substrate to at least partially surround the magnetic core. At least one interconnect from the second plurality of interconnects is also part of the first plurality of interconnects. In some implementations, the first protective ring is a non-contiguous protective ring. In some implementations, the first inductor is a solenoid inductor. In some implementations, the magnetic core includes a carrier, a first magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer.
