If you read the IBM JoR&D article, they describe
how they fabricate
capacitors and inductors on SLT modules.
But did they ever leave the lab into large scale production? All of the
SLT boards I have seen have had delay lines as external parts. I doubt IBM
could get useful inductors in that tight space and still have room for
anything else useful. Maybe a few microHenrys could be smashed in with the
associated transistors and resistors, but that wouldn't do a whole bunch a
good.
