Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coil component that includes a first planar spiral conductor; a second planar spiral conductor laminated on the first planar spiral conductor and wound in an opposite direction to the first planar spiral conductor; a first external terminal electrically connected to an outer peripheral end of the first planar spiral conductor; a second external terminal electrically connected to an outer peripheral end of the second planar spiral conductor; and a third external terminal electrically connected in common to inner peripheral ends of the first and second planar spiral conductors.

Abstract: A brittle plate processing method includes having a first portion of a brittle plate supported flat on a flat part of a support member that supports a first surface of the brittle plate, pressing a cutter against a second surface of the brittle plate opposite to the first surface, and forming a scribe line in the second surface of the brittle plate by moving the cutter and the support member relative to each other. In pressing the cutter, the cutter is pressed to a predetermined position on a second portion of the brittle plate other than the first portion. When the cutter is pressed to the predetermined position on the second portion of the brittle plate, the shape of the brittle plate due to bending deformation is defined by a defining part of the support member.

Abstract: A method for processing a brittle plate includes a breaking step in which a pressing member for pressing a surface of the brittle plate and a support member for supporting a back face of the brittle plate are used to bend and deform the brittle plate and break the brittle plate along a score line formed on the surface of the brittle plate. The support member includes a flat portion that is arranged flat against one portion of the brittle plate to support the brittle plate, and a regulating portion that regulates a bending deformation shape of the brittle plate when the pressing member is pressed against a predetermined position of a remaining portion of the brittle plate. The breaking step includes breaking the brittle plate along the score line that is within the remaining portion of the brittle plate.
