  • Publication number: 20240136118
    Abstract: An inductor component includes an element body and an inductor wiring. The element body has a planar first main surface. The inductor wiring extends inside the element body. The inductor wiring includes a plurality of wiring portions arrayed in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface. The element body includes a plurality of interlayer insulating layers filling spaces between the wiring portions that are adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface. The interlayer insulating layers each contain an insulating base material and a plurality of filler particles dispersed within the base material. In a first interlayer insulating layer, which is one of the plurality of interlayer insulating layers, the average particle size of the filler particles is less than or equal to the standard deviation of the thickness of the first interlayer insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20230050739
    Abstract: A cutting tool includes a substrate; and a coating film, wherein the coating film includes a multilayer structure layer having first unit layer(s) and second unit layer(s), the first unit layer(s) and the second unit layer(s) are alternately layered, under a condition X-ray diffraction intensities of different planes in the multilayer structure layer are respectively represented by I(200), I(111), and I(220), the following formula 0.6?I(200)/{I(200)+I(111)+I(220)}, the first unit layer(s) has a NaCl-like structure in which an interplanar spacing d1c in a c-axis direction is larger than an interplanar spacing d1a in an a-axis direction, the second unit layer(s) has a NaCl-like structure in which an interplanar spacing d2c in the c-axis direction is smaller than an interplanar spacing d2a in the a-axis direction, and the following formulas are satisfied as well 1?d1a/d2a?1.02, 1.01?d1c/d2c?1.05, and d1a/d2a<d1c/d2c.

  • Patent number: 9943911
    Abstract: A surface-coated boron nitride sintered body tool is provided, in which a cutting edge portion includes a compound sintered body and a coating layer. The compound sintered body includes cBN particles. The compound sintered body includes 45-80 vol % of cBN particles. A first particle size distribution curve of the cBN particles has one or more peaks in a range in which a particle size is 0.1-0.7 ?m. A second particle size distribution curve of the cBN particles has a first peak having a maximum peak height in a range in which the particle size is 2.0-7.0 ?m. An integral value ratio (Io/It×100) is 1-20, in the second particle size distribution curve, the integral value Io being in the range in which the particle size is 0.1-0.7 ?m, and the integral value It being in an entire range.
