Description
- The present invention relates to a common-mode choke coil, a method for producing the same, and a common-mode choke coil array. Particularly it relates to a filter used for suppressing a common-mode current as a cause of electromagnetic interference becoming an issue in a balanced transmission system, and a method for producing the filter.
- A laminated type choke coil is heretofore known as a chip common-mode choke coil. This component has a structure in which a first coil magnetic sheet having a coil conductor pattern formed on a surface of a sheet of magnetic substance such as ferrite to form a first coil and a second coil magnetic sheet formed in the same manner as the first coil magnetic sheet are laminated alternately.
- A common-mode choke coil described in Patent Document JP-A-8-203737 is known as a choke coil produced by a thin-film process. This component has a structure in which: a lead-out electrode is formed on a magnetic substrate by a thin-film process; an electrically insulating layer, a first coil conductor, an electrically insulating layer, a second coil conductor and an electrically insulating layer are then formed successively thereon by a thin-film process; and another magnetic substrate is put on an upper surface of the resulting laminate.
- Patent Document JP-A-11-54326 has described a common-mode choke coil produced by a thin-film process. In this document, central and outer circumferential portions of each electrically insulating layer produced by the thin-film process are etched (developed) in order to improve the degree of magnetic coupling between coils and increase common impedance. The upper magnetic substrate is bonded by a resin as a mixture of an electrically insulating material and magnetic powder to thereby form a closed magnetic circuit structure.
- In the background-art laminated type choke coil, the sheet of magnetic substance is interposed between the first and second coil conductors. When this choke coil is used as a common-mode choke coil, magnetic coupling between two coils is lowered. This becomes a characteristic issue.
- In the common-mode choke coil produced by the thin-film process described in Patent Document JP-A-8-203737, the first and second coil conductors are sandwiched between the upper and lower magnetic substrates. Because this structure cannot be provided as a closed magnetic circuit structure, there is a problem in the degree of magnetic coupling and common impedance (it is difficult to improve the degree of magnetic coupling and common impedance).
- In the thin-film process described in Patent Document JP-A-11-54326, the aforementioned problem is solved because the closed magnetic circuit structure is formed. The magnetic power-containing resin is however low in adhesive property. There is a problem in adhesion of the magnetic substrate.
- As measures to solve this problem, it is possible to bond the magnetic substrate by an adhesive agent after the magnetic powder-containing resin is applied on the magnetic substrate-bonding side of an electrically insulating layer with a built-in coil conductor and cured. The magnetic powder-containing resin is however shrunk when cured. Because the magnetic powder-containing resin embedded in the etching portion (the place where the central and outer circumferential portions of the electrically insulating layer are etched to form a closed magnetic circuit structure) of the electrically insulating layer is shrunk, only the adhesive layer (non-magnetic) as the upper portion of the electrically insulating layer is thickened. Accordingly, it is impossible to obtain a sufficient effect in increasing common impedance.
- In the latest balanced transmission line, it is however necessary to perform high-speed transmission of a transmission signal with a frequency of the order of GHz. The thin-film type common-mode choke coil cannot meet such high-speed transmission.
- Measures to meet high-speed transmission are suggested as follows.
- Firstly, matching of characteristic impedance is suggested. The fact that matching is important is a commonly known fact on a transmission circuit.
- Secondly, greater improvement in magnetic coupling is suggested. This improvement is however structurally limited.
- Thirdly, reduction in capacitance between conductors is suggested. If the space between the conductors is merely increased in order to reduce such capacitance, increase in size cannot be avoided.
- Upon such circumstances, an object of the invention is to provide a common-mode choke coil, a method for producing the same, and a common-mode choke coil array in which the degree of magnetic coupling substantially equal to that of a closed magnetic circuit and high common impedance can be obtained while adhesion of a magnetic substrate can be improved.
- Upon such circumstances, an object of the invention is to provide a micro-size thin-film type common-mode choke coil and a common-mode choke coil array in which high-speed transmission of a transmission signal with a frequency of the order of GHz can be performed.
