Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology has the potential in incorporate multi-layer structures and embedded passive components with minimal steps. It is based on the ceramic thick film lamination technology, which is generally regarded as being robust and relatively inexpensive. Thus LTCC is promising technology to meet the demands for further miniaturized and higher frequency operated magnetic devices in rapidly progressing microelectronics system[1]. This paper describes an integrated LTCC inductor embedding NiZn ferrite material for low power electronics. In contrast with the earlier work[2], NiZn ferrite material was embedded in LTCC patterns so that we have fabricated a planar typed LTCC inductor with a 0.9mm thickness. And we have evaluated the inductor by using electromagnetic studio tool and measurement.
