Hereinafter, a manufacturing method of the antenna assembly 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in connection with the contents of FIGS. 25 to 27. FIG.

First, referring to FIG. 28, a magnetic substrate 100 is disposed. In one embodiment, the magnetic substrate 100 may be fabricated by applying a sendust alloy (Al, Fe, SiO2) metal powder over a polyethylene-based rubber and forming an oxide coating on the surface.

Next, referring to FIG. 29, heat and pressure are simultaneously applied to the magnetic substrate 100 by using the metal mold 1 to form a pattern groove capable of accommodating the inner antenna 200. The mold 1 can be made to have the same shape as the inner antenna 200. [ In one embodiment, the material of the mold 1 may be an aluminum alloy, a copper alloy, cast iron, or the like.

The mold 1 may be provided with a protrusion corresponding to a position where the inner antenna 200 for wirelessly receiving power is disposed.

When heat is applied by using the metal mold 1, heat having a specific temperature is applied in consideration of the characteristics of the metal powder of the sendust alloy, which is a component of the magnetic substrate 100. In one embodiment, when the magnetic substrate 100 is manufactured by applying a sendust alloy metal powder onto the polyethylene rubber, when heat and pressure are applied using the metal mold 1, And then cooled to a temperature of 100 degrees or less, and then the mold 1 is separated from the magnetic substrate 100. When the mold 1 is immediately separated from the magnetic substrate 100 by applying the pressure to the magnetic substrate 100 using the mold 1, the pattern groove 140 to be originally formed due to the heat remaining in the pattern groove 140 is formed It is necessary to separate the mold 1 from the magnetic substrate 100 after cooling to 100 degrees or less.

When the Sendust alloy metal powder is used as the magnetic substrate 100, the temperature and pressure to be applied depend on the arrangement and density of the powders. That is, higher temperature and pressure should be applied when the powder arrangement is not uniform, and lower temperature and pressure may be applied when the powder arrangement is uniform than when the powder arrangement is not uniform. Further, when the density of the powder is low, a lower temperature and pressure may be applied as compared with a case where the density is high. In addition, the temperature and the pressure applied depending on the components of the powder, that is, the alloy constituting the powder, may vary.

As such, the temperature applied depending on the arrangement, density, and components of the powder may be varied.

In one embodiment, instead of applying heat and pressure, the mold 1 may be irradiated with a laser to form a pattern groove in the magnetic substrate 100 to accommodate the inner antenna 200. [ The pattern grooves may be formed using an excimer laser that emits a laser beam having a wavelength in the ultraviolet region. As the excimer laser, a KrF excimer laser (krypton fluorine, center wavelength: 248 nm) or an ArF excimer laser (argon fluorine, central wavelength: 193 nm) can be used.

Next, referring to FIG. 30, FIG. 30 shows the state of the magnetic substrate 100 in which the pattern groove 140 is formed when the mold 1 is separated from the magnetic substrate 100.

31, the inner antenna 200 is inserted into the pattern groove 140 formed in the magnetic substrate 100 in the state of FIG. When the inner antenna 200 is inserted, a constant conductive pattern is formed in the pattern groove 140 of the magnetic substrate 100.

The process of inserting the inner antenna 200 into the pattern groove 140 of the magnetic substrate 100 includes a method of inserting an etched metal so as to have a conductive pattern formed by the inner or outer antenna 200 Can be used.

Specifically, the inner antenna 200 may be formed by plating the pattern groove 140 with a metal material. The metal material may be any one selected from among Cu, Ag, Sn, Au, Ni, and Pd. The metal material may be filled by electroless plating, electroplating, screen printing, sputtering ), Evaporation (Ecaporation), inkjetting, and dispensing, or a combination thereof may be used.

32, soldering is performed so that the inner antenna 200 and the contact portion 300 are connected to each other.

That is, the outer terminal 210 of the inner antenna 200 and the first connection terminal 311 of the contact portion 300 are connected by the solder 10 and the second connection terminal 200 of the inner antenna 200 And the second connection terminal 312 of the contact portion 300 is connected by the solder 20.

