Detailed Description
The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clear and complete, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
In one aspect, the present application provides a transformer 110. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a perspective view of a transformer 110 according to an embodiment of the application, and fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the transformer 110 in fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the transformer 110 may generally include: the substrate 10, the magnetic core 16 embedded in the substrate 10, the plurality of conductive connection members 17, and two transmission line layers (divided into a first transmission line layer 20 and a second transmission line layer 30) provided on opposite sides of the substrate 10.
In one embodiment, the dielectric loss of the substrate 10 may be less than or equal to 0.02. Specifically, the material of the substrate 10 is a high-speed low-speed material, which is an organic resin. For example, the material of the substrate 10 may be a material of model TU863F, TU SLK of table gla technologies, inc, or may be a material of model M4, M6 of pine electronic materials, inc, or may be a MW1000 material of Nelco, or a material of EM285 of table photoelectron.
In another embodiment, the substrate may also be made of a resin material. Soaking the reinforcing material with resin adhesive, and oven drying, cutting, and laminating.
Referring to fig. 3, the substrate 10 may include a central portion 12 and a peripheral portion 14 disposed around the central portion 12. An annular receiving groove 18 is formed between the central portion 12 and the peripheral portion 14 of the base plate 10 for receiving the magnetic core 16 (shown in fig. 2).
In this embodiment, the central portion 12 and the peripheral portion 14 may be integrally formed, i.e., the substrate 10 is divided into the central portion 12 and the peripheral portion 14 by forming an annular receiving groove 18 at the center of the substrate 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the central portion 12 and the peripheral portion 14 may be in a split structure, for example, a circular receiving groove is formed at the center of the substrate 10, and then the central portion 12 is fixed in the circular receiving groove by, for example, bonding, so that the annular receiving groove 18 is formed between the central portion 12 and the peripheral portion 14, and the two end surfaces of the central portion 12 and the peripheral portion 14 are flush.
In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the annular receiving groove 18 is substantially the same as the cross-sectional shape of the magnetic core 16, so that the magnetic core 16 can be received in the annular receiving groove 18. The cross-sectional shape of the annular receiving groove 18 may be circular, square, elliptical, etc. Correspondingly, the shape of the magnetic core 16 may be circular, square, elliptical, etc.
With continued reference to fig. 1-3, a plurality of internal vias 13 are formed through the central portion 12 in the central portion 12. Wherein a plurality of inner via holes 13 are provided adjacent to the outer side wall of the center portion 12 and are arranged along the circumferential direction of the center portion 12. Correspondingly, a plurality of external via holes 15 penetrating the peripheral portion 14 are formed on the peripheral portion 14, and the plurality of external via holes 15 are disposed adjacent to the inner sidewall of the peripheral portion 14, that is: the inner via hole 13 is provided around the top inner peripheral wall of the magnetic core 16 at the top surface of the central portion 12, and the outer via hole 15 is provided around the top outer peripheral wall of the magnetic core 16 at the top surface of the peripheral portion 14.
Further, a plurality of conductive members 17 may be disposed in the inner and outer via holes 13 and 15, and the conductive members 17 electrically connect the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 located at both sides of the substrate 10.
In one embodiment, the conductive member 17 may be a metal pillar, and the diameter of the metal pillar corresponding to each inner via 13 or each outer via 15 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the inner via 13 or the outer via 15. The material of the metal column includes, but is not limited to, copper, aluminum, iron, nickel, gold, silver, platinum group, chromium, magnesium, tungsten, molybdenum, lead, tin, indium, zinc, or alloys thereof, and the like.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 2, metal layers may be formed on the inner walls of the inner via hole 13 and the outer via hole 15 by electroplating, coating, etc., so as to electrically connect the transmission line layers 20, 30 located on opposite sides of the substrate 10. The material of the metal layer is the same as that of the metal post in the previous embodiment, and will not be described here again.
Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the plurality of internal vias 13 includes a first internal via 132 and a second internal via 134, and the number of the first internal vias 132 is equal to the number of the second internal vias 134. The plurality of external vias 15 includes a first external via 152 and a second external via 154.
Wherein, the first annular track 1323a formed by the central lines of all the first inner vias 132 on the same plane coincides with the center of the second annular track 1325a formed by the central lines of all the second inner vias 134, and the first annular track 1323a and the second annular track 1325a do not intersect. The first annular track 1323a and the second annular track 1325a may be circular tracks, elliptical tracks, rectangular tracks, or the like, which are not limited herein.
When the magnetic core 16 is in a circular shape, the first inner via hole 132 and the second inner via hole 134 are circularly distributed. That is, the center lines of all the first inner via holes 132 form a first circular trace, and the center lines of all the second inner via holes 134 form a second circular trace. The circle center of the first circular track is coincident with the circle center of the second circular track. Furthermore, the radius of the second circular track is larger than the radius of the first circular track. That is, the distance between each second inner via 134 and the outer sidewall of the central portion 12 is smaller than the distance between each first inner via 132 and the outer sidewall of the central portion 12.
As further shown in fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the center of each second inner via 134 may be equal to the distance between the centers of two adjacent first inner vias 132, that is, the center of each second inner via 134 is located on the center vertical line of the center line of two adjacent first inner vias 132.
In the above embodiment, the inner via holes 13 on the central portion 12 have two sets (the first inner via hole 132 and the second inner via hole 134), and the tracks formed by the central lines of the two sets of inner via holes 13 do not intersect. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be at least three sets of internal vias 13 on the central portion 12, such as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, there may be three sets of internal vias 13 on the central portion 12.
Referring specifically to fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the first internal via 132 may include a first sub-internal via 1322 and a second sub-internal via 1324. Wherein the sum of the number of the first sub-internal vias 1322 and the number of the second sub-internal vias 1324 is equal to the number of the second internal vias 134.
Wherein, the center lines of all the first sub-inner vias 1322 form a first annular track 1323b, the center lines of all the second sub-inner vias 1324 form a second annular track 1325b, and the center lines of all the second inner vias 134 form a third annular track 1342. The first annular trace 1323b, the second annular trace 1325b and the third annular trace 1342 are coincident centrally and do not intersect. The first circular track 1323b, the second circular track 1325b, and the third circular track 1342 may be circular tracks, elliptical tracks, rectangular tracks, or the like, which are not limited herein.
When the magnetic core 16 is in a circular shape, the central lines of all the first sub-internal through holes 1322 form a first circular track, the central lines of all the second sub-internal through holes 1324 form a second circular track, and the central lines of all the second internal through holes 134 form a third circular track. The centers of the first circular track, the second circular track and the third circular track are coincident, the radius of the first circular track is smaller than that of the second circular track, and the radius of the second circular track is smaller than that of the third circular track. That is, the second circular track is located between the first circular track and the third circular track.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 6, all of the first sub-internal vias 1322 are uniformly distributed in the central portion 12. The center of each second sub-internal via 1324 is equidistant from the centers of two adjacent first sub-internal vias 1322, and the center of each second internal via 134 is equidistant from the centers of two adjacent second sub-internal vias 1324. That is, the center of each second sub-internal via 1324 is located on the center line of the two first sub-internal vias 1322 adjacent thereto, and the center of each second internal via 134 is located on the center line of the two second sub-internal vias 1324 adjacent thereto.
