To summarize this 3 part series, embedded magnetics are
essentially fabricated as you would a printed circuit boards
and exhibit reliability consistent with most PCBs. Devices
are fabricated in a batch process using automated manufacturing technology. The labor content is a small fraction
of what is used to fabricate wire-wound magnetics. The fact
that the windings are defined by photolithography provides
a high degree of consistency from device to device. This is
particularly useful for RF applications, where the high frequency performance can be modeled and optimized before
a design is committed to fabrication.

down can occur vertically through a surface defect to the underlying trace, rather than between adjacent traces that reside
under the insulating layer. To prevent this from happening, 2 or
more solder mask layers should be applied to cover any micro
defects in the first layer. An alternative is to use a dry film or
polyimide cover lay material, which are homogeneous and have
dielectric breakdown voltages of 3000kV/mil (117kV/mm). The
cover-lay provides higher breakdown voltages; however the
material and process cost is higher than applying solder mask.
The GbE media filters in figure one have a polyimide cover-lay
and exhibit breakdown voltages exceed 2.5 kVrms.
