1. A semiconductor power device comprising:
- a discrete inductor having contacts formed on a first surface of the discrete inductor;
at least one semiconductor component mounted on the first surface of the discrete inductor and coupled to the contacts, wherein the discrete inductor further comprises second contacts formed on a second surface opposite the first surface and routing connections connecting the contacts on the first surface to corresponding ones of the second contacts, wherein the routing connections are formed on a surface of the discrete inductor and wrap around a periphery of the discrete inductor, and the contacts, the second contacts, and the routing connections are formed as an electroplated layer on the discrete inductor; and
an encapsulant covering the at least one semiconductor component and the first surface contacts.

Abstract
A power device includes a discrete inductor having contacts formed on a first surface of the discrete inductor and at least one semiconductor component mounted on the first surface of the discrete inductor and coupled to the contacts. The discrete inductor further includes contacts formed on a second surface opposite the first surface and routing connections connecting the first surface contacts to corresponding second surface contacts. The semiconductor components may be flip chip mounted onto the discrete inductor contacts or wire bonded thereto.