In the above embodiment, the first sub-internal via 1322 and the second sub-internal via 1324 adopt the above arrangement manner, so that not only the internal vias 13 on the central portion 12 are uniformly distributed, but also more internal vias 13 can be opened on the central portion 12, thereby increasing the number of input lines 222 and coupling lines 224 on the transformer 110 and improving the coupling performance of the transformer 110.
Of course, the inner via hole 13 may be opened in the center portion 12 by reducing the diameter of the inner via hole 13. However, if the aperture of the inner via hole 13 is too small, the processing accuracy is excessively high, thereby increasing the production and processing costs. If the aperture of the inner via hole 13 is too large, the number of inner via holes 13 on the central part 12 is made smaller, resulting in a decrease in the number of input lines 222 and coupling lines 224, thereby affecting the coupling performance of the transformer 110. Thus, in the present embodiment, the aperture size of the inner via hole 13 is about 1.5 to 3.1mm (millimeters).
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 6, the outer via holes 15 are distributed on the side of the peripheral portion 14 near the magnetic core 16, and the plurality of outer via holes 15 are uniformly distributed.
Specifically, the outer via holes 15 are uniformly distributed on the side close to the magnetic core 16, and the smaller the distance from the magnetic core 16, the better. It should be noted that the distance between the outer via hole 15 and the magnetic core 16 should also meet the processing requirements for avoiding interference between the side wall of the outer via hole 15 and the inner wall of the outer peripheral portion 14 when it is set, and it is necessary to satisfy the electrical breakdown resistance.
In this embodiment, the toroidal core 16 may be formed by stacking a plurality of toroidal sheets in sequence, may be formed by winding a narrow length of metal material, or may be formed by sintering a plurality of metal mixtures. The toroidal core 16 may be formed in a variety of ways, and is not limited by the present application, as the materials may be chosen flexibly.
The core 16 may be an iron core or may be composed of various magnetic metal oxides such as manganese-zinc ferrite, nickel-zinc ferrite, and the like. Among them, the Mn-Zn ferrite has high magnetic permeability, high magnetic flux density and low loss, and the Ni-Zn ferrite has very high impedance and low magnetic permeability. The magnetic core 16 in this embodiment is made of manganese-zinc ferrite and is sintered at high temperature.
With continued reference to fig. 1-3, the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 may be made of a metallic material. Among them, the metal materials used to form the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 include, but are not limited to, copper, aluminum, iron, nickel, gold, silver, platinum group, chromium, magnesium, tungsten, molybdenum, lead, tin, indium, zinc, or any alloy thereof, and the like.
In this embodiment, the metal materials of the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 and the materials of the conductive members 17 in the inner via hole 13 and the outer via hole 15 may be the same. Taking copper as an example, the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 may be formed on both sides of the substrate 10 by using the substrate 10 as a cathode and placing the substrate 10 in a salt solution containing copper ions for electroplating, and the conductive member 17 may be formed on the inner wall of each inner via hole 13 and each outer via hole 15 at the same time.
In another embodiment, the materials of the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 and the materials of the conductive members 17 in the inner via hole 13 and the outer via hole 15 may also be different materials.
In the present embodiment, the thickness of the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 is 17 to 102 μm (micrometers). In one embodiment, to increase the coupling degree of the transformer 110 so that a greater number of the conductive patterns 22 are disposed on the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30, the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 may have a thickness of 17 to 34 μm. In other embodiments, the thickness of the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 may be 40-100 μm in order to improve the overcurrent capability of the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30. Alternatively, the thickness of the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 is 65-80 μm, because when the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 are etched to form the conductive patterns 22, if the thickness is too large (i.e., greater than 80 μm), and the space between two adjacent conductive patterns 22 on the same transmission line layer is small, the etching may be not clean, and the adjacent conductive patterns 22 are connected to each other, resulting in a short circuit; if the thickness is too small (i.e., less than 40 μm), the current carrying capacity of the wiring pattern 22 may be reduced.
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 each include a plurality of conductor patterns 22 thereon; each of the conductive patterns 22 is bridged between a corresponding one of the inner via holes 13 and an outer via hole 15, and has one end connected to the conductive member 17 in the inner via hole 13 and the other end connected to the conductive member 17 in the outer via hole 15. Accordingly, the conductive member 17 in the inner via hole 13 and the conductive member 17 in the outer via hole 15 are sequentially connected to the conductive line patterns 22 on the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30, thereby forming a coil loop capable of transmitting current around the magnetic core 16.
In an embodiment, the conductive member 17 may be a metal pillar, and the conductive member 17 may be soldered to the conductive patterns 22 on the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30.
In another embodiment, the conductive member 17 may be a metal layer formed on the inner walls of the inner and outer via holes 13 and 15 by plating, coating, or the like, which is electrically connected to the conductive line patterns 22 respectively located at the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30.
In still another embodiment, the conductive member 17 may be integrally formed with the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 by electroplating, and then a plurality of conductive line patterns 22 are formed on the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 such that the conductive line patterns 22 and the conductive member 17 are integrally formed.
In the present embodiment, the plurality of conductive line patterns 22 may be formed by etching the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30. For example, the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 may be exposed and developed to obtain protective films on the surfaces of the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30, respectively. The protective film outside the position where the wiring pattern 22 is provided is then removed. Thereafter, the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 are brought into contact with the etching liquid, so that the etching liquid dissolves the metal layer in the contact position not covered with the protective film. After the etching is completed, the substrate 10 is cleaned, the etching solution on the surface thereof is removed, and then the protective film is removed, thereby obtaining a plurality of conductive patterns 22 on the first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the plurality of conductive patterns 22 on the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 can be divided into an input line 222 and a coupling line 224. That is, both the input line 222 and the coupled line 224 are provided on the same transmission line layer. Wherein, each conductive wire pattern 22 bridging between a corresponding one of the first inner via holes 132 and the first outer via hole 152 is set as an input line 222, and two ends of each input line 222 are respectively electrically connected with the conductive member 17 in the first inner via hole 132 and the conductive member 17 in the first outer via hole 152; each of the conductive patterns 22 bridging between the corresponding one of the second inner via holes 134 and the second outer via hole 154 is provided as a coupled line 224, and both ends of each of the coupled lines 224 are electrically connected with the conductive member 17 in the second inner via hole 134 and the conductive member 17 in the second outer via hole 154, respectively.
In the above embodiment, the input line 222 is the conductive pattern 22 bridging between one first inner via 132 and one first outer via 152, and the coupling line 224 is the conductive pattern 22 bridging between one second inner via 134 and one second outer via 154. Of course, in other embodiments, the coupling line 224 may be a conductive line pattern 22 bridging between a first inner via 132 and a first outer via 152, and the input line 222 may be a conductive line pattern 22 bridging between a second inner via 134 and a second outer via 154.
