Method for manufacturing planar transformer {Method for Fabricating Planar Transformer}

The present invention relates to a planar transformer, and more particularly, to form a wound coil pattern using copper plating using an electro-formed master having a wound coil pattern, and then winding the wound coil pattern to a plastic. The present invention relates to a planar transformer that can be produced by transferring and attaching to a film to produce a wound inlay film and incorporating these films.

Planar transformers are electronic components used in power conversion devices of electronic devices such as televisions, communicators, computers, etc., and the basic configuration includes primary coils and secondary coils made by winding copper wire around a ferrite core.

The planar transformer may change the number of turns of the pair of primary and secondary coils to change the voltage applied to the primary and secondary coils.

Such transformers can be used for various purposes in electronic circuits. In other words, it is widely used as a transformer for increasing and decreasing voltage, a power transformer, a transformer for noise reduction, and the like, in particular, a transformer used in a switching mode power supply and a DC-DC converter, etc., to transmit a signal of a high voltage square wave to a low voltage square wave. Used.

Recently, due to the trend toward miniaturization and thinning of electronic devices, transformers entering the power supply unit of electronic devices also need to be miniaturized and low profile.

Conventional miniature transformers for electronic components have a problem in that they are structurally thin because they are formed of a primary coil and a secondary coil made of a wound copper wire.

In addition, in the case of the planar transformer which has improved this, a plurality of primary coils and secondary coils wound with copper wires have been stacked, and holes have been manufactured to process holes to electrically connect the stacked coils, and to be plated inside the holes.

However, the conventional planar transformer has a limitation in thinning because it is manufactured by winding a copper wire, and it is difficult to easily change the thickness, the cross-sectional area of the winding coil, the number of turns of the winding, and the terminal terminal.

In addition, the conventional planar transformer has a technical difficulty in that a plurality of coils are stacked and hole processing and secondary plating processes inside the holes are performed to electrically connect the stacked coils.

The present invention is to solve this problem, to manufacture a winding assembly of the shape wound around the ferrite core primary coil and the secondary coil wound while transferring the wound coil pattern to a flat plastic film. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a planar transformer that can be structurally thin.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a planar manufacturing method excellent in dielectric breakdown voltage characteristics while reducing the volume of the transformer, miniaturization and thinning.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a planar manufacturing method that does not require hole processing for electrically connecting the terminals of the film when two or more coil films are laminated.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a coil coil having an input part terminal and an output part terminal on the outside is transferred and bonded to a plastic film using an electro-formed master to form a winding coil for forming a primary coil. Forming an embedded first inlay film; Transferring and adhering a coil pattern having an input terminal and an output terminal to the outside using a pole master with a plastic film to form a second inlay film having a winding coil for forming a secondary coil; Forming an insulation by pattern screen printing a portion of the winding coil of the inlay film with an insulation material; Transferring and bonding a jump line electrically connectable from an inner winding coil end to an outer output terminal using a pole master to the inlay film; And combining the first inlay film and the second inlay film by thermal compression.

In this case, the method of manufacturing a planar string transformer according to the present invention transfers and bonds a coil pattern having an input terminal and an output terminal to the outside using a electro-formed master with a plastic film to form a primary coil. Forming a third inlay film having a winding coil embedded therein; Disposing the third inlay film opposite the first inlay film about the second inlay film and bonding by thermal compression; Preferably, the method further includes electrically connecting the output terminal of the first inlay film and the input terminal of the third inlay film by terminating the input terminal.

The method may further include applying a conductive paste to a surface in electrical contact with the first inlay film and the second inlay film when the jump line is formed before thermocompression bonding.

In addition, the bonded plurality of inlay film may further comprise the step of bonding to the E-shaped ferrite core.

In addition, the primary coil forming inlay film or the secondary coil forming inlay film with the winding coil is further formed, and the plurality of primary coil forming inlay films are electrically connected to each other and the plurality of second By further comprising electrically connecting the inlay films for forming the secondary coils to each other, it becomes possible to manufacture a planar transformer from a large number of inlay films.

According to the present invention, since the primary coil and the secondary coil pattern material can be easily implemented with the copper plating pattern having excellent electrical characteristics by using the pole master, the structure can be made thinner.

In addition, the copper plating pattern formed by the plating process can achieve the same characteristics as the conventional copper wire in terms of electrical characteristics and physical properties, and in the design of the pattern it is necessary to vary the cross-sectional area and the line width of the winding pattern It becomes possible.

In addition, when two or more coil films are laminated, cost reduction may be required because hole processing for electrically connecting terminals of the film is not necessary.

FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a planar transformer showing the configuration of inlay films having a coil wound therein in a planar transformer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the number of windings is increased by using two inlay films 100 and 300 in which the wound coils 110 and 310 forming the primary coil are embedded. A planar transformer may be manufactured by inserting an inlay film 200 having a secondary coil forming winding coil embedded between the primary coil forming inlay films 100 and 300.

As shown in FIG. 2, the input terminal 120 of the primary coil is connected to the wound coil wire 110 and ends at the winding end 140 of the inlay film 100. In addition, the winding end 140 is connected to the output terminal 130 of the inlay film 100 in the form of a jump line 150 for connection with an external electrical circuit.

The jump line 150 may be configured as a cross section of the dotted line A-B as shown in FIG. 3.

First, the insulating part 170 is formed by pattern screen printing a part of the winding coil of the inlay film with an insulating material. The jump line 150 may be formed with the winding coil 110 and the insulator 170 interposed therebetween. The jump line 150 may also be transferred and adhered to a separate plating pattern using a pole master. It is also possible to apply.

The winding coil 110 and the jump line 150 are electrically insulated from each other by the insulating unit 170.

In this case, the jump line 150 must maintain electrical contact with the winding end 140 and the output terminal 130.

The inlay films 100 and 300 for forming the primary coil are formed on the opposite side of the adhesive surface of the pattern plating material to be bonded to the inlay film during the transfer to the adhesive-coated plastic film through the pole master. By thermally compressing the inlay film 200 for forming the secondary coil, the jump line 150 can be secured in electrical contact with the winding end 140 and the output terminal 130.
