  • Patent number: 11508513
    Abstract: A coil-embedded ceramic substrate includes a plurality of ceramic layers including multi-turn coil patterns provided thereon. At least one ceramic layer of the plurality of ceramic layers includes thereon a multi-turn coil pattern and dummy patterns not electrically connected to the multi-turn coil pattern. The multi-turn coil pattern winds around and extends parallel or substantially parallel to sides of the ceramic layer. The dummy patterns are each parallel or substantially parallel to corresponding ones of the sides of the ceramic layer as an extension of portion of the coil pattern in an extending direction.

  • Patent number: 10743414
    Abstract: A resin multilayer substrate includes a first resin layer including a thermoplastic resin as a main material, a second resin layer including the thermoplastic resin as a main material and superposed on the first resin layer, a first interlayer-connection conductor passing through the first resin layer in a thickness direction, and a first conductor pattern at an area including a region in which the first interlayer-connection conductor is exposed at the surface of the first resin layer between the first resin layer and the second resin layer. The first conductor pattern includes a portion in or at which a portion of the first interlayer-connection conductor is disposed. The first conductor pattern includes a first portion covering the region exposed at the surface of the first resin layer; and a second portion disposed surrounding the first portion. The first portion and the second portion have different thicknesses from each other.

  • Patent number: 10575405
    Abstract: A module includes a wiring board, an insulating layer that is laminated on the bottom surface of the wiring board, a ring-shaped coil core that is embedded in the insulating layer, a coil electrode that is wound around the coil core, electronic components that are disposed in an inner region surrounded by the coil core in the insulating layer, and an electronic component that is mounted on or in the top surface of the wiring board. With this configuration, the areas of main surfaces of the wiring board and main surfaces of the insulating layer are not large, whereas if the electronic components were mounted on or in the top surface of the wiring board, the areas of the main surfaces of the wiring board and the main surfaces of the insulating layer would be large, and a reduction in the size of the module can be facilitated.

  • Patent number: 10257923
    Abstract: A resin substrate includes a first portion including a plurality of resin sheets provided at one end in a stacking direction and a second portion including a plurality of resin sheets provided at the other end in the stacking direction. The thickness of the plurality of resin sheets is the same or substantially the same as the thickness of the first portion and the second portion. The density of planar conductor patterns of the first portion with respect to the volume of the first portion is lower than the density of planar conductor patterns of the second portion with respect to the volume of the second portion. The average of the diameters of the first interlayer connection conductor provided in the first portion is greater than the average of the diameters of the second interlayer connection conductor provided in the second portion.

  • Patent number: 9974185
    Abstract: A component-embedded substrate includes a laminate and an electronic component. The electronic component is embedded in the laminate. The laminate includes a frame-shaped conductor pattern. When the laminate is viewed in a laminating direction, the frame-shaped conductor pattern is arranged so as to substantially surround the entire periphery of the electronic component. The frame-shaped conductor pattern includes a first individual conductor pattern and a second individual conductor pattern. The first individual conductor pattern and the second individual conductor pattern are separated from each other. The first individual conductor pattern is arranged close to a first external terminal electrode of the electronic component, and the second individual conductor pattern is arranged close to a second external terminal electrode of the electronic component.
