Abstract

The fabrication and integration of sub-millimeter magnetic materials into predefined circuits is ofmajor importance for portable magnetic devices for the telecommunications, automotive, biomedicaland space applications, but remains highly challenging. The present state-of the-art is not satisfactorygiven either the poor magnetic properties of the components (e.g. low magnetization of ferrites) ortheir societal drawbacks (e.g. rarity, toxicity, environmental costs or geopolitical dependence of therare-earth based magnets).There is therefore a need and an opportunity for a process to prepare magnets in the sub-millimeterrange for new developments in microelectronics, nanobiotechnology, energy conversion
