Abstract

An inductor includes a wire, and a magnetic layer covering the wire. The wire includes a conducting line and an insulating layer. The magnetic layer contains an anisotropic magnetic particle and a binder. In a peripheral region of the wire, the magnetic layer includes an orientated region. The peripheral region is, in a cross-sectional view, a region from an outer surface of the wire to an outward distance of 1.5 times an average of the longest length and the shortest length from the center of gravity of the wire to the outer surface of the wire. The upper surface of the inductor has a protruding portion caused by the wire.

Claims (14)

1. An inductor comprising:

a wire, and a magnetic layer covering the wire, wherein

the wire includes a conducting line, and an insulating layer covering the conducting line;

the magnetic layer contains an anisotropic magnetic particle, and a binder;

in a peripheral region of the wire, the magnetic layer includes an orientated region in which the anisotropic magnetic particle is orientated along a periphery of the wire;

the peripheral region is, in a cross-sectional view, a region from an outer surface of the wire to an outward distance of 1.5 times an average of a longest length and a shortest length from a center of gravity of the wire to the outer surface of the wire;

one surface in a thickness direction of the inductor has a protruding portion caused by the wire;

a plurality of wires are disposed spaced apart from each other in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction;

a vertical distance between an uppermost end of the protruding portion and a midpoint between the plurality of wires on one surface in the thickness direction of the inductor is 5 μm or more; and

the magnetic layer covers entire outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of wires.

2. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of wires are continuous through the magnetic layer.

3. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein

a shape in a cross-sectional view of the wire is circular.
