Abstract
For an on-chip power-converter, a thin film reactor is fabricated on a silicon substrate and the optimum chip size is investigated to achieve a high efficiency when it is mounted in a buck converter. The optimum size for the efficiency of 85% is about 2.5 mm for a switching frequency of 1 MHz
