 1.概要
 近年、携帯機器、家電、自動車、及び産業機器等の機器において、小型化、多機能化、高性能化、省電力化がますます進化し続けている。これらの機器に搭載される電子部品においても、より小型、薄型化、及び高性能の要求が求められている。
1. Overview In recent years, devices such as mobile devices, home appliances, automobiles, and industrial devices have continued to evolve toward miniaturization, multifunctionality, high performance, and power saving. Electronic components mounted in these devices are also required to be smaller, thinner, and have higher performance.
 その中でも核となる電源回路においては、DC-DCコンバータICの高速スイッチング化に伴い、使われるインダクタの低インダクタンス化が進むとともに、より小型、薄型化、低直流抵抗、大電流対応、及び高信頼性が求められている。 Among them, in the power supply circuit, which is the core, along with the high-speed switching of DC-DC converter ICs, the inductance of inductors used has been reduced, and the size and thickness have been reduced, low DC resistance, large current support, and high reliability. sex is required.
 特に直流重畳特性は、パワーインダクタ(電源回路用インダクタ)の性能を左右する特性の1つである。ここで、直流重畳特性とは、インダクタに流れる直流バイアス電流が増大するにつれて、インダクタンスが低下する性質のことである。直流重畳特性は、例えば、直流重畳許容電流値を指標として評価される。直流重畳特性は、直流重畳許容電流値が大きいほど良好である。ここで、直流重畳許容電流値とは、インダクタンスの初期値からの低下率が例えば20%となったときの電流値である。 In particular, DC superimposition characteristics are one of the characteristics that affect the performance of power inductors (inductors for power supply circuits). Here, the DC superimposition characteristic is the property that the inductance decreases as the DC bias current flowing through the inductor increases. The DC superimposition characteristics are evaluated using, for example, a DC superimposition allowable current value as an index. DC superimposition characteristics are better as the DC superimposition allowable current value is larger. Here, the allowable DC superposition current value is the current value when the rate of decrease from the initial value of the inductance reaches, for example, 20%.
 しかしながら、上述のように、特許文献1の樹脂組成物の直流重畳特性の良否については不明である。そのため、パワーインダクタ等への適用の可否についても不明である。 However, as described above, the quality of the DC superimposition characteristics of the resin composition of Patent Document 1 is unknown. Therefore, it is unclear whether it can be applied to power inductors or the like.
 そこで、本発明者らは、磁気損失を小さくするだけでなく、直流重畳特性も向上させるべく鋭意研究を続けた結果、以下のような磁性樹脂組成物を開発した。 Therefore, the present inventors have continued intensive research not only to reduce the magnetic loss but also to improve the DC superimposition characteristics, and as a result, have developed the following magnetic resin composition.
 すなわち、本実施形態に係る磁性樹脂組成物は、磁性粉末と、熱硬化性樹脂と、硬化剤と、を含有する。磁性粉末が、50%体積平均粒子径(D50)が4.0μm以下のカルボニル鉄粉を含む。なお、本発明者らは、開発を進める中で、鉄系アモルファス合金のみでは、直流重畳特性の向上が難しいとの知見も得た。 That is, the magnetic resin composition according to this embodiment contains magnetic powder, a thermosetting resin, and a curing agent. The magnetic powder contains carbonyl iron powder with a 50% volume average particle size (D50) of 4.0 μm or less. In addition, the inventors of the present invention also obtained the knowledge that it is difficult to improve the DC superimposition characteristics only with an iron-based amorphous alloy during the development.
 このように、本発明者らが見出したところによれば、磁性粉末がカルボニル鉄粉を含むことで、直流重畳特性を向上させることができる。さらにカルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)が4.0μm以下であることで、磁気損失を小さくすることができる。 Thus, according to the present inventors, the inclusion of the carbonyl iron powder in the magnetic powder can improve the DC bias characteristics. Further, the 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder is 4.0 μm or less, so that the magnetic loss can be reduced.
 なお、以下において、「比透磁率」とは、複素比透磁率(μ)の実数部(μ’)を意味する。ここで、複素比透磁率(μ)は、μ=μ/μの式で表される(μ:複素透磁率、μ:真空の透磁率)。複素透磁率(μ)は、μ=μ’-iμ”の式で表される(μ’:実数部、μ”:虚数部、i:虚数単位)。複素比透磁率(μ)の実数部(μ’)は、μ’=μ’/μの式で表される。複素比透磁率(μ)の虚数部(μ”)は、μ”=μ”/μの式で表される。 In the following description, "relative permeability" means the real part (μ r ′) of the complex relative permeability (μ r ) . Here, the complex relative magnetic permeability (μ r ) is represented by the formula μ r =μ/μ 0 (μ: complex magnetic permeability, μ 0 : vacuum magnetic permeability). The complex permeability (μ) is represented by the formula μ=μ′−iμ″ (μ′: real part, μ″: imaginary part, i: imaginary unit). The real part (μ r ') of the complex relative permeability (μ r ) is represented by the formula μ r '=μ'/μ 0 . The imaginary part (μ r ″) of the complex relative permeability (μ r ) is represented by the formula μ r ″=μ″/μ 0 .
