  • Patent number: 11688553
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multilayer coil includes preparing a first substrate by forming a first conductor pattern on a first insulating base material layer, preparing a second substrate by forming a second conductor pattern on a second insulating base material layer, and joining a surface of the first substrate on which the first conductor pattern is formed and a surface of the second substrate on which the second conductor pattern is formed together with only a joining layer made of a thermoplastic resin interposed therebetween. Amounts of deformation of the first and second insulating base material layers are less than that of the joining layer at a fusion temperature. The first and second conductor patterns are each a coil pattern having a coil axis that extends in a lamination direction in which the first substrate and the second substrate are laminated together.

The signal conductor extends in a signal transmission direction of the laminate and is disposed in an intermediate position in a laminating direction of the resin layers. The hollow portion is in the laminate and defined by an opening provided at a portion of the plurality of resin layers. The reinforcing conductor is in the laminate. The hollow portion is disposed at a position overlapping with the signal conductor, in a plan view of the laminate from a surface perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the laminating direction. The reinforcing conductor is disposed at a position different from the position of the hollow portion in a plan view.

  • Patent number: 11523521
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multilayer board includes forming conductor patterns on four or more insulating base material layers, forming a multilayer body by stacking the insulating base material layers in a state in which the conductor patterns face each other with prepreg layers therebetween, and heat-pressing the multilayer body. In a state before the step of heat-pressing, among the prepreg layers, a thickness of an outermost prepreg layer is larger than a thickness of a prepreg layer other than the outermost prepreg layer.