- In order to attain the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, a common-mode choke coil comprises a first magnetic substrate, electrically insulating layers and coil patterns formed alternately on said first magnetic substrate, and a second magnetic substrate for covering an uppermost one of said electrically insulating layers, wherein central regions of said electrically insulating layers surrounded by said coil patterns and portions of said electrically insulating layers corresponding to outer circumferential regions of said coil patterns are removed; a magnetic powder-containing resin is provided on said uppermost one of said electrically insulating layers and embedded in said removed portions of said electrically insulating layers; and said second magnetic substrate is bonded to a flattened surface of said magnetic powder-containing resin by an adhesive layer.
- A method of producing a common-mode choke coil, comprises the steps of: forming electrically insulating layers and coil patterns alternately on a first magnetic substrate (film-forming step); removing central regions of said electrically insulating layers surrounded by said coil patterns and portions of said electrically insulating layers corresponding to outer circumferential regions of said coil patterns (etching step); applying a magnetic power-containing resin onto an uppermost one of said electrically insulating layers and embedding said magnetic power-containing resin in removed portions of said electrically insulating layers (coating step); polishing a surface of said magnetic powder-containing resin after curing said magnetic powder-containing resin to flatten said surface (polishing step); and bonding a second magnetic substrate onto said flattened surface of said magnetic powder-containing resin by an adhesive agent (bonding step).
- Furthermore, a thin-film type common-mode choke coil comprises: a laminated structure having a magnetic substrate, and electrically insulating layers and conductor layers laminated on said magnetic substrate in a direction of thickness, wherein: said conductor layers form at least two coil conductors; at least two of said conductor layers are provided as spiral conductor patterns; and said spiral conductor patterns satisfy the expression:
- 5 μm≦W1≦36 μm
- in which W1 is the conductor width of each of said spiral conductor patterns.
- Preferably, the spiral conductor patterns satisfy the expression: W2<T*2
- in which W2 is the space between said spiral conductor patterns, and T is the conductor thickness of each of said spiral conductor patterns.

- (First Embodiment)
- Embodiments of the invention as to a common-mode choke coil, a method for producing the same and a common-mode choke coil array will be described below with reference to the drawings.
- FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2A to2C show an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the case where a chip common-mode choke coil is formed. FIGS. 2A to 2C are explanatory views showing a process for producing the common-mode choke coil. Although a plurality of components are produced simultaneously on a substrate at the time of actual production, this embodiment will be described on the case where a single device is formed.
- As shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2A to2C, the chip common-mode choke coil has: a first
magnetic substrate 1; and an electrically insulatinglayer 2, a first lead-outelectrode layer 3, an electrically insulatinglayer 4, a first coil conductor layer (spiral coil conductor pattern) 5, an electrically insulatinglayer 6, a second coil conductor layer (spiral coil conductor pattern) 7, an electrically insulatinglayer 8, a second lead-outelectrode layer 9, an electrically insulatinglayer 10, amagnetic layer 11, anadhesive layer 12 and a secondmagnetic substrate 13 laminated successively on a principal surface of the firstmagnetic substrate 1 so as to be integrated into one body. - On this occasion, the first lead-out
electrode layer 3 and the firstcoil conductor layer 5 are electrically connected to each other through a through-hole whereas the second lead-outelectrode layer 9 and the secondcoil conductor layer 7 are electrically connected to each other through a through-hole. One end of each lead-out electrode layer and one end of each coil conductor layer are connected to external electrodes (formed on an outer circumferential surface of the chip) respectively. - The
magnetic layer 11 is formed in such a manner that a magnetic powder-containing resin is applied and cured. After cured, the magnetic powder-containing resin is polished to reduce surface roughness. The secondmagnetic substrate 13 is integrally bonded to the flattened surface of themagnetic layer 11 through theadhesive layer 12. - Each of the
magnetic substrates layers magnetic layer 11 is a mixture of a resin such as an epoxy resin and magnetic powder such as ferrite powder. - The chip common-mode choke coil is produced by the following procedure. Incidentally, the procedure is based on the case where the lead-out
