Abstract

Faced with new requirements for isolated switching power supplies with high efficiency and power density, planar transformer technology has emerged as a serious alternative to wound components. The work presented in this paper addresses the issue of developing planar transformers in the context of low-power electronics, where volume and weight constraints are paramount. The flat shape of the coils and the interlacing of the windings do not allow for control of magneto-thermal phenomena. Although scientific literature offers numerous simulation tools to aid in the design of such transformers, it must be noted that they do not allow for a rigorous account of these phenomena. In this paper, methods and a geometric and electrical sizing tool in planar technology are used for the design of flyback direct current to direct current (DC/DC) converters. Methods for dimensioning and estimating temperature rise are presented and compared in order to develop calculation tools for design purposes. This study enabled us to observe the distribution of the magnetic field, the role of ferrite, the distribution of currents and voltages in the coils, and the distribution of temperature in our device. It should be noted that conductive and convective heat transfer processes were considered in steady state.

Abstract

This study focuses on developing miniaturized electromagnetic components for applications in integrated microsystems, magnetic sensors, contactless energy transfer, and compact power converters. In a context of miniaturization and the pursuit of greater energy efficiency, the planar micro-coil plays a key role due to its compact size, ease of integration, and compatibility with microfabrication technologies. The work presented explores the design, modeling, fabrication, and experimental characterization of a square planar micro-coil. Its electromagnetic properties, such as inductance, resistance, and quality factor, are highly dependent on factors like the coil’s geometry (turns, track width, spacing, conductor thickness), substrate characteristics, and the manufacturing process. The main goal is to propose an accurate experimental model linking geometric parameters to electrical performance. The approach combines analytical modeling, finite element modeling (FEM), and experimental measurements on microfabricated prototypes. The results show strong agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental data, validating the model’s relevance. Lastly, the study highlights the impact of skin effects, proximity effects, and ohmic losses on the coil’s performance, offering insights for optimizing its design for high-performance, compact electromagnetic devices.
