Patent number: 11804323Abstract: An electronic component includes a marker excellent in visibility and prevented from peeling off. That is, an electronic component is provided with an element body having a conductor inside; an insulating film and at least one marker disposed on a surface of the element body; and an external electrode disposed on the element body or the insulating film. The marker is exposed on a surface of the electronic component, and when the maximum height of the marker on the surface of the element body on which the marker is disposed is Mmax and the maximum height of the insulating film is Imax, Mmax and Imax satisfy the following expression: Mmax?Imax.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Minoru Gibu

Patent number: 11749447Abstract: An electronic component including an element body having a magnetic body; an internal electrode embedded in the element body and whose end portion is exposed from an end surface of the element body; and an external electrode on an outer surface of the element body. The external electrode has a bottom surface portion on a bottom surface of the element body, and an end surface portion extending to an end surface of the element body that intersects perpendicularly with the bottom surface. The end surface portion is connected to the internal electrode exposed from the end surface. The bottom surface portion includes a first bottom surface portion arranged on the element body side, and a second bottom surface portion arranged on an outer side of the first bottom surface portion. The first bottom surface portion is a resin electrode containing a resin and a conductive filler.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Minoru Gibu

Publication number: 20230230755Abstract: A coil component includes a magnetic body containing metal magnetic particles; a coil embedded in the magnetic body; and an outer electrode at at least the bottom surface (for example, a first main surface) of the magnetic body and electrically connected to the coil. The outer electrode (for example, a first outer electrode) includes, in order from the side of the magnetic body, an underlayer containing Ag, and a plating layer. At an interface between the magnetic body and the underlayer, an oxide film containing a metal element contained in metal magnetic particles is between the metal magnetic particles and the underlayer. In the inside of the magnetic body, an oxide film having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the oxide film between the metal magnetic particles and the underlayer is at surfaces of metal magnetic particles adjacent to the metal magnetic particles positioned at the interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka NOGUCHI, Minoru GIBU

Publication number: 20220415567Abstract: A highly reliable coil component having reduced electric resistance and improved bonding strength in a connection portion between a coil conductor and an external electrode. A coil component includes an element body including a coil conductor including a wound conductive wire coated with an insulating film, a magnetic portion containing metal magnetic particles and resin, and an external electrode on a surface of the element body and electrically connected to exposed surfaces, which are exposed on the surface of the element body, of extended portions of the coil conductor. The external electrode includes at least one or more layers. When an average crystal grain size of crystal grains constituting the coil conductor is defined as a and an average crystal grain size of crystal grains constituting a base electrode layer of the external electrode directly connected to the coil conductor is defined as b, a>b is satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicant: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichi ARAKI, Keiichi Ishida, Minoru Gibu