In one embodiment, the number of input lines 222 may be equal to the number of coupled lines 224, and the number of turns of the input lines 222 and the coupled lines 224 in the transformer 110 is the same, i.e. the turn ratio of the input lines 222 to the coupled lines 224 is 1:1. In another embodiment, the number of input lines 222 may be different from the number of coupled lines 224. For example, in another embodiment, the number of input lines 222 may be half the number of coupled lines 224, i.e., the turn ratio of input lines 222 to coupled lines 224 is 1:2. In yet another embodiment, the number of input lines 222 may also be twice the number of coupled lines 224, i.e. the turn ratio of input lines 222 to coupled lines 224 is 2:1. Accordingly, the turn ratio of the input line 222 and the coupled line 224 may be selected according to actual needs, which is not particularly limited by the present application.
With further reference to fig. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment, a first circular shape 1326 is disposed between the first circular track 1323a and the second circular track 1325a, and the first circular shape 1326 coincides with the center of the first circular track 1323 a. That is, the radius of the first circular 1326 is greater than or equal to the radius of the first circular trajectory 1323a and less than or equal to the radius of the second circular trajectory 1325 a. The arc length of each conductor pattern 22 on the first circle 1326 is equal in length, i.e., the line width of each conductor pattern 22 on the same circle is the same in the region between the first circular trace 1323a and the second circular trace 1325a of each conductor pattern 22. In this embodiment, any circle between the first circular locus 1323a and the second circular locus 1325a and circularly coinciding with the first circular locus 1323a may be used as the first circle 1326. This embodiment is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the widths of at least part of the conductor patterns 22 on the same transmission line layer, for example, the first transmission line layer 20 or the second transmission line layer 30, gradually increase along the routing direction of the corresponding conductor patterns 22. Since the plurality of conductor patterns 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the annular accommodating groove 18, the radius of a circle coinciding with the center of the annular accommodating groove 18 increases continuously in the wiring direction of the corresponding conductor pattern 22. At the same time, the widths of at least some of the conductor patterns 22 gradually increase in the routing direction along the corresponding conductor pattern 22, so that the spacing between at least some of the adjacent conductor patterns 22 can be kept uniform in the projection area of the annular accommodating groove 18.
Wherein, the distance between adjacent conductor patterns 22 refers to the distance between the outline edges of the adjacent conductor patterns 22 close to each other.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, two sets of line patterns M, N are formed on the same transmission line layer, for example, the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 of the first transmission line layer 20 or the second transmission line layer 30, respectively. Two sets of line patterns M, N on each transmission line layer are disposed adjacent to each other and are arranged around the circumference of the core 16.
In addition, the two sets of line patterns M, N on the first transmission line layer 20 and the two sets of line patterns M ', N' on the second transmission line layer 30 are mirror symmetrical. For example, when all the wire patterns 22 on the first transmission line layer 20 are wound around the magnetic core 16 in the counterclockwise direction (see fig. 4), all the wire patterns 22 on the second transmission line layer 30 are wound around the magnetic core 16 in the clockwise direction (see fig. 5). In other embodiments, when all of the conductor patterns 22 on the first transmission line layer 20 are wound around the magnetic core 16 in a clockwise direction, all of the conductor patterns 22 on the second transmission line layer 30 are wound around the magnetic core 16 in a counterclockwise direction.
As further shown in fig. 4 and 5, in each set of line patterns M, N, the pitch of any two adjacent conductor patterns 22 (for example, may be adjacent input line 222 and coupling line 224, adjacent two coupling lines 224, or adjacent two input lines 222) within the projection area of the annular accommodating groove 18 is kept uniform along the routing direction of any one of the conductor patterns 22. For example, in fig. 4, the pitches between two adjacent input lines 222 and coupling lines 224 in the projection area of the annular accommodating groove 18 are d1 and d2 along the routing direction of any corresponding conductive pattern 22, respectively, and the pitches are kept uniform, that is, d1=d2. In the present embodiment, the pitch of the two adjacent conductor patterns 22 in the projection area of the annular accommodation groove 18 may be 50 to 150 μm.
It will be appreciated that the smaller the spacing between two adjacent conductor patterns 22 in the projection area of the annular receiving groove 18, the higher the degree of coupling between the input line 222 and the coupling line 224. Therefore, when the conductor patterns 22 on the transmission line layers 20, 30 are provided, the pitch between adjacent conductor patterns 22 on the same layer should be made as small as possible. In one embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent conductive patterns 22 in the projection area of the annular accommodating groove 18 is the minimum distance between the two adjacent conductive patterns 22, so as to improve the coupling property. The minimum distance is a safe distance between two adjacent conductor patterns 22, thereby ensuring that no high voltage breakdown occurs between the adjacent conductor patterns 22, and thus the service life of the transformer 110 can be prolonged.
In this embodiment, an insulating material may be disposed between two adjacent conductive patterns 22. The insulating material may be PI (i.e., polyimide), an organic thin film, ink, or the like. In order to improve the withstand voltage between the adjacent two wiring patterns 22, polyimide having a high insulation coefficient may be used.
Wherein the safe distance of adjacent conductor patterns 22 is related to the nature of the insulating material. Therefore, when the conductive patterns 22 are disposed, the distance between the adjacent conductive patterns 22 should be flexibly controlled to be greater than the safe distance according to the characteristics of the selected insulating material, so as to avoid the occurrence of high voltage breakdown, which may cause damage to the transformer 110.
In this embodiment, since the line patterns M, N on the first transmission line layer 20 and the line patterns M ', N' on the second transmission line layer 30 are disposed around the magnetic core 16, the widths of the line patterns 22 gradually increase in the routing direction of the line patterns 22, so that the spacing between two adjacent line patterns 22 is kept consistent in the projection area of the annular accommodating groove 18, the line patterns 22 on the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 can be more tightly arranged, so that the line patterns M, N, M 'or N' formed by the line patterns 22 are distributed as much as possible in the overlapping area with the magnetic core 16, thereby reducing leakage inductance and improving the coupling performance of the transformer 110.
In one embodiment, referring further to fig. 4-5 and 7-8, on the same transmission line layer (e.g., on the first transmission line layer 20 or the second transmission line layer 30), each at least one input line 222 forms an input line group, and each at least one coupling line 224 forms a coupling line group; the input line groups and the coupled line groups are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4 and 5, each input line group includes only one input line 222, and each coupled line group includes only one coupled line 224, and a plurality of input line groups and a plurality of coupled line groups are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16. I.e. the conductor patterns 22 on the same transmission line layer (on the first transmission line layer 20 or the second transmission line layer 30) are arranged in order of the input line 222, the coupling line 224, the input line 222 and the coupling line 224.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 7 and 8, each input line group may include two input lines 222, and each coupled line group may include two coupled lines 224, and a plurality of input line groups and a plurality of coupled line groups are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16. I.e. the conductor patterns 22 on the same signal transmission line layer are arranged in sequence of the input line 222, the coupled line 224 and the coupled line 224.
In an embodiment, each input line group may further include at least three input lines 222 disposed in succession, and each coupled line group may further include at least three coupled lines 224 disposed in succession, the plurality of input line groups and the plurality of coupled line groups being alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16.
