...The fabricated inductor uses LTCC ferrite tapes [ 8-12 ] serving as the core material, with the silver paste inductor winding embedded inside it. In addition, a metal shield using silver paste is integrated to shield the traces from the magnetic substrate, thereby reducing parasitic effects [13], [14]....
