TECHNOLOGIES FOR GLASS CORE INDUCTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943354 titled 'TECHNOLOGIES FOR GLASS CORE INDUCTOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for a glass core inductor embedded in a glass substrate, specifically in an integrated circuit component such as a fully-integrated voltage regulator (FIVR). The inductor design includes angled through-glass vias and traces on top of the glass substrate, resulting in a triangular or trapezoidal cross-section that allows for a relatively large inductance per unit area.
- Glass core inductor embedded in glass substrate
- Fully-integrated voltage regulator (FIVR) design

Unanswered Questions
How does the glass material impact the performance of the inductor compared to traditional materials?
Glass is known for its insulating properties, but further research may be needed to understand its impact on inductor efficiency and reliability in different operating conditions.
Are there any limitations or challenges in scaling up this technology for mass production?
While the design shows promise for compact inductors, scaling up production may present challenges in terms of cost-effectiveness and manufacturing consistency.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for a glass core inductor are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an integrated circuit component includes a glass substrate and a fully-integrated voltage regulator (FIVR). The FIVR includes a glass core inductor that is embedded in the glass substrate. Each inductor turn of the inductor includes two angled through-glass vias and a trace on top of the glass substrate connecting the angled through-glass vias, resulting in an inductor with a cross-section in the shape of a triangle or trapezoid. The inductor may have a relatively large inductance per unit area, requiring less space or allowing for a larger inductance.