In an embodiment, when the number of input lines 222 is the same as the number of coupled lines 224, the number of conductor patterns 22 in the input line group may be the same as the number of conductor patterns 22 in the coupled line group. For example, when each of the input line group and the coupling line group includes three conductor patterns 22, the conductor patterns 22 on the same signal transmission line layer are sequentially arranged in the order of the input line 222, the coupling line 224, and the coupling line 224, the coupling line 224.
In another embodiment, when the number of input lines 222 is different from the number of coupled lines 224, the number of conductor patterns 22 in the input line group may be different from the number of conductor patterns 22 in the coupled line group. For example, when the number of the input lines 222 is half the number of the coupling lines 224, the number of the conductor patterns 22 in each input line group may be half the number of the conductor patterns 22 in the coupling line group. Assuming that only one conductor pattern 22 is included in each input line group and two conductor patterns 22 are included in each coupled line group, the conductor patterns 22 on the same signal transmission line layer are sequentially arranged in the order of the input line 222, the coupled line 224, and the coupled line 224.
In this embodiment, since the plurality of input line groups and the plurality of coupled line groups on the same transmission line layer are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16, the distance between the input line 222 and the coupled line 224 can be reduced, thereby improving the coupling performance of the transformer 110.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 2, a connection layer 40 may be disposed between the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 and the substrate 10, respectively, for fixing the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30. The first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 and the corresponding connection layer 40 respectively form a transmission unit 50. That is, the first transmission line layer 20 and the connection layer 40 disposed between the first transmission line layer 20 and the substrate 10 may form a transmission unit 50; the second transmission line layer 30 may also constitute one transmission unit 50, as with the connection layer 40 provided between the first transmission line layer 30 and the substrate 10. In one embodiment, each side of the substrate 10 includes only one transmission unit 50, and the connection layer 40 of the transmission unit 50 is located between the substrate 10 and the corresponding first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30. At least one of the two connection layers 40 has a dielectric loss of less than or equal to 0.02.
Specifically, the material of the connection layer 40 is a high-speed low-speed material, which is an organic resin. For example, the material of the connection layer 40 may be a material of model TU863F, TU SLK of table gla technologies, inc, or a material of model M4, M6 of pine electronic materials, inc, or a material of MW1000 of Nelco and EM285 of table photoelectrons.
In another embodiment, at least two stacked transfer units 50 may be provided on either of opposite sides of the substrate 10. The substrate 10 is connected to the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 corresponding to the adjacent transmission units 50, and the two transmission units 50 located on the same side of the substrate 10 are connected by a connection layer 40. The dielectric loss of at least one of the connection layers 40 is less than or equal to 0.02. In the present embodiment, the dielectric loss of the connection layer 40 between the two transmission units 50 located on the same side of the substrate 10 is less than or equal to 0.02.
Therefore, by fixing the corresponding first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 on the substrate 10 using the connection layer 40 having a dielectric loss less than 0.02, signal loss during transmission of signals in the corresponding first and second transmission line layers 20 and 30 can be reduced.
In the above embodiment, the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 are disposed on the same first transmission line layer 20 and second transmission line layer 30, that is, the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 are disposed on the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30. However, in other embodiments, the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 may be distributed on different first transmission line layers 20 and second transmission line layers 30, respectively.
For example, referring to fig. 9, in another embodiment, the first transmission line layer 20 may include a first input line layer 24 and a first coupling line layer 25; the second transmission line layer 30 may also include a second input line layer 31 and a second coupled line layer 33. The first input line layer 24 is electrically connected to the second input line layer 31, and the first coupled line layer 25 is electrically connected to the second coupled line layer 33. The first input line layer 24 and the first coupling line layer 25 are stacked on one side of the substrate 10 along the axial direction of the inner via hole 13, and a connection layer 40 is further disposed between the first input line layer 24 and the first coupling line layer 25. The second input line layer 31 and the second coupling line layer 33 are stacked on the other opposite side of the substrate 10 along the axial direction of the inner via hole 13, and a connection layer 40 is further provided between the second input line layer 31 and the second coupling line layer 33. The connection layer 40 may be made of an insulating adhesive material, or may be made of a material having a dielectric loss of less than 0.02 as described above.
In the present embodiment, the first and second input line layers 24 and 31, and the first and second coupled line layers 25 and 33 each include a plurality of conductor patterns (not shown). Each of the conductive patterns on the first and second coupling line layers 25 and 33 is an input line, and each of the conductive patterns on the first and second input line layers 24 and 31 is a coupling line. Wherein each at least one input line on the same input line layer (e.g., the first input line layer 24 or the second input line layer 31) forms an input line group, and each at least one coupled line on the same coupled line layer (e.g., the first coupled line layer 25 or the second coupled line layer 33) forms a coupled line group. Wherein the projections of the plurality of input line groups on the first input line layer 24 and the plurality of coupled line groups on the first coupled line layer 25 on the substrate 10 are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16. The projections of the plurality of input line groups on the second input line layer 31 and the plurality of coupled line groups on the second coupled line layer 33 on the substrate 10 are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 16. The first input line layer 24, the second input line layer 31, the first coupled line layer 25, the second coupled line layer 33, and the substrate 10 may be stacked in a predetermined order. In one embodiment, the stacking sequence may be: a first input line layer 24, a first coupled line layer 25, a substrate 10, a second input line layer 31, and a second coupled line layer 33. In another embodiment, the stacking sequence may be: a first input line layer 24, a first coupled line layer 25, a substrate 10, a second coupled line layer 33, and a second input line layer 31. In yet another embodiment, the stacking sequence thereof may be: a first coupled line layer 25, a first input line layer 24, a substrate 10, a second input line layer 31, and a second coupled line layer 33.
The conductor patterns 22 for forming the coils may be layered in the manner described above for all electromagnetic devices.
In one embodiment, when each input line group includes only one input line and each coupled line group includes only one coupled line, the projection patterns of the plurality of input line groups and the plurality of coupled line groups on the substrate 10 are similar to the line patterns shown in fig. 4 or 5.
In another embodiment, when each input line group includes two input lines and each coupled line group includes only two coupled lines, the projection patterns of the plurality of input line groups and the plurality of coupled line groups on the substrate 10 are similar to the line patterns shown in fig. 7 or 8.
In a further embodiment, the projections of the plurality of input line groups on the input line layer 24 and the plurality of coupled line groups on the coupled line layer 25 onto the substrate 10 may also at least partially coincide with each other, and the projections of the plurality of input line groups on the input line layer 31 and the plurality of coupled line groups on the coupled line layer 33 onto the substrate 10 coincide with each other.
In the present embodiment, since the plurality of input lines and the plurality of coupling lines on the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 located on opposite sides of the substrate 10 are disposed on different layers, the wiring space of the transformer 110 can be increased, so that the size of the conductive pattern 22 is increased, and the overcurrent capability of the transformer 110 can be improved.