The method of manufacturing the antenna assembly 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes forming the pattern groove in the magnetic substrate 100 and disposing the inner antenna 200 in the formed pattern groove, The antenna assembly 1000 can be manufactured only through the process of forming the pattern grooves and the process of inserting the coil part, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process.

FIG. 33 is a view for explaining changes in inductance, resistance and Q value of the coil part according to the frequency of use when the coil part is arranged on the top surface of the magnetic substrate according to still another embodiment of the present invention, Resistance and Q value of the inner antenna 200 according to the frequency of use when the coil portion is disposed in the pattern groove in the magnetic substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The relational expression of the inductance, resistance and Q value of the inner antenna 200 can be expressed by the following equation (1).

 [Equation 1]

Q = w * L / R

 In Equation (1), w denotes a frequency used in power transmission, L denotes an inductance of the inner antenna 200, and R denotes a resistance of the inner antenna 200.

 As shown in Equation (1), the inductance of the inner antenna 200 increases as Q increases. As the Q value increases, the power transmission efficiency can be improved. The resistance of the inner antenna 200 is a numerical value of the amount of power loss generated in the inner antenna 200 itself, and the Q value increases as the value decreases.

33 and FIG. 34, compared with the case where the inner antenna 200 is disposed on the magnetic substrate 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention, When the inner antenna 200 is arranged in the pattern groove 140 in the magnetic substrate 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the inductance of the inner antenna 200 is about 3533.42 um at about 9986.92 um to about 10339.34 um And the resistance of the inner antenna 200 is about 0.853 ohms at about 0.910 ohms, which is reduced by 0.057 ohms. As a result, the Q value increases by an amount of increase in inductance and a decrease in resistance.

Therefore, the antenna assembly 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention can increase the Q value by disposing the inner antenna 200 in the pattern groove in the magnetic substrate 100. [

FIG. 35 is an H-field for showing a radiation pattern of a magnetic field when a coil part is arranged on the top surface of a magnetic substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. Field is an H-field for showing a radiation pattern of a magnetic field when a coil part is arranged in an inner pattern groove.

35 and 36, in the case where the inner antenna 200 is disposed in the pattern groove in the magnetic substrate 100, the inner antenna 200 is arranged in the pattern groove inside the magnetic substrate 100, It can be confirmed that the magnetic field is radiated from the outside of the magnetoresistive element. This is because the direction of the magnetic field directed to the outside is changed to the side of the inner antenna 200 by the structure in which the inner antenna 200 is embedded in the magnetic substrate 100.

In the case where the inner antenna 200 is disposed in the pattern groove in the magnetic substrate 100 as compared with the case where the inner antenna 200 is disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic substrate 100, The more radiated it is. This is because the direction of the magnetic field directed to the outside is changed to the side of the inner antenna 200 by the structure in which the inner antenna 200 is embedded in the magnetic substrate 100.

Referring to FIGS. 35 and 36, the antenna assembly 1000 may further include an outer antenna 600.

The outer antenna 600 can perform communication with a reader capable of short-range wireless communication. The outer antenna 600 serves as an antenna for transmitting and receiving information to and from the reader.

In one embodiment, the outer antenna 600 may be located at the outer periphery of the inner antenna 200. [ When the inner antenna 200 is disposed at the center of the magnetic substrate 100, the outer antenna 600 may be disposed along the outer periphery of the magnetic substrate 100 so as to surround the inner antenna 200. The outer antenna 600 may have a quadrangular structure in which one conductor is wound a plurality of times, but it is not limited thereto.

The outer antenna 600 may form a conductive pattern or a conductive layer like the inner antenna 200.

Various techniques can be used for the local communication standard used in the outer antenna 600, but it is preferable to use NFC (Near Field Communication).

First, referring to FIG. 37, the magnetic substrate 100 can change the direction of the magnetic field transmitted from the transmitting side.

