Laminated coil component
A laminated coil component includes an element assembly formed by laminating a plurality of insulation layers and a coil unit formed inside the element assembly by a plurality of coil conductors. The element assembly includes a coil unit arrangement layer which has the coil unit arranged therein, and at least a pair of shape retention layers which is provided to have the coil unit arrangement layer interposed therebetween to retain a shape of the coil unit arrangement layer. The shape retention layer is made from glass-ceramic containing SrO, and a softening point of the coil unit arrangement layer is lower than a softening point or a melting point of the shape retention layer.
1. A laminated coil component comprising:
an element assembly formed by laminating a plurality of insulation layers; and
a coil unit formed inside the element assembly by a plurality of coil conductors, wherein:
the element assembly includes (1) a coil unit arrangement layer which has the coil unit arranged therein and is made from glass ceramic and (2) a crystalline shape retention layer which is made from glass-ceramic;
the coil unit arrangement layer contains no SrO and has a softening point of below 1050° C.;
no conductor is arranged in the shape retention layer; and
when baked, the coil unit arrangement layer becomes amorphous but retains its shape because of the crystalline shape retention layer which is not softened during baking.
2. The laminated coil component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the shape retention layer contains 20 weight to 80 weight% of Al 2 O 3 .
3. The laminated coil component according to claim 1 , wherein the shape retention layer contains SrO or BaO.
4. The laminated coil component according to claim 1 ,
wherein a pair of the shape retention layers has the coil unit arrangement layer interposed therebetween.
5. A laminated coil component comprising:
an element assembly formed by laminating a plurality of insulation layers; and a coil unit formed inside the element assembly by a plurality of coil conductors,
wherein the element assembly includes an amorphous coil unit arrangement layer which has the coil unit arranged therein and is made from glass-ceramic;
a crystalline reinforcement layer which reinforces the coil unit arrangement layer and is made from glass-ceramic; and
a stress relaxation layer which is formed between the coil unit arrangement layer and the reinforcement layer and has a higher porosity than other portions.
6. The laminated coil component according to claim 5 ,
wherein porosity of the stress relaxation layer is 8 to 30%.
7. The laminated coil component according to claim 5 ,
wherein the coil unit arrangement layer contains 0.7 weight to 1.2 weight% of K2O.
8. The laminated coil component according to claim 5 ,
wherein a percentage of the K2O content of the reinforcement layer is less than a percentage of the K2O content of the coil unit arrangement layer.
