Popis: Integration of magnetic passive components into package has been attracting more interests recently, but efficient package-compatible magnetic materials are needed. We have developed a package-compatible granular material, CoFeHfO, on a printed circuit board by reactive sputtering and investigated the substrate dependence of its soft magnetic property. Atomic force microscopy and grazing incidence x-ray-scattering-diffraction spectra show that a rough substrate surface degrades the magnetic property of CoFeHfO thin films with almost the same crystal microstructure. With surface planarization by chemical-mechanical polishing, soft magnetic material CoFeHfO can be realized on the package substrate. This material is promising for future applications in package.
