Abstract

An inductor component comprising a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer containing a resin, a substrate of a sintered body having a first principal surface in close contact with the first magnetic layer and a second principal surface above which the second magnetic layer is disposed, and a spiral wiring disposed between the second magnetic layer and the substrate.

Claims (35)

a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer containing a resin;

a substrate of a sintered body having a first principal surface in close contact with the first magnetic layer and a second principal surface above which the second magnetic layer is disposed;

a spiral wiring disposed between the second magnetic layer and the substrate;

an insulating layer that directly contacts the sub state and separates the spiral winding from the substrate; and

a second insulating layer disposed on the insulating layer,

wherein

the spiral wiring includes a spiral-shaped first conductor layer and a second conductor layer disposed on the first conductor layer and shaped along the first conductor layer, and a width of a bottom of the first conductor layer is larger than a width of the second conductor layer,

a taper angle of a side surface of the first conductor layer is larger than a taper angle of a side surface of the second conductor layer, and

2. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a magnetic substance.

3. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer contain a metal magnetic powder contained in the resin, and wherein the substrate is a sintered body of ferrite.

4. The inductor component according to claim 3 , wherein the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer further contain a ferrite powder.

5. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein a sum of the thickness of the first magnetic layer and the thickness of the second magnetic layer is larger than the thickness of the substrate.

6. The inductor component according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness of the first magnetic layer and the thickness of the second magnetic layer are both larger than the thickness of the substrate.

7. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical resistivity of the first magnetic layer and the electrical resistivity of the second magnetic layer are higher than the electrical resistivity of the substrate.

8. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein a side surface connecting the first principal surface and the second principal surface of the substrate is at least partially covered with the first magnetic layer or the second magnetic layer.

9. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a crack portion.

10. The inductor component according to claim 1 , wherein

the insulating layer is disposed on the second principal surface of the substrate, wherein

the spiral wiring is formed on the insulating layer.