Referring to fig. 4 and 10, the present application further provides a method for manufacturing a transformer 110, and in combination with fig. 1-3, the method for manufacturing the transformer 110 includes the following steps:
S10: a substrate 10 is provided, and an annular accommodating groove 18 is opened on the substrate 10 to divide the substrate 10 into a central portion 12 and a peripheral portion 14.
In this embodiment, the substrate 10 may be a plate material that does not include a conductive metal layer, and the annular accommodating groove 18 may be formed on any surface of the substrate 10. In still another embodiment, a base block may be further provided, wherein the base block includes the substrate 10, the connection layer, and the transmission line layer laminated in this order; and an annular receiving groove 18 is formed on a side of the substrate 10 where the transmission line layer is not provided to divide the substrate 10 into a central portion 12 and a peripheral portion 14.
The base plate 10 may be made of a resin material having a flame resistance rating of FR4, and the annular receiving groove 18 may be milled in the base plate 10 by a milling process.
S20: the magnetic core 16 matching the shape of the annular receiving groove 18 is buried in the annular receiving groove 18.
Wherein the core 16 may comprise a magnetic metal oxide such as manganese-zinc ferrite or nickel-zinc ferrite. Wherein the magnetic core 16 may be disposed into the annular receiving groove 18 by way of an interference fit such that the magnetic core 16 may be secured in the annular receiving groove 18 of the base plate 10. In another embodiment, the size of the magnetic core 16 is slightly smaller than the size of the annular accommodating groove 18, and the height of the magnetic core 16 should be smaller than or equal to the height of the annular accommodating groove, so as to reduce the pressure born by the magnetic core 16 during small pressing, and reduce the probability of breaking the magnetic core 16.
Wherein, part or all of the surfaces of the magnetic cores 16 may be coated with an elastic material, then the magnetic cores 16 (wherein, the number of the magnetic cores 16 may be N, and part or all of the surfaces of at least one magnetic core 16 of the N magnetic cores are coated with an elastic material) are respectively disposed in the corresponding annular accommodating grooves 18, and then an insulating layer is disposed on the surface of the opening side of the corresponding annular accommodating groove 18 on the substrate 10, so as to form a cavity (closed cavity or non-closed cavity) for accommodating the magnetic cores 16.
Further, the surface of the magnetic core 16 may be provided with a coating layer by which the magnetic core 16 is fixed in the annular receiving groove 18.
S30: one conductive sheet is respectively pressed on both sides of the substrate 10.
Step S30 includes: and sequentially laminating the first conductive sheet, the first connecting sheet, the substrate, the second connecting sheet and the second conductive sheet, and performing hot press.
In the present embodiment, the method of pressing conductive sheets on opposite sides of the substrate 10 is as follows: the connection layers 40 are disposed on each side of the substrate 10, and then a conductive sheet is disposed on a side of each connection layer 40 facing away from the substrate 10, and thermal compression is performed, so that each conductive sheet may be fixed on one side of the substrate 10 through the corresponding connection layer 40. During the thermal compression process, the connection layer 40 may melt to bond each conductive sheet to one side of the substrate 10, and the connection layer 40 may insulate the magnetic core 16 from the conductive sheets on both sides, preventing electrical connection between the magnetic core 16 and the conductive sheets. The connection layer 40 may be made of an insulating adhesive material, or may be made of a material having a dielectric loss of less than 0.02.
The step of pressing two sides of the substrate 10 with one conductive sheet respectively further includes:
S32: a connection layer 40 is provided between the two conductive sheets and the substrate 10, respectively.
In this step, each conductive sheet and the connection layer 40 corresponding thereto may constitute one conductive unit, that is, the method of this embodiment may also include providing one conductive unit on each side of the substrate 10. In one embodiment, the connection layer is a solid connection sheet, and the connection sheet and the conductive sheet are sequentially laminated on the substrate. The connection layer 40 is formed by connecting sheets so that the conductive sheets can be adhered to the substrate 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the connection layer may also be a liquid slurry, and may be disposed between the conductive sheet and the substrate by coating or the like.
Wherein the dielectric loss of at least one connection layer 40 is less than or equal to 0.02, whereby the transmission loss of the signal transmitted by each transmission line layer can be reduced, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the signal in the transmission line layer. Wherein the material of the connection layer 40 is a high-speed and low-speed material, which is an organic resin. For example, the material of the connection layer 40 may be a material of model TU863F, TU SLK of table gla technologies, inc, or a material of model M4, M6 of pine electronic materials, inc, or a material of MW1000 of Nelco and EM285 of table photoelectrons.
S40: an inner via hole 13 penetrating the substrate 10 and the two conductive sheets is opened at the corresponding central portion 12, and an outer via hole 15 penetrating the substrate 10 and the two conductive sheets is opened at the corresponding peripheral portion 14.
After the two conductive sheets on both sides of the substrate 10 are disposed, it is necessary to provide an inner via hole 13 at the position of the central portion 12 of the substrate 10 and an outer via hole 15 at the position of the peripheral portion 14. Wherein the inner via hole 13 and the outer via hole 15 penetrate through the substrate 10 and the two conductive sheets.
S50: a plurality of conductive patterns 22 are formed on each conductive sheet to form a transmission line layer, respectively, and a conductive member 17 is disposed in each inner via 13 and each outer via 15, respectively. The plurality of conductive patterns 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the annular accommodating groove 18, and each conductive pattern 22 is bridged between a corresponding one of the inner through holes 13 and a corresponding one of the outer through holes 15. All the conductive members 17 in the inner via holes 13 and the conductive members 17 in the outer via holes 15 are sequentially connected to the corresponding conductive patterns 22 on the two transmission line layers 30, thereby forming a coil loop capable of transmitting current around the magnetic core 16. The manufacturing method of the conductive member can be as described above.
After the inner via hole 13 and the outer via hole 15 are completed, the wiring pattern 22 is then formed. I.e. the conductor pattern 22 is provided on both conductive sheets. The method of providing the conductive patterns 22 is to etch the two conductive sheets so that the two conductive sheets form a plurality of conductive patterns 22 respectively bridging between the corresponding one of the inner conductive vias 13 and the corresponding one of the outer conductive vias 15, that is, the two conductive sheets form the first transmission line layer 20 and the second transmission line layer 30 having the plurality of conductive patterns 22 respectively. When a connection layer 40 is disposed between two conductive sheets and the substrate 10, after the conductive sheets form corresponding transmission line layers by etching, each transmission line layer and the corresponding connection layer 40 form a transmission unit, i.e. the conductive sheets and the connection layer 40 adjacent to the conductive sheets and near the substrate form a transmission unit. Specifically, one transmission unit is disposed on one side of the substrate 10 along the axial direction of the inner via hole 13, and one transmission unit is disposed on the other opposite side of the substrate 10, so that dielectric loss of the connection layer 40 between at least one conductive layer of the two transmission units and the substrate 10 is less than or equal to 0.02.
Optionally, one transmission unit is disposed on one side of the substrate 10 along the axial direction of the through hole of the inner conductive hole 13, two adjacent transmission units are disposed on the other opposite side of the substrate 10, and the dielectric loss of the connection layer 40 between the two adjacent transmission units is less than or equal to 0.02.
