  • Patent number: 9978505
    Abstract: A printed circuit board with integrated coil includes: a plurality of layers; and coil patterns which are formed of a conductor and which are provided in at least one outer surface layer and another layer of the plurality of layers. A heat-dissipation pattern formed of a conductor is provided on at least the one outer surface layer so as to correspond to the coil pattern provided in the another layer. The coil pattern provided in the one outer surface layer and the heat-dissipation pattern provided in the one outer surface layer are separated from each other. A thermal inter-layer connector formed of a conductor is provided to connect the coil pattern provided in the another layer and the heat-dissipation pattern provided in the one outer surface layer which correspond to each other.

  • Patent number: 9480159
    Abstract: A coil-integrated printed circuit board includes: a first outer layer which includes a first outer thick electric conductor made of a thick metallic foil and a first outer thin electric conductor made of a thin metallic foil having a thickness smaller than that of the first outer thick electric conductor, and which is exposed to an outside; and a first inner layer which includes an inner thick electric conductor made of a thick metallic foil, and which is not exposed to the outside. Coil patterns are respectively formed by the first outer thick electric conductor and the inner thick electric conductor. A first electronic component is surface-mounted on the first outer thin electric conductor provided on the outer layer.