electrode layers - The electrically insulating
layer 2 made of an electrically insulating resin is formed on themagnetic substrate 1. A spin coating method, a dip coating method, a spray coating method or a printing method is used as the method for forming the electrically insulatinglayer 2. Then, the electrically insulatinglayer 2 is etched (developed) to remove a central region which will be surrounded by a spiral coil conductor pattern and outer circumferential regions which will become the outside of the spiral coil conductor pattern. - A film of a metal is formed on the electrically insulating
layer 2 by a vacuum film-forming method or a plating method. It is preferable from the point of view of electrical conductivity and processability that Cu, Al or the like is used as the metal. Then, a pattern is formed to thereby form the lead-outelectrode layer 3. The patterning is performed by a method such as an etching method using photolithography or an additive method (plating) using photolithography. - Then, the electrically insulating
layer 4 made of an electrically insulating resin is formed in the same manner as the electrically insulatinglayer 2. On this occasion, a contact hole for connecting the lead-outelectrode layer 3 and thecoil conductor layer 5 to each other are formed while regions corresponding to central and outer circumferential portions of the coil conductor pattern (which will be formed) are etched. - Then, the first
coil conductor layer 5 as a spiral coil conductor pattern is formed. The method for forming the firstcoil conductor layer 5 is the same as the method for forming the lead-outelectrode layer 3. - Then, the electrically insulating
layer 6 made of an electrically insulating resin is formed. The method for forming the electrically insulatinglayer 6 is the same as the method for forming the electrically insulatinglayer 2. - Then, the second
coil conductor layer 7 as a spiral coil conductor pattern, the electrically insulating layer 8 (electrically insulating resin), the lead-outelectrode layer 9 and the electrically insulating layer 10 (electrically insulating resin) are formed successively in the same manner as described above. - When the film-forming process for forming electrically insulating layers each made of an electrically insulating resin and conductor layers containing spiral coil conductor patterns alternately on the first
magnetic substrate 1 and the etching process for removing the central regions of the respective electrically insulating layers surrounded by the coil conductor patterns and the outer circumferential regions of the respective electrically insulating layers corresponding to the outside of the coil conductor patterns are performed as described above, a laminate 20 including coil conductor patterns on the firstmagnetic substrate 1 is obtained as shown in FIG. 2A. A resin removal portion 21 (recess) and resin removal portions 22 (cut portions) in which the electrically insulating layers are removed are formed in the central and outer circumferential regions of the laminate 20. - Then, a magnetic powder-containing resin (which serves as a magnetic layer when cured)11 is printed on the upper surface of the electrically insulating layer 10 (the upper surface of the laminate 20 in FIGS. 2A to 2C) by a coating process shown in FIG. 2B. Then, the magnetic powder-containing
resin 11 is cured. At the time of printing, the magnetic powder-containingresin 11 is applied so as to be embedded in theresin removal portions resin 11 is however shrunk, so that the surface of the magnetic powder-containingresin 11 is roughened (dented in places of theresin removal portions 21 and 22). To reduce surface roughness as sufficiently as possible, it is preferable that the thickness t of the magnetic powder-containingresin 11 provided by the coating process is set to be not smaller than 1.5 times as large as the depth d of theresin removal portions - Then, the upper surface of the magnetic powder-containing
resin 11 is polished up to the height of the chain line P as shown in FIG. 2B to thereby perform a flattening process (to reduce surface roughness). - Then, in a bonding process shown in FIG. 2C, an adhesive agent is applied on the
magnetic layer 11 which is formed by polishing and flattening the whole upper surface of the magnetic powder-containing resin after curing. The secondmagnetic substrate 13 is bonded to themagnetic layer 11 through theadhesive layer 12 provided in this manner. - Although description has been made on the case where one device is formed, a plurality of devices are produced simultaneously on a substrate in actual production. The product on the substrate is cut into one-device chips. Then, external electrodes are formed on an outer surface of each chip. In this manner, each common-mode choke coil is completed.