The magnetic substrate 100 may change the direction of the magnetic field transmitted from the transmitting side to the inner antenna 200 to reduce the amount of the magnetic field that can leak to the outside. Thereby, a shielding effect can be obtained.

The magnetic substrate 100 changes the direction of the magnetic field transmitted from the transmission side to the lateral direction so that the magnetic field can be transmitted more intensively to the inner antenna 200. [

The magnetic substrate 100 may absorb the magnetic field leaking out of the magnetic field transmitted from the transmitting side to the inner antenna 200 and emit it as heat. If the amount of the magnetic field leaking outside is reduced, a situation that may have harmful effects on the human body can be prevented.

Referring to FIG. 39, the magnetic substrate 100 may include a magnetic body 110 and a support 120.

The contact portion 300 may have the same shape as the shape of the receiving space 130 and may be disposed in the receiving space 130. The total thickness of the antenna assembly 1000 can be greatly reduced by the thickness of the contact portion 300 as the contact portion 300 is disposed in the accommodation space 130 of the magnetic substrate 100. [ Therefore, the thickness of an electronic device such as a portable terminal on which the antenna assembly 1000 is mounted can be greatly reduced.

In one embodiment, the contact portion 300 may be a flexible printed circuit (FPCB), a tape substrate (TS), or a lead frame (LF).

[ 38, when the inner antenna 200 is disposed on the magnetic substrate 100, the outer antenna 600 may be disposed along the outer periphery of the magnetic substrate 100 so as to surround the inner antenna 200 . The outer antenna 600 may have a rectangular shape in which one conductor is wound a plurality of times, but it need not be limited thereto.

The conductor 201 may have various thicknesses depending on the specifications of the required product. In one embodiment, the thickness of the conductor 201 may be 100 um, but this is only an example.

The adhesive layer 700 is for enhancing the adhesive force between the conductive material 201 and the protective film 800, and may be a thermosetting resin, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, the thickness of the adhesive layer 700 may be 17 um, but this is only an example.

Specifically, the protective film 800 can protect the conductor 201 to support the conductor 201 in an etching process to be described later to form a constant conductive pattern.

In one embodiment, the protective film 800 may be formed of a polyimide film (PI Flim: Polyimide Film), but is not limited thereto.

The laminating process is a process of bonding materials of different materials by applying a predetermined heat and pressure.

Next, as shown in Fig. 42, the photosensitive film 900 is attached to the upper surface of the conductor 201. Then, as shown in Fig. The photosensitive film is used to etch the conductor 201 to form a constant conductive pattern, and a UV exposure type or LDI exposure type film may be used. In another embodiment, a photosensitive coating liquid may be applied to the upper surface of the conductor 201 instead of the photosensitive film 900. [

Next, as shown in FIG. 43, the photosensitive film 900 is exposed and developed to form a mask pattern 910. Next, as shown in FIG.

The mask pattern 910 may be formed on the upper surface of the position where a certain conductive pattern is to be formed through the exposure and development processes.

The exposure means separating a portion where a conductive pattern is to be formed and a portion not to be formed to irradiate the photosensitive film 900 with light. That is, the exposure is a step of irradiating light to a portion where a conductive pattern is not formed. The development means a step of removing a portion irradiated with light by exposure.

[

47, the magnetic substrate 100 may be stacked on the conductive patterns located on portions other than the area occupied by the contact portion 300, that is, on the inner coil 230 and the upper surface of the outer antenna 600. [

The magnetic substrate 100 having the accommodating space corresponding to the contact portion 300 can be obtained. The receiving space of the magnetic substrate 100 may be formed to conform to the shape of the contact portion 300.

37, as the contact portion 300 is disposed in the accommodation space 130 of the magnetic substrate 100, the entire thickness of the antenna assembly 1000 is greatly reduced by the thickness of the contact portion 300, . Therefore, the thickness of an electronic device such as a portable terminal on which the antenna assembly 1000 is mounted can be greatly reduced.

