Coil electronic component and method of manufacturing the same
A coil electronic component includes a magnetic body that includes a substrate and a coil part. The coil part includes patterned insulating films disposed on a surface of the substrate and a plating layer formed between the patterned insulating films by plating and having a thickness greater than or equal to its width measured parallel to the surface of the substrate. The plating layer may be formed in a single plating operation, and may have a thickness of 200 μm or more.
