Abstract: An inductor component comprising an element body; a helically wound coil disposed in the element body; and an external electrode disposed in the element body and electrically connected to the coil. The element body includes a plurality of insulating layers and a mark layer constituting a portion of an outer surface of the element body, and a K abundance ratio (atom %) in the mark layer is higher than a K abundance ratio (atom %) in the insulating layers.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coil component including an element assembly containing a filler and a resin material, a coil portion composed of a coil conductor embedded in the element assembly, and a pair of outer electrodes electrically coupled to the coil conductor. A relatively thin first conductor layer and a relatively thick second conductor layer are stacked in the coil conductor.

Abstract: A photosensitive glass paste contains a photosensitive organic component, and an inorganic component containing a glass powder and a ceramic filler. The glass powder contains a glass powder having a crystallization point. The difference between the crystallization point and the softening point of the glass powder having a crystallization point is from 85° C. to 180° C. The glass powder having a crystallization point is preferably a SiO2—B2O3—BaO—ZnO—Al2O3—MgO—La2O3 glass powder.

Abstract: A method for forming a thick film pattern forms a thick film pattern having a large thickness, a high hardness, and a high aspect ratio and exhibiting high dimension precision and high shape precision. In the method, a photosensitive paste including an inorganic powder, a photosensitive monomer, and a photopolymerization initiator and containing substantially no polymer is applied to a support so as to form a photosensitive paste film. The resulting photosensitive paste film is subjected to an exposure treatment and, thereafter, development is conducted so as to form a predetermined thick film pattern. Alternatively, a photolithography photosensitive paste including an inorganic powder, a photosensitive monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, and a polymer is used, wherein a ratio (weight ratio) of the photosensitive monomer to a total amount of the photosensitive monomer and the polymer is about 0.86 or more.

Abstract: A half-matching type transceiver circuit which only requires a reduced area for mounting. A coupling transformer has a primary winding with one end and the other end connected to balanced transmission lines, and a secondary winding with one end and the other end connected to output terminals of first and second tristate buffers, respectively. These tristate buffers are supplied at their respective input terminals with a high potential driving pulse signal corresponding to information data at shifted timings to generate a ternary transmission pulse signal on the balanced transmission lines.