At this time, the inner coil 230 and the outer antenna 600 and the magnetic substrate 100 can be attached by the first double-sided adhesive layer 710. In one embodiment, the thickness of the magnetic substrate 100 may range from 100 um to 800 um, but is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the thickness of the first double-sided adhesive layer 710 may range from 10 um to 50 um, but is not limited thereto.

[ The lower left inner angle A7 of the cross section of the outer coil 630 is smaller than the lower right side inner angle A8 of the cross section of the outer coil 630. [

Since the Q value of a well-etched antenna is greater than the Q value of an under-etched or over-etched antenna, the Q value of a well-etched antenna is insufficient Is better than the performance of an under-etched or over-etched antenna. Therefore, when the maximum value among the angles of the four internal angles of the cross section of the under-etched or over-etched antenna pattern is set to 95 degrees or less and the minimum value among the angles of the four internal angles is set to 85 degrees or more, Can be expected.

49 is described again.

Thereafter, when the mask 83 is removed (S109), the inner antenna 200 and the outer antenna 600 of the antenna assembly 1000 are formed.

On the other hand, the contact portion 300 is formed (S111).

In one embodiment, when the substrate 400 and the substrate 330 of the contact portion 300 are integrally formed, the inner antenna (not shown) of the antenna assembly 1000 is formed by the steps S103, S105, S107, and S111 described above 200, the outer antenna 600, and the contact portion 300 may be simultaneously formed.

The patterns of the contact portion 300 may be formed on the inner antenna 200 and the outer antenna 300 of the antenna assembly 1000. In this case, 600 may be formed by a separate process.

Thereafter, a connecting portion 500 is formed (S113). A method of forming the connection portion 500 according to various embodiments will be described later.

The adhesive layer 700 is formed on the substrate 400 on which the contact portion 300 and the connection portion 500 are formed (S115).

The magnetic substrate 100 is formed on the adhesive layer 700 (S117).

Next, the distance between the magnetic substrate 100 separated by the adhesive layer 700 and the antenna patterns will be described with reference to FIGS. 50 and 51. FIG.

50 and 51, the inner coil 230 of the inner antenna 200 has the line width W1 and the inter-line spacing S1, and the inner coil 230 is bonded to the magnetic substrate 100 ) And the separation distance Ha1. The external coil 630 of the external antenna 600 has a line width W2 and a line spacing S2 and the external coil 630 is spaced apart from the magnetic substrate 100 by a distance Ha2 by the adhesive layer 700 do. The adhesive layer used for separating the inner coil 230 from the magnetic substrate 100 and the adhesive layer used for separating the outer coil 630 from the magnetic substrate 100 are the same and the separation distance Ha1 is the separation distance Ha2).

Table 1 shows the case where the external antenna 600 is an NFC antenna and the line width W2 of the external antenna 600 is 400um and the line spacing S2 of the external antenna 600 is 200um, The NFC communication performance of the external antenna 600 according to the distance Ha2 between the magnetic substrate 100 and the external antenna 600 is shown as a result of the EMVCo Load modulation test.

In Table 1, (x, y, z) represents the relative positional relationship between the test equipment and the antenna assembly 1000. In particular, the x value in (x, y, z) represents the distance between the test equipment and the antenna assembly 1000.

In Table 1, A < X < B indicates a range of performance values for passing the test. For example, in the relative position relationship (0, 0, 0), the performance value of the antenna must be greater than 8.8 mV and less than 80 mV for the test pass. The resonance frequency is 15.79 MHz and the antenna performance of the external antenna 600 is 29.15 mv. Therefore, when the external antenna 600 having a line width of 400 um, a line spacing of 200 um, and a spacing distance of 30 um is used ) Can be concluded to be appropriate.

However, at the relative position relationship (3, 0, 0), the performance value of the antenna must be greater than 4.0 mV and less than 80 mV for the test pass. The resonance frequency is 15.79 MHz and the antenna performance of the external antenna 600 is 3.8 mv. Therefore, when the external antenna 600 having a line width of 400 um, a line spacing of 200 um, and a spacing distance of 30 um is used ) Can be concluded not to be appropriate.