- According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
- The second
magnetic substrate 13 can be bonded surely, so that structural reliability can be ensured. In addition, because the secondmagnetic substrate 13 is bonded after surface roughness of themagnetic layer 11 made of the magnetic powder-containing resin cured is flattened, the degree of magnetic coupling substantially equal to that of a closed magnetic circuit and high common impedance can be obtained. - Because the thickness t of the magnetic powder-containing resin provided by the coating process is set to be not smaller than 1.5 times as large as the depth d of the
resin removal portions magnetic layer 11 made of the magnetic powder-containing resin cured can be reduced so that the quantity of polishing in the flattening process can be reduced. - FIG. 3 shows the case where a common-mode choke coil array is produced according to another embodiment of the invention. In this case, two common-mode choke coils each equivalent to the common-mode choke coil according to the previous embodiment are arranged on a first
magnetic substrate 1 to thereby form the array. Parts equal or equivalent to parts in the previous embodiment are referred to by identical numerals for the sake of omission of duplicated description. - Although the embodiments of the invention have been described above, the invention is not limited thereto and it is self-evident to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications may be made without departing from the scope of claim.
- As described above, in accordance with the invention, there can be achieved a common-mode choke coil and a common-mode choke coil array in which the degree of magnetic coupling substantially equal to that of a closed magnetic circuit and high common impedance can be obtained while adhesion of the magnetic substrate can be improved.
- (Second Embodiment)
- Embodiments of the invention as to a thin-film type common-mode choke coil and a common-mode choke coil array will be described below with reference to the drawings.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show second embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the case where a thin-film type common-mode choke coil is formed. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of the common-mode choke coil. Although a plurality of components are produced simultaneously on a substrate at the time of actual production, this embodiment will be described on the case where a single device is formed.
- As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the thin-film type common-mode choke coil shaped like a chip in terms of external form has: a first
magnetic substrate 1; and an electrically insulatinglayer 2, a first lead-outelectrode layer 3, an electrically insulatinglayer 4, a first coil conductor layer (spiral coil conductor pattern) 5, an electrically insulatinglayer 6, a second coil conductor layer (spiral coil conductor pattern) 7, an electrically insulatinglayer 8, a second lead-outelectrode layer 9, an electrically insulatinglayer 10 and a secondmagnetic substrate 11 laminated successively on a principal surface of the firstmagnetic substrate 1 so as to be integrated into one body. The firstcoil conductor layer 5 and the secondcoil conductor layer 7 are arranged so as to be magnetically coupled with each other. When differential-mode currents flow in the twoconductor layers conductor layers conductor layers conductor layers - On this occasion, the first lead-out
electrode layer 3 and the firstcoil conductor layer 5 are electrically connected to each other through a through-hole 4 a whereas the second lead-outelectrode layer 9 and the secondcoil conductor layer 7 are electrically connected to each other through a through-hole 8 a. One end of each lead-out electrode layer and one end of each coil conductor layer are connected to external electrodes 15 (formed on an outer circumferential surface of the chip as shown in FIG. 5) respectively. - Each of the
magnetic substrates layers - The relation between the conductor width of the first and second coil conductor layers5 and 7 as spiral coil conductor patterns and the attenuation characteristic of a transmission signal is as shown in FIG. 6. In FIG. 6, the curve a shows frequency characteristic of differential-mode attenuation characteristic (dB) in the case where the conductor width, the conductor thickness and the space between the two conductors are 45 μm, 18 μm and 20 μm respectively, the curve b shows frequency characteristic of differential-mode attenuation characteristic (dB) in the case where the conductor width, the conductor thickness and the space between the two conductors are 36 μm, 18 μm and 13 μm respectively, and the curve c shows frequency characteristic of differential-mode attenuation characteristic (dB) in the case where the conductor width, the conductor thickness and the space between the two conductors are 12 μm, 18 μm and 12 μm respectively. The data transmission attenuation characteristic is improved as the width of the spiral conductors decreases. It is obvious from FIG. 6 that reducing the conductor width to a value not larger than 36 μm is effective in increasing the cutoff frequency (attenuation −3 dB) of the transmission signal to a value not lower than 2.4 GHz (800 MHz transmission×3). On the other hand, in view of stability of plating of the fine conductor pattern and the resolution of the resist layer, the conductor width should be larger than 5 μm. It can be therefore said that high-speed transmission is obtained effectively when the conductor width W1 of the first and second conductor layers 5 and 7 satisfies the following expression.