Wherein the dielectric loss of the connection layer 40 in each transmission unit is less than or equal to 0.02, the transmission loss of the signal transmitted by the transmission line layer in each transmission unit can be reduced, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the signal in the transmission line layer.
The specific method for disposing the conductive patterns 22 on each conductive sheet may be: and exposing and developing the conductive sheet to obtain the protective film on the surface of the conductive sheet. The protective film outside the position where the wiring pattern 22 is provided is then removed. And then, the conductive sheet is contacted with etching liquid, so that the etching liquid dissolves the metal layer which is contacted with the conductive sheet and is not covered by the protective film. After the etching is completed, the substrate 10 is cleaned, the etching solution on the surface of the substrate is removed, and then the protective film is removed, so that a plurality of conductive patterns 22 on the two conductive sheets are obtained, and a first transmission line layer 20 and a second transmission line layer 30 with the plurality of conductive patterns 22 are formed.
The conductive patterns 22 may also include input lines and coupling lines, wherein the arrangement manner of the input lines and the coupling lines in the same layer or layered arrangement is specifically referred to above, and will not be described herein. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the coupling effect of the transformer 110 can be improved by reasonably arranging the input line 222 and the coupling line 224. Meanwhile, when the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 are arranged in a layered manner, the arrangement area of the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 can be increased, so that the line widths of the input line 222 and the coupling line 224 can be increased, and the overcurrent capacity of the whole transformer 110 can be improved.

Accordingly, the plurality of central portions, the corresponding peripheral portions, and the plurality of magnetic cores on each layer of the substrate, and the transmission line layers on opposite sides of each layer of the substrate form the plurality of transformers 110 and the plurality of filters 120 arranged according to a predetermined arrangement rule on the same substrate 310. Wherein at least one transformer 110 and at least one filter 120 are electrically connected to form an electromagnetic assembly 320.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 13, the integrated transformer 300 may include only one layer of substrate 310, and 4 sets of electromagnetic components 320 are disposed on the substrate 310. Wherein all transformers 110 and all filters 120 in each set of electromagnetic assemblies 320 are electrically connected, and the sets of electromagnetic assemblies 320 are not electrically connected to each other.
With further reference to fig. 13, in this embodiment, each set of electromagnetic assemblies 320 includes one transformer 110 and one filter 120. With this configuration, the transformer 110 in each set of electromagnetic assemblies 320 is electrically connected to the filter 120, and the transformer 110 and the filter 120 in different sets of electromagnetic assemblies are not connected to each other.

In another embodiment, the integrated transformer 300 may include a multi-layered substrate 310, for example, the integrated transformer 300 may include 3 layers of substrates 310 in the embodiment shown in fig. 13, and the multi-layered substrates 310 are sequentially stacked along the axial direction of the inner via holes 313. A plurality of transformers 110 and a plurality of filters 120 may be formed on each layer of the substrate 310, and at least one transformer 110 and at least one filter 120 are electrically connected to form an electromagnetic assembly 320. All transformers 110 and all filters 120 in each set of electromagnetic assemblies 320 formed on the same substrate 310 are electrically connected, and the transformers 110 and filters 120 in each set of electromagnetic assemblies 320 are not connected.
In this embodiment, the arrangement rule of each set of electromagnetic components 320 is the same as that in the previous embodiment, please refer to the previous embodiment, and the description is omitted here.
The transformer 110 and the filter 120 in the above embodiment are arranged in the same layer, and further in other embodiments, the transformer 110 and the filter 120 may be arranged in layers. In one embodiment, the integrated transformer 300 may include at least two layers of substrates 310 in a stacked arrangement. The at least two substrates 310 include at least one first substrate 3101 and at least one second substrate 3102, wherein the first substrate 3101 and the first substrate 3102 are the same as the substrate 10 (as shown in fig. 1-3) described in the above embodiments, except that the first substrate 3101 and the second substrate 3102 are relatively large in size, so that an annular accommodating groove for accommodating a magnetic core corresponding to the plurality of transformers 110 may be formed on the first substrate 3101, and only the plurality of transformers 110 may be formed. The second substrate 3102 may form an annular receiving groove for receiving the magnetic core corresponding to the plurality of filters 120, and only the plurality of filters 120 are formed.
Specifically, a plurality of annular accommodating grooves corresponding to each transformer 110 one by one are formed on the first substrate 3101, and each annular accommodating groove divides the first substrate 3101 into a central portion 312 surrounded by the annular accommodating grooves and a peripheral portion 314 disposed around the annular accommodating grooves. Each transformer 110 has the same structure as the transformer 110 described above, that is, includes a central portion, a peripheral portion, a magnetic core embedded in the annular accommodating groove, and transmission line layers located on opposite sides of the first substrate 3101, and these elements are the same as the previous structures and will not be described in detail herein. In this way, a plurality of transformers 110 on the first substrate 3101 may be formed on each layer of the first substrate 3101.
Similarly, an annular accommodating groove corresponding to each filter 120 is formed in the second substrate 3102, and each annular accommodating groove divides the second substrate 3102 into a central portion 312 surrounded by the annular accommodating groove and a peripheral portion 314 surrounding the annular accommodating groove. Each of the filters 120 has the same structure as the transformer 110 described above, that is, includes a central portion, a peripheral portion, a magnetic core embedded in the annular receiving groove, and transmission line layers disposed on opposite sides of the second substrate 3102, and these elements are the same as the previous structures and will not be described in detail herein. In this way, a plurality of filters 120 on the same substrate can be formed on each layer of the second substrate 3102.
When there is a multi-layered substrate 310, in one embodiment, a plurality of first substrates 3101 provided with transformers 110 and a plurality of second substrates 3102 provided with filters 120 may be overlapped, i.e., the transformers 110 and filters 120 in the integrated transformer 300 are respectively located at different layers, and an electromagnetic assembly may be formed between at least one transformer 110 and at least one filter 120 between adjacent layers. For example, at least one transformer 110 on the first substrate 3101 and at least one filter 120 on the second substrate 3102 may form an electromagnetic assembly, and all transformers 110 and filters 120 in each electromagnetic assembly are electrically connected, and the electromagnetic assemblies of each group are not electrically connected.
In another embodiment, a plurality of first substrates 3101 provided with the transformers 110 may be sequentially stacked and then stacked with a plurality of second substrates 3102 provided with the filters 120 and sequentially stacked.
The first substrate 3101 has a plurality of transformers 110 formed thereon, that is, the plurality of transformers 110 share one first substrate 3101, and in this case, the first substrate 3101 may also be referred to as a transformer layer. The second substrate 3102 has a plurality of filters 120 formed thereon, that is, the plurality of filters 120 share one first substrate 3102, and in this case, the second substrate 3102 may also be referred to as a filter layer.
The transformer layer and the filter layer are electrically connected through conductive through holes penetrating through the transformer layer and the filter layer simultaneously.
