Abstract: Disclosed herein is a planar magnetic element comprising a substrate, a first magnetic layer arranged over the substrate, a first insulation layer arranged over the first magnetic layer, a planer coil formed of a conductor, having a plurality of turns, arranged over the first insulation layer and having a gap aspect ratio of at least 1, the gap aspect ratio being the ratio of the thickness of the conductor to the gap between any adjacent two of the turns, a second insulation layer arranged over the planar coil, and a second magnetic layer arranged over the second insulation layer. When used as an inductor, the planar magnetic element has a great quality coefficient Q. When used as a transformer, it has a large gain and a high voltage ratio. Since the element is small and thin, it is suitable for use in an integrated circuit, and can greatly contribute to miniaturization of electronic devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic-field sensor using a magnetic substance. In the magnetic-field sensor, a transmission-line element constituted of a conductor layer, dielectric layer and a magnetic layer is inserted in a feedback circuit of a phase-shift type oscillation circuit using an open-loop operational amplifier as an amplifier. An output of the operational amplifier is fed back to an input thereof through the transmission-line element. Thus, a variation in oscillation frequency depending upon the intensity of an external magnetic field is detected as an output of the sensor.