- 5 μm≦W1≦36 μm
- Reduction in conductor width on this occasion causes increase in DC resistance. It is therefore necessary to increase the conductor thickness in order to suppress the reduction in conductor width. As mentioned above, the conductor width W1 is necessitated to set within the
range 5 μm≦W1≦36 μm. Thickness T of the conductor is necessitated to satisfy the expression T≦5*W1 in view of the fabrication limitation. Further, in order to prevent the DC resistance from excessively increasing, a cross section T*W1 is set to be larger than 100 μm2. (100 μm2≦T*W1) In case the conductor thickness increases, side etching twice as large as the conductor thickness T is produced when a vacuum film-forming/etching process is used. It is actually difficult to thicken the conductors because the space between the conductors is not smaller than T×2 when the conductor thickness is increased. (It is necessary to increase the spiral area because the space between the conductors is widened). - This problem can be solved when the spiral coil conductor layers5 and 7 are formed by an electroplating method (additive method). The relation between the thickness of the spiral conductors and the space between the conductors can be set as follows. The thick spiral coil conductor layers 5 and 7 can be formed in a small space.
- W2<T×2
- The procedure for forming the spiral coil conductor layers5 and 7 satisfying the aforementioned condition by a plating method is as follows.
- As shown in FIG. 7A, an
undercoat conductor film 20 is formed on each of the electrically insulatinglayers undercoat conductor film 20 has a two-layered structure, which is manufactured by continuous sputtering. On this occasion, theundercoat conductor film 20 is preferably made of Cr/Cu (a combination of a lower layer of Cr and an upper layer of Cu) or Ti/Cu if consideration is given to adhesion to the resin of each of the electrically insulatinglayers - A photo resist21 is applied on the
undercoat conductor film 20. On this occasion, the photo resist 21 applied is preferably thicker than the spiral conductor which will be formed by electroplating. - Then, the resist21 is exposed to light while a photo mask having a pattern necessary for obtaining the spiral conductor pattern is used. The resist 21 is developed. In this manner, a resist pattern shown in FIG. 7B is formed. That is, the
undercoat conductor film 20 is revealed in accordance with the spiral shape. - Then, as shown in FIG. 7C, while the
undercoat conductor film 20 which has been already formed is used as an electrode, a thickeningconductor 22 is formed by electroplating. On this occasion, the pattern of the resist 21 serves as a dam, so that electroplating is performed spirally. - Then, as shown in FIG. 7D, the resist becoming unnecessary after electroplating is peeled. Further, as shown in FIG. 7E, the
undercoat conductor film 20 except the thickeningconductor 22 formed in the spiral plating portion is removed by etching. In this manner, the spiral coil conductor layers 5 and 7 are completed. - The electroplating metal used in the thickening conductor is preferably Cu if consideration is given to plating characteristic, cost, electrical conductivity, etc.