In addition, the electrical connection between a transformer and the corresponding filter can also be realized by means of blind vias, which extend from the transmission line layer of the transformer layer on the side facing away from the filter layer to the transmission line layer of the filter layer on the side facing away from the transformer layer; alternatively, the blind via may extend from a transmission line layer of the filter layer on a side remote from the transformer layer to a transmission line layer of the transformer layer on a side close to the filter. Further, the conductive via (blind via) and the conductive line pattern on the transmission line layer connected with the conductive via (blind via) cooperate together to realize the electrical connection between the transformer and the filter.
Referring to fig. 14-16, in one implementation, the integrated transformer 300 includes a two-layer substrate 310 including a first substrate 3101 and a second substrate 3102. Wherein four transformers 110 are formed on the first substrate 3101 (see fig. 15), and four filters 120 are formed on the second substrate 3102 (see fig. 16). In this embodiment, the structure of each transformer 110 and the filter 120 is the same as that described above, and will not be repeated.
Further, the integrated transformer 300 may also include a multi-layered substrate 310, wherein the substrate 310 may have at least 3 layers, each layer of substrate being sequentially stacked, wherein the integrated transformer 300 having the multi-layered substrate may be specifically disposed in the same manner as the multi-layered substrate described above, except that each layer of substrate 310 in the present embodiment forms only the transformer 110 thereon or forms only the filter 120 thereon.
For network transformers, a larger inductance value is required for the transformer, which results in a larger volume of the core relative to the filter, i.e. the height of the core of the transformer is generally larger than the height of the core of the filter, as in a multi-layer structure, with a transformer per layer, which increases the overall height of the integrated transformer. Therefore, compared to a structure in which all transformers and filters share the same substrate, the thickness of the substrate shared by the filters can be smaller than that of the substrate shared by the transformers by layering the transformers 110 and the filters 120, so that the whole integrated transformer 300 has a compact structure. In addition, the thickness of the transmission line layer of the filter 120 may be set to be smaller than that of the transmission line layer of the transformer 110, so that when the filter 120 and the transformer 110 need to be stacked, the total thickness of the layered arrangement of the filter 120 and the transformer 110 is smaller than that of the arrangement of the same layers of the filter 120 and the transformer 110. Therefore, the entire integrated transformer 300 can be further made compact.
In this embodiment, with continued reference to fig. 13, a connection layer 340 is disposed between the first substrate 3101 and the second substrate 3102 and the transmission line layers 330 disposed on both sides thereof. At least one of the connection layers 340 has a dielectric loss of less than or equal to 0.02.
By controlling the dielectric loss of the connection layer 340 to be less than or equal to 0.02, the loss of the signal can be reduced when the transmission line layer 330 transmits the signal, and thus the signal transmission efficiency can be improved.
Further, the application also provides an electromagnetic device 400. As shown in fig. 17, the electromagnetic device 400 includes an electromagnetic element 410 (for example, an inductance device, a transformer, and a filter, which will be described below with reference to a transformer as an example), and a composite layer 420 provided on the surface thereof. The electromagnetic element 410 may be the same as the electromagnetic element described in the previous embodiments, and will not be described herein.
As shown in fig. 17 and 18, the composite layer 420 is disposed on a side of the transmission line layer 412 of the electromagnetic element 410 farthest from the substrate 411, which is opposite to the substrate 411. The composite layer 420 is used for disposing the electronic component 430 such that the electronic component 430 is electrically connected to at least one transmission line layer 412 adjacent to the composite layer 420.
With further reference to fig. 17 and 18, the composite layer 420 includes an adhesive layer 424 and a conductive layer 422. Wherein the adhesive layer 424 is located between the conductive layer 422 and the corresponding transmission line layer 412, and is used to fix the conductive layer 422 to the transmission line layer 412 of the electromagnetic element 410, and to separate the conductive layer 422 from the transmission line layer 412, so as to prevent short-circuiting. The electronic component 430 is attached to the conductive layer 422.
Specifically, in one embodiment, the electronic component 430 includes an outgoing terminal (not shown). The conductive layer 422 includes a component connection portion 450 for fixedly connecting the lead terminals of the electronic component 430. In addition, the conductive layer 422 further includes a conductive connection line (not shown), and a plurality of first conductive holes (not shown) are further formed on the conductive layer 422, wherein the conductive connection line electrically connects the first conductive holes with the element connection portion 450. Each first conductive via extends from the conductive layer 422 to at least one transmission line layer.
In this embodiment, the component connection portion 450 may be a pad or a gold finger, and the lead-out terminal of the electronic component 430 is fixed on the side of the component connection portion 450 facing away from the adhesive layer 424.
In another embodiment, the device connection 450 may also be a second conductive via, and the second conductive via extends from the conductive layer 422 to at least one transmission line layer. The lead-out terminal of each electronic component 430 is inserted into the corresponding second conductive hole and is electrically connected to the inner wall of the corresponding second conductive hole. In one embodiment, the fixed connection between each lead-out terminal and the inner wall of the corresponding second conductive hole may be achieved by, for example, a conductive connection. In another embodiment, each of the lead-out terminals may abut against an inner wall of the corresponding second conductive hole.
Further, in other embodiments, the electromagnetic device 400 may further include an electromagnetic element 410, a composite layer 420 disposed on the electromagnetic element 410, and an electronic element 430 disposed on the composite layer 420 and electrically connected to the battery element 410, and specific configuration structures of the electromagnetic element 410, the composite layer 420, and the electronic element 430 are referred to above, and are not described herein. The number of the electronic elements 430 is one or more, and the electronic elements 430 may be electronic elements such as capacitors and/or resistors.
Wherein the electronic element 430 may form a filter circuit together with the composite layer 420. Specifically, the electromagnetic device 400 further includes a ground terminal, and the composite layer 420 is provided with a connection wire. The electronic component 430 may include a capacitor and a resistor. One end of the capacitor is electrically connected to one end of the resistor through a connecting wire, the other end of the capacitor is connected to the ground, and the other end of the resistor is electrically connected to the coupling line layer in the electromagnetic element 410.
Further, a plurality of electronic components 430 may be included on the electromagnetic device 400 and disposed on the composite layer 420. Wherein the electronic components 430 may include, but are not limited to, capacitance, resistance, inductance, and the like. In addition, the plurality of electronic components 430 may be connected to each other to form a circuit having a certain function, such as a filter circuit. When the plurality of electronic components 430 are connected to form a filter circuit, the interference signal in the signal processed by the transformer can be filtered, so that the performance of the integrated electromagnetic device 400 is improved.
In this embodiment, in order to protect the conductive patterns on the transmission line layer 412 and prevent the conductive patterns on the transmission line layer 412 from being shorted with other elements, an insulating layer (not shown) may be further disposed on a side of the transmission line layer 412 facing away from the substrate 411. In this embodiment, the insulating layer is placed on the surface of the composite layer. Wherein the insulating layer may be Polyimide (PI) or an ink coating.