Table 2 shows the case where the external antenna 600 is an NFC antenna and the line width W2 of the external antenna 600 is 500 mu and the line spacing S2 of the external antenna 600 is 500 mu m, The NFC communication performance of the external antenna 600 according to the distance Ha2 between the magnetic substrate 100 and the external antenna 600 is shown as a result of the EMVCo Load modulation test.

As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the increase in the line width and the increase in the line-to-line spacing lead to a decrease in the resistance component, leading to an increase in the Q value and the performance of the external antenna 600 can be improved.

In particular, from Table 1 and Table 2, when the line width of the external antenna 600 is smaller than 400um and smaller than 200um of the external antenna 600, the performance of the external antenna 600 is affected by the distance Ha2 Of the total. When the line width of the external antenna 600 is smaller than 400um and smaller than the line-to-line spacing 200um of the external antenna 600, it is preferable that the separation distance Ha2 is 35um or more in consideration of the margin.

As described above, the performance of the external antenna 600 can be expected to be improved by using the adhesive layer 700 having a thickness of 10um or more, which is a general adhesive layer thickness.

Table 3 shows that the external antenna 600 is an NFC antenna and the line width W2 of the external antenna 600 is 400um and the line spacing S2 of the external antenna 600 is 200um, Of the external antenna 600 according to the distance Ha2 between the magnetic substrate 100 and the external antenna 600 separated by the adhesive layer 700 when the relative positional relationship between the external antenna 600 and the external antenna 600 is (3, 0, 0) NFC communication performance is shown as a result of the EMVCo Load modulation test.

It can be seen from Table 3 that EMVCo Load modulation test of the external antenna 600 can not be passed if the separation distance Ha2 is smaller than 30 mu m when the line width W2 is 400 m and the inter- . Therefore, it is preferable that the separation distance Ha2 is larger than 30 mu m.

It can be seen that the EMVCo Load modulation test of the external antenna 600 can not be passed if the line width W2 is 400um and the line interval S2 is 200um and the separation distance Ha2 is larger than 70um. Therefore, it is preferable that the separation distance Ha2 is smaller than 70 mu m.

It can be seen that the EMVCo Load modulation test of the external antenna 600 is passed if the separation distance Ha2 is larger than 40um and smaller than 60um when the line width W2 is 400um and the line spacing S2 is 200um . Therefore, the separation distance Ha2 may be greater than 40 um, preferably smaller than 60 um.

Table 4 shows test results of the test equipment and the antenna assembly 1000 when the external antenna 600 is an NFC antenna, the line width W2 of the external antenna 600 is 500 占 퐉, the line spacing S2 of the external antenna 600 is 500 占 퐉, Of the external antenna 600 according to the distance Ha2 between the magnetic substrate 100 and the external antenna 600 separated by the adhesive layer 700 when the relative positional relationship between the external antenna 600 and the external antenna 600 is (3, 0, 0) NFC communication performance is shown as a result of the EMVCo Load modulation test.

It can be seen that the EMVCo Load modulation test of the external antenna 600 can not be passed if the line width W2 is 500 μm and the line interval S2 is 500 μm and the separation distance Ha2 is less than 20 μm. Therefore, it is preferable that the separation distance Ha2 is larger than 20 mu m.

It can be seen that the EMVCo Load modulation test of the external antenna 600 can not be passed if the line width W2 is 500 μm and the line interval S2 is 500 μm and the separation distance Ha2 is larger than 70 μm. Therefore, it is preferable that the separation distance Ha2 is smaller than 70 mu m.

It can be seen that the EMVCo Load modulation test of the external antenna 600 is passed if the separation distance Ha2 is greater than 30 um and less than 60 um when the line width W2 is 500 um and the line spacing S2 is 500 um . Therefore, the separation distance Ha2 may be larger than 30 mu m and smaller than 60 mu m.

