Abstract
An integrated inductor using the low-temperature co-fired ceramics(LTCC) technology for low-power electronics was fabricated. In the inductor NiZn ferrite sheet$({\mu}_r=230)$, was embedded to increase inductance. The inductor has Ag spiral coil with 14 turns$(7turns{\times}2layers)$, a dimension of 0.6mm in width, 10um in thickness, and 0.15mm pitch. To evaluate the inductance, including the parasitic resistance, the fabricated inductor was calculated and measured. It was confirmed that calculated values were very close to the measured values. Finally as an application of the LTCC integrated inductor to low power electronic circuits, a LTCC boost DC/DC converter with 1W output power and up to 0.5MHz switching frequency using the inductor fabricated was developed.