The electromagnetic device 400 in this embodiment is formed by disposing the composite layer 420 on the side of the transmission line layer 412 opposite to the substrate 411, and disposing the electronic component 430 on the composite layer 420. In other embodiments, instead of adding a composite layer, a bonding layer may be directly disposed on the side of the substrate having the transmission line layer, and the electronic component 430 may be directly connected to the bonding layer. Where "directly connected" refers herein to electronic component 430 being connected to the bonding layer without the aid of other intervening media. In practice, the electronic component 430 includes an outgoing terminal, and the outgoing terminal is directly connected to the bonding layer. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 19-20, one side of the substrate 510 of the electromagnetic device 500 has a transmission line layer 512 and a bonding layer 560 arranged in a same layer, wherein the electronic component 530 is directly connected to the bonding layer 560. The bonding layer 560 is disposed in the same layer as the transmission line layer 512 on one side thereof, does not overlap, and is electrically connected. I.e., the bonding layer 560 may be electrically connected by, for example, electrically conductive connection lines and the transmission line layer 512 disposed in the same layer. Wherein "non-overlapping" does not preclude the use of wires to connect the bonding layer 560 and the transmission line layer 512.
In other embodiments, the bonding layer 560 may also be electrically connected to the transmission line layer 512 on the other side of the substrate 510. For example, the bonding layer 560 may be electrically connected to the transmission line layer 512 of the substrate 510 on the side opposite to the bonding layer 560 by providing a conductive via thereon, which is not limited herein.
In this embodiment, a fixing layer 580 may be further disposed on the transmission line layer 512 on the side of the substrate 510 opposite to the bonding layer 560, and the fixing layer 580 is used to fix and electrically connect the electromagnetic device 500 with an external circuit (not shown). In this embodiment, the fixing layer 580 may be disposed in the same layer as the transmission line layer 512 on the same side and not overlap with the same layer, i.e. the fixing layer 580 is disposed in the same layer as the transmission line layer 512 on one side of the substrate 510, and the fixing layer 580 is electrically connected to the transmission line layer 512 on the same side. Wherein "non-overlapping" does not preclude the use of wires to connect the fixed layer 580 and the transmission line layer 512. The fixing layer 580 may be a pad for fixing the whole electromagnetic device 500 to a predetermined position, for example, the electromagnetic device 500 may be fixed to a circuit board through the fixing layer 580, so that the electromagnetic device 500 may be connected to a predetermined circuit on the circuit board.
Further, the application also provides an integrated transformer, wherein the integrated transformer can comprise any one of the integrated transformers. Referring to fig. 21-22, the integrated transformer 600 in the present embodiment is different from the integrated transformer described above in that the integrated transformer 600 has a composite layer (see fig. 21) for disposing electronic components similar to the electromagnetic device 400 or a bonding layer (see fig. 22) for disposing electronic components similar to the electromagnetic device 500. The method for setting the composite layer or the bonding layer may be the same as that described above. Likewise, a fixing layer 680 may be disposed on the integrated transformer 600, thereby fixing and electrically connecting the integrated transformer 600 to an external circuit.
In one embodiment, in particular, when the integrated transformer has only one layer of substrate, at least one transformer and at least one filter electrically connected to the at least one transformer may be disposed on the substrate, wherein the specific disposition of the transformer and the filter may be referred to as fig. 13. The transmission line layers are arranged on two opposite sides of the substrate. The transmission line layer on one side can be provided with a jointing layer which is arranged on the same layer as the transmission line layer, or the transmission line layer on the side opposite to the substrate is provided with a composite layer. Optionally, a fixing layer is disposed on a side of the substrate facing away from the bonding layer or facing away from the composite layer to fix and electrically connect the integrated transformer with an external circuit. The bonding layer and the fixing layer can be arranged on one side of the substrate close to the filter because the number of the conductor patterns of the filter is small, so that the integrated transformer is compact in structure.
In another embodiment, the integrated transformer 600 may include a plurality of layers of substrates 610 stacked in sequence. The electronic component 630 may be connected to the integrated transformer 600 by adding a composite layer 620 on a side of the transmission line layer facing away from the substrate, or by providing a bonding layer 660 on the substrate. Specifically, the bonding layer or the composite layer may be disposed on one of the substrates of the outermost layer, and the fixing layer may be disposed on one of the substrates farthest from the substrate on which the bonding layer or the composite layer is disposed, and facing away from the bonding layer.
Referring to fig. 21 and 22, in particular, the integrated transformer 600 may include a 3-layer substrate 610 (a first substrate 6101, a second substrate 6102, and a third substrate 6103, respectively). The first substrate 6101, the third substrate 6103, and the second substrate 6102 are stacked in order along an axial direction of an internal via hole on one of the substrates and electrically connected. That is, the third substrate 6103 is between the first substrate 6101 and the second substrate 6102.
The composite layer 620 (see fig. 21) or the bonding layer 660 (see fig. 21) may be disposed on a side of the first substrate 6101 opposite to the third substrate 6103, and the fixing layer 680 is disposed on a side of the second substrate 6102 opposite to the third substrate 6103; or the composite layer 620 or the bonding layer 660 may be disposed on the second substrate 6102 opposite to the third substrate 6103, and the fixing layer 680 is disposed on the first substrate 6101 opposite to the third substrate 6103.
In one embodiment, the composite layer 620 or the bonding layer 660 may be disposed on the first substrate 6101 or the second substrate 6102 when at least one set of electromagnetic components including transformers and filters may be formed on each layer of the substrate 610, for example, when the first substrate 6101, the second substrate 6102, and the third substrate 6103 shown in fig. 21 and 22 are each provided with at least one set of electromagnetic components including transformers and filters formed thereon.
When the transformers and the filters are formed on different substrates, for example, some of the substrates 610 are provided with the transformers, and other of the substrates 610 are provided with the filters, the fixing layer may be disposed on the substrate forming the filters and the composite layer or the bonding layer may be disposed on the substrate forming the transformers due to the smaller number of the conductive patterns of the filters, so that the integrated transformer has a compact structure.
For example, in one embodiment, only the transformer may be formed on the first substrate 6101 shown in fig. 21 and 22, and only the filter may be formed on the second substrate 6102; the third substrate 6103 may have only the transformer or only the filter formed thereon, or may have both the transformer and the filter formed thereon. In this case, to make the structure of the integrated transformer more compact, the composite layer 620 or the bonding layer 660 may be disposed on the side of the first substrate 6101 opposite to the second substrate 6102 forming the transformer, and the fixing layer 680 may be disposed on the side of the second substrate 6102 opposite to the third substrate 6103 forming the filter. According to the embodiment, the electronic element is directly attached to the joint layer arranged on the same layer as the transmission line layer or the composite layer arranged on the side, opposite to the substrate, of the transmission line layer, so that on one hand, the production and processing steps can be simplified, and the yield of products can be improved; on the other hand, the integration level of the electromagnetic device is higher, and the electromagnetic device is more convenient to use.
The application also provides an electronic device, which may comprise an electromagnetic device, which may comprise at least one of a transformer, an integrated transformer, an electromagnetic element or an electromagnetic device as described in the previous embodiments.
The foregoing description is only of embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the scope of the application, and all equivalent structures or equivalent processes using the descriptions and the drawings of the present application or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present application.