From Table 3 and Table 4, it can be seen that if the separation distance Ha2 is greater than 35 um and less than 65 um, then both of the above tests pass. This means that it is easy to set the resonance frequency within the range of 16.2 to 16.3 MHz, which is the target frequency, when the distance Ha2 is greater than 35 um and smaller than 65 um. That is, if the separation distance Ha2 is smaller than the predetermined value, it means that the impedance matching is not easy.

Particularly, FIG. 53 relates to a manufacturing method of the connection part 500 of the antenna assembly according to FIGS.

In one embodiment, the insulating layer 531 may be an insulating sheet. The insulating sheet may be attached to an upper portion of the substrate 400 on which the inner antenna 200 and the outer antenna 600 are formed by an adhesive layer or a laminating process.

In yet another embodiment, the insulating layer 531 may be an insulating ink dried after application. In this case, a mask for forming the insulating layer 531 is attached to the upper portion of the substrate 400 on which the inner antenna 200 and the outer antenna 600 are formed. Here, the mask for forming the insulating layer 531 may include at least one of the inner terminal 220 of the inner antenna 200, the outer terminal 210 of the inner antenna 200, the inner terminal 610 of the outer antenna 600, And does not cover the portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the first sub connection portion 501 is formed but does not cover the portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the second sub connection portion 502 is formed, So that the portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the third sub connection portion 503 is formed is not covered. The mask for forming the insulating layer 531 covers at least a part of the outer terminal 620 of the outer antenna 600 and the fourth sub connection portion 504 The conductive bridge 520 may be formed in a shape that does not cover the portion where the conductive bridge 520 is formed. The insulating layer 531 may be formed by insulating ink by applying an insulating ink to an upper portion of the substrate 400 on which the mask for forming the insulating layer 531 is formed and drying the mask to remove the mask.

Then, a mask for forming the conductive bridge 520 is attached to the upper portion of the substrate 400 on which the insulating layer 531 is formed (S303). The mask for forming the conductive bridge 520 includes a portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the first sub connecting portion 501 is formed and a portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the second sub connecting portion 502 is formed The portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the third sub connection portion 503 is formed and the portion where the conductive bridge 520 corresponding to the fourth sub connection portion 504 is formed are not covered, Can be covered.

The conductive paste is printed a predetermined number of times on the substrate 400 on which the mask for forming the conductive bridge 520 is formed (S305) to form the first sub-bridge 521. [

Table 5 below shows the performance of the conductive bridge according to the number of times of printing of the conductive paste.

Number of prints L (uH) R (ohms) Q DCR (ohm) One 7.607 1.699 2.833 1.717 3 7.608 1.291 3.706 1.320 5 7.588 1.245 4.102 1.250 6 7.613 1.153 4.277 1.067

54 is a graph showing the performance of the conductive bridge according to the number of times of printing of the conductive paste according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 54, as the number of times of printing of the conductive paste increases, the resistance value of the conductive bridge decreases , And the Q value increases.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 54, when the number of times of printing of the conductive paste is less than 3 times, the decrease of the resistance value or the increase of the Q value with the increase of the number of printing of the conductive paste is abrupt. When the number of times of printing of the conductive paste is larger than 3, the decrease of the resistance value or the increase of the Q value with the increase of the number of printing of the conductive paste is gentle.

In order to improve the performance of the antennas in the antenna assembly, the conductive bridge may have a thickness corresponding to the printing of three or more conductive pastes.

In particular, an increase in the number of times of printing of the conductive paste means an increase in the complexity of the manufacturing process of the antenna assembly 1000, so that the conductive bridge can have a thickness corresponding to the printing of three conductive pastes.

Further, in the case where the conductive bridge includes the second sub-bridge 522 formed by plating, an additional resistance value reduction by the second sub-bridge 522 is expected, so that the conductive bridge is formed of one or more conductive pastes It may have a thickness corresponding to printing.