- It is effective that the thickening
conductor 22 of Cu formed by electroplating is further plated with Ni as shown in FIG. 7F if consideration is given to corrosion resistance and adhesion of a resin which will be applied on the thickeningconductor 22. - The procedure for producing the thin-film type common-mode choke coil will be described below with reference to FIG. 4. The electrically insulating
layer 2 is formed on the firstmagnetic substrate 1. A spin coating method, a dip coating method, a spray coating method or a printing method is used as the method for forming the electrically insulatinglayer 2. - Then, a film of a conductor is formed on the electrically insulating
layer 2 so that the first lead-outelectrode layer 3 is formed by photolithography. Sputtering, vapor deposition, plating or the like is used as the method for forming the conductor film. In the photolithography, a photo resist is used. After exposure and development, an unnecessary metal portion is etched and then the resist is peeled. - Then, the electrically insulating
layer 4 is formed. Although the electrically insulatinglayer 4 is formed in the same manner as the electrically insulatinglayer 2, photolithography is used for forming a through-hole 4 a by development so that the lead-outelectrode layer 3 and the spirally shaped firstcoil conductor layer 5 can be connected to each other. The lead-outelectrode layer 3 and the firstcoil conductor layer 5 are electrically connected to each other by the through-hole 4 a. - Then, the spirally shaped first
coil conductor layer 5 is formed and patterned by an electroplating method (additive method) as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7F. - Then, the electrically insulating
layer 6 is formed in the same manner as the electrically insulatinglayer 2. The spirally shaped secondcoil conductor layer 7 is formed and patterned on the electrically insulatinglayer 6 in the same manner as the firstcoil conductor layer 5. - Then, the electrically insulating
layer 8 is formed in the same manner as the electrically insulatinglayer 4. Photolithography is used for forming a through-hole 8 a by development so that the second lead-outelectrode layer 9 and the spirally shaped secondcoil conductor layer 7 can be connected to each other. - Then, the second lead-out
electrode layer 9 is formed in the same manner as the first lead-outelectrode layer 3. - Then, the electrically insulating
layer 10 is formed in the same manner as the electrically insulatinglayer 2. The secondmagnetic substrate 11 is bonded onto the electrically insulatinglayer 10. - Although description has been made on the case where one device is formed, a plurality of devices are produced simultaneously on a substrate in actual production. After the product on the substrate is cut into one-device chips,
external electrodes 15 are formed as shown in FIG. 5. In this manner, each common-mode choke coil is completed. - According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
- The conductor width (W1) of the first and second coil conductor layers5 and 7 as two spiral conductor patterns satisfies the following expression.
- 5 μm≦W1≦36 μm
- As is obvious from FIG. 6, the cutoff frequency of a transmission signal can be selected to be not lower than 2.4 GHz. The common-mode choke coil can meet high-speed transmission.
- When the thickening
conductor 22 is formed on theundercoat conductor film 20 by an electroplating method (additive method) shown in FIGS. 7A to 7F, the relation between the conductor thickness (T) of the spiral coil conductor layers 5 and 7 and the space (W2) between the conductors can be selected to satisfy the following expression. - W2<T×2
- The space between the conductors can be reduced to attain reduction in size (area) of the spiral shape.
- Because the
undercoat conductor film 20 is made of a combination of a lower layer of Cr and an upper layer of Cu or a combination of a lower layer of Ti and an upper layer of Cu, adhesion to the resin of each electrically insulating layer can be made good to be adapted to electroplating of the thickeningconductor 22 of Cu. - When each of the spiral coil conductor layers5 and 7 is plated with Ni, corrosion resistance and adhesion to the electrically insulating layer of the resin applied on the spiral coil conductor layer can be improved.
- FIG. 8 shows the case where a thin-film type common-mode choke coil array is produced according to another embodiment of the invention. In this case, two common-mode choke coils each equivalent to the common-mode choke coil according to the previous embodiment are arranged on a first
magnetic substrate 1 to thereby form the array. In this configuration, a 2010 type (2 mm long by 1 mm wide by 1 mm thick) common-mode choke coil arraycanbe achieved. Incidentally, parts equal or equivalent to parts in the previous embodiment are referred to by identical numerals for the sake of omission of duplicated description. - In each embodiment, the technique of bonding the second magnetic substrate may be replaced by a technique of providing a magnetic material such as a magnetic powder-containing resin by a coating method or the like to cover the common-mode choke coil with the magnetic material.
- Although the embodiments of the invention have been described above, the invention is not limited thereto and it is self-evident to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications may be made without departing from the scope of claim.
- As described above, in accordance with the invention, there can be achieved a micro-size thin-film type common-mode choke coil and a common-mode choke coil array in which a transmission signal with a frequency of the order of GHz can be transmitted at a high speed.
