Abstract: To prevent interfacial peeling due to the stress of an insulating layer in a capacitor-inductor integrated electronic component having three or more conductor layers. An electronic component includes: a conductor layer M1 including a conductor pattern constituting an inductor; a conductor pattern overlapping a part of the conductor pattern through a dielectric film; an insulating layer covering the conductor layer M1 and conductor pattern; a conductor layer M2 provided on the insulating layer and including a conductor pattern constituting the inductor; and an insulating layer covering the conductor layer M2. The conductor layer M2 is formed to be branching from or independently of the conductor pattern and further includes a dummy pattern overlapping the conductor pattern. This prevents the stress of the insulating layer from being directly applied to the conductor pattern to thereby prevent peeling at the interface between the conductor layer M1 and the dielectric film.

A height of the electrode layer is equal to or higher than a height of the insulating member. This makes the outer peripheral portion of the thin film capacitor have a step-like shape.

A thin film capacitor includes: a metal foil having roughened upper and lower surfaces; a dielectric film covering the upper surface of the metal foil and having an opening through which the metal foil is partly exposed; a dielectric film covering the lower surface of the metal foil and made of a dielectric material having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the metal foil; a first electrode layer contacting the metal foil through the opening; and a second electrode layer contacting the first dielectric film without contacting the metal foil. The lower surface of the metal foil is thus covered with the dielectric film having a small thermal expansion coefficient, thereby making it possible to prevent the occurrence of warpage.

Abstract: A thin film capacitor includes: a metal foil having a roughened upper surface; a dielectric film covering the upper surface of the metal foil and having an opening through which the metal foil is partly exposed; a first electrode layer contacting the metal foil through the opening; a second electrode layer contacting the dielectric film without contacting the metal foil; and an insulating member separating the first and second electrode layers. The insulating member has a tapered shape in cross section. With the above configuration, both the first and second electrode layers can be disposed on the upper surface of the metal foil. In addition, since the insulating member has a tapered shape in cross section, adhesion performance of the insulating member can be enhanced, thus making it possible to prevent short-circuit between the first and second electrode layers.

With this configuration, both the first and second electrode layers can be disposed on the upper surface of the metal foil. In addition, the first electrode layer contacts not only the metal foil but also the dielectric film, making peeling of the first electrode layer less likely to occur.

With this configuration, both the first and second electrode layers can be disposed on the upper surface of the metal foil. In addition, since the metal foil is surface-roughened, a larger capacitance can be obtained.

Abstract: To provide a thin film capacitor having high adhesion with respect to a circuit substrate. A thin film capacitor includes: a metal foil having a roughened upper surface; a dielectric film covering the upper surface of the metal foil and having an opening through which the metal foil is partly exposed; a first electrode layer contacting the metal foil through the opening; and a second electrode layer contacting the dielectric film without contacting the metal foil. An angle ?a formed by the other main surface of the metal foil and a side surface thereof is more than 20° and less than 80°. The side surface is thus tapered at an angle of more than 20° and less than 80°, so that it is possible to suppress warpage and to enhance adhesion with respect to a multilayer substrate when the thin film capacitor is embedded in the multilayer substrate.

Abstract: To provide a thin film capacitor having high flexibility. A thin film capacitor includes: a metal foil having a roughened upper surface; a dielectric film covering the upper surface of the metal foil and having an opening through which the metal foil is partly exposed; a first electrode layer contacting the metal foil through the opening; and a second electrode layer contacting the dielectric film without contacting the metal foil. The particle diameter of crystal at a non-roughened center part of the metal foil is less than 15 ?m in the planar direction and less than 5 ?m in the thickness direction. This can not only enhance the flexibility of the metal foil to reduce a short-circuit failure in a state where the thin film capacitor is incorporated in a multilayer substrate but also enhance positional accuracy.
