Abstract: In a coil component (planar coil element), at least part of a third metal magnetic powder constituting a metal magnetic powder and having a minimum average grain diameter is uncoated, which suppresses a reduction in magnetic permeability. On the other hand, the remaining metal powders are coated with glass, which improves the insulating properties of a metal magnetic powder-containing resin and reduces core loss.

Abstract: In a planar coil element, since an overlapping portion of a fourth resin wall of a first conductor pattern protrudes from an end surface of a main body portion, restriction on a width of the overlapping portion is relaxed, and the wide overlapping portion is realized. Therefore, an improvement in a withstand voltage between the second external terminal electrode formed on the end surface and an outermost turn of the first conductor pattern is realized. Similarly, regarding the second conductor pattern, the improvement in the withstand voltage between the first external terminal electrode formed on the end surface and an outermost turn of the second conductor pattern is realized.

Abstract: In a planar coil element, a dead space in a non-overlapping region is reduced by designing a total width of a first resin wall and a first turn located in the non-overlapping region to be narrow, more specifically, by designing the total width to be narrower than a total width of a second turn outside the first turn and a second resin wall located inside the turn and also than a total width of a third turn on the outer side and a third resin wall located inside the turn. As a result, a volume of a magnetic element body in a magnetic core portion of a coil can be increased, and an, inductance value, which is a magnetic characteristic, can also be improved.

Abstract: In a multilayer coil component, even when both pairs of ends of a first coil part and a second coil part are located at the same positions when viewed from the laminated direction and have the same shapes, a connecting part is connected only to a second end of the first coil part on the upper side in the laminated direction, and is connected only to a first end of the second coil part on the lower side in the laminated direction. Thus, a coil wound around along the laminated direction is structured without misaligning the positions of respective connecting parts. Consequently, the entire shapes of the respective coil parts can be designed to be the exact same shape, which makes it possible to reduce the number of types of coil part, saving labor and time for preparing many types of conductor patterns like the conventional type.

Abstract: A coil component in which a change in thicknesses of the winding part is prevented is provided. According to the coil component, since each of a pair of neighboring resin walls and a seed part between the pair of resin walls are separated by a predetermined distance, a plating part grown on the seed part is easy to grow uniformly between the pair of neighboring resin walls. For this reason, the winding part whose surface is gentle and in which a change in thickness is prevented is obtained by plating growth.

Abstract: In a coil component 1 and a method for manufacturing the same, a winding part of a coil is grown by plating so as to extend between resin walls of a resin body provided before the coil is grown by plating. The resin wall is interposed between adjacent turns of the winding part of the coil during the plating growth, and therefore contact between adjacent turns of the winding part of the coil cannot occur.

Abstract: A method of A production method including interdiffusion of a Ni component in a magnetic layer and a Zn component in a nonmagnetic sheet to form an interdiffusion layer in a region of the nonmagnetic sheet inside a conductive pattern. This method allows the interdiffusion layer to be formed without need for complicated processing of the nonmagnetic sheet. Furthermore, there is no boundary region between the magnetic layer and the nonmagnetic sheet around it. The nonmagnetic layer is located between turns of a coiled conductor to suppress degradation of dc bias characteristics and a magnetic body penetrates in a region inside the coiled conductor to suppress reduction in inductance due to provision of the nonmagnetic layer between turns of the coiled conductor.

In this production method of the multilayer inductor, there occurs interdiffusion of a Ni component in a magnetic layer and a Zn component in a nonmagnetic sheet to form an interdiffusion layer in a region of the nonmagnetic sheet inside a conductive pattern. This method allows the interdiffusion layer to be formed without need for complicated processing of the nonmagnetic sheet. Furthermore, there is no boundary region between the magnetic layer and the nonmagnetic sheet around it, which suppresses occurrence of cracking.
