Abstract

Disclosed herein is a coil component that includes an insulating layer formed on a substrate, a coil conductor provided between the substrate and the insulting layer, a first electrode connected to one end of the coil conductor, a second electrode connected to the other end of the coil conductor, and a magnetic layer formed on the insulting layer so as to cover a side surface of each of the first and second electrodes without covering a top surface of each of the first and second electrodes.

Claims (13)

1. A coil component comprising:

a magnetic substrate made of magnetic ceramic material;

a thin-film coil layer containing a coil conductor formed on a principal surface of the magnetic substrate;

a plurality of bump electrodes formed on a principal surface of the thin-film coil layer; and

an insulating resin layer formed on the principal surface of the thin-film coil layer excluding formation positions of the bump electrodes, wherein

the magnetic substrate, the thin-film coil layer and the insulating resin layer form a layered product,

each of the bump electrodes has an exposure surface on a bottom surface and on two side surfaces of the layered product,

the thin-film coil layer contains a plurality of terminal electrodes of the coil conductor,

each of the terminal electrodes is connected to a corresponding one of the bump electrodes and has an exposure surface on at least one of the two side surfaces of the layered product,

each of the terminal electrodes has smaller in size than the corresponding one of the bump electrodes in planar view,

each of the terminal electrodes includes a first electrode portion connected to the coil conductor without being connected via the corresponding one of the bump electrodes and a second electrode portion connected to the coil conductor via the corresponding one of the bump electrodes,

the first electrode portion has the exposure surface on one of the two side surfaces, and

the second electrode portion has the exposure surface on the other of the two side surfaces.
