Interlayer electrical connections connect the layers. Optionally, a DC-DC converter includes the modified planar LTCC high conductance inductor, embedding a large cross section conductor, supporting a stacked arrangement of heat spreader, capacitor and active device layers, the active devices layer including the switching transistors. The active devices layer may include semiconductor dies embedded in a substrate.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/00/328/079/0.pdf1173621729/602.1336/200336/55336/61336/141336/232361/270363/16H01F17/0033H01F41/043H01F38/42H01F2017/002H02M3/155Y10T29/49027932800
