Electronic component having printing and method of manufacturing the same
To provide an electronic component having printing, which can achieve both of a moisture resistance capability and visibility of printing, and a method of manufacturing the same. A method of manufacturing an electronic component having printing, including preparing an electronic component before being subjected to printing, which is provided with a magnetic element body made of an alloy magnetic material containing a transition metal on a surface thereof, and a glass layer that contains Bi with which the magnetic element body is at least partly coated and does not contain a transition metal, and irradiating the electronic component before being subjected to printing with laser light having a wavelength of 1064 nm so that the laser light is transmitted through the glass layer, so that a printing portion is formed at a partial glass portion in a vicinity of an interface between the magnetic element body and the glass layer.
1. A method of manufacturing an electronic component having printing, comprising:
preparing an electronic component having no printing, the electronic component including a magnetic element body and a glass layer, the magnetic element body being made of an alloy magnetic material containing a transition metal on a surface thereof, the glass layer containing Bi with which the magnetic element body is at least partly coated, and the glass layer containing no transition metal, and
irradiating the electronic component having no printing with laser light so that the laser light is transmitted through the glass layer, so that a printing portion is formed at a partial glass portion in a vicinity of an interface between the magnetic element body and the glass layer, and
wherein the printing portion contains transition metal and a compound containing Bi.
2. The method of manufacturing an electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the glass layer has a thickness of not less than 30 μm.
3. An electronic component having printing, comprising: a magnetic element body and a glass layer, the magnetic element body being made of an alloy magnetic material containing a transition metal on a surface thereof; the glass layer containing Bi with which the magnetic element body is at least partly coated, wherein the glass layer contains no transition metal in a non-printing portion, and printing made by laser light is present in a partial glass portion in a vicinity of an interface between a surface of the magnetic element body and the glass layer, and
wherein the printing contains transition metal and a compound containing Bi.
4. The electronic component according to claim 3 , wherein the transition metal is present in the partial glass portion in the vicinity of the interface between the surface of the magnetic element body and the glass layer.
5. The electronic component according to claim 3 , wherein in the partial glass portion in the vicinity of the interface between the surface of the magnetic element body and the glass layer, Bi is present in a content greater by not less than 10 wt % than in the non-printing portion of the glass layer.
6. The electronic component according to claim 3 , wherein the glass layer has a thickness of not less than 30 μm.