 また「磁気損失」とは、損失係数(tanδ)を意味する。損失係数(tanδ)は、tanδ=μ”/μ’=μ”/μ’の式で表される。複素比透磁率(μ)の関係式をまとめると以下のとおりである。 Also, "magnetic loss" means a loss coefficient (tan δ). The loss factor (tan δ) is expressed by the formula tan δ=μ r ″/μ r '=μ″/μ′. The relational expression of the complex relative permeability (μ r ) is summarized below.

 カルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)は、好ましくは0.01μm以上、より好ましくは0.5μm以上である。なお、「50%体積平均粒子径(D50)」とは、レーザ散乱・回折法に基づく粒度分布測定装置に基づいて測定した粒度分布における積算値50%での粒径(D50)を意味する。 The 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder is preferably 0.01 μm or more, more preferably 0.5 μm or more. The term "50% volume average particle size (D50)" means the particle size (D50) at an integrated value of 50% in a particle size distribution measured based on a particle size distribution analyzer based on a laser scattering/diffraction method.
 本実施形態では、カルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)は4.0μm以下である。カルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)が4.0μmを超えると、磁気損失が大きくなるおそれがある。カルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)は、好ましくは3.0μm以下である。 In this embodiment, the 50% volume average particle size (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder is 4.0 μm or less. If the 50% volume average particle size (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder exceeds 4.0 μm, magnetic loss may increase. The 50% volume average particle size (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder is preferably 3.0 µm or less.
 上記のように、本実施形態では、磁性粉末がカルボニル鉄粉を含むことで、直流重畳特性を向上させることができる。さらにカルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)が4.0μm以下であることで、磁気損失を小さくすることができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the magnetic powder contains the carbonyl iron powder, so that the DC superimposition characteristics can be improved. Further, the 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder is 4.0 μm or less, so that the magnetic loss can be reduced.
 カルボニル鉄粉の90%体積平均粒子径(D90)は、好ましくは1.0μm以上、より好ましくは3.0μm以上である。なお、「90%体積平均粒子径(D90)」とは、レーザ散乱・回折法に基づく粒度分布測定装置に基づいて測定した粒度分布における積算値90%での粒径(D90)を意味する。 The 90% volume average particle size (D90) of the carbonyl iron powder is preferably 1.0 µm or more, more preferably 3.0 µm or more. The term "90% volume average particle size (D90)" means the particle size (D90) at an integrated value of 90% in a particle size distribution measured based on a particle size distribution analyzer based on a laser scattering/diffraction method.
 カルボニル鉄粉の90%体積平均粒子径(D90)は、好ましくは9.0μm未満、より好ましくは7.0μm以下である。カルボニル鉄粉の90%体積平均粒子径(D90)が9.0μm以上であると、磁気損失が大きくなるおそれがある。 The 90% volume average particle size (D90) of the carbonyl iron powder is preferably less than 9.0 µm, more preferably 7.0 µm or less. If the 90% volume average particle diameter (D90) of the carbonyl iron powder is 9.0 μm or more, magnetic loss may increase.
 ここで、50%体積平均粒子径(D50)及び90%体積平均粒子径(D90)の測定は、例えば、マイクロトラック・ベル株式会社製の粒子径分布測定装置(型式:MT3300)を用いて測定することができる。測定条件は、例えば、粒子透過性を透過モード、溶媒をエタノール、溶媒屈折率を1.36とする。 Here, the 50% volume average particle size (D50) and 90% volume average particle size (D90) are measured using, for example, a particle size distribution analyzer (model: MT3300) manufactured by Microtrack Bell Co., Ltd. can do. Measurement conditions are, for example, a transmission mode for particle permeability, ethanol as a solvent, and a solvent refractive index of 1.36.
 カルボニル鉄粉は、絶縁処理されていることが好ましい。すなわち、磁性粉末は、絶縁処理カルボニル鉄粉を含むことが好ましい。絶縁処理カルボニル鉄粉は、例えば、リン化合物(リン酸等)又は金属酸化物(シリカ等)を用いて、カルボニル鉄粉の表面を処理することにより得られる。このように、カルボニル鉄粉を絶縁処理することにより、カルボニル鉄粉の粒子間の渦電流損失が低減される。 The carbonyl iron powder is preferably insulated. That is, the magnetic powder preferably contains an insulation-treated carbonyl iron powder. The insulated carbonyl iron powder is obtained by treating the surface of the carbonyl iron powder with, for example, a phosphorus compound (phosphoric acid, etc.) or a metal oxide (silica, etc.). By insulating the carbonyl iron powder in this manner, eddy current loss between particles of the carbonyl iron powder is reduced.
 上記の絶縁処理カルボニル鉄粉は、有機系表面処理剤で表面処理されていてもよい。有機系表面処理剤としては、特に限定されないが、カップリング剤(後述)、及び有機酸等が挙げられる。このように、絶縁処理カルボニル鉄粉が有機系表面処理剤で表面処理されていることにより、熱硬化性樹脂等との相溶性が増し、磁性樹脂組成物における絶縁処理カルボニル鉄粉の分散性を向上させることができる。 The above insulation-treated carbonyl iron powder may be surface-treated with an organic surface treatment agent.

When the content of the carbonyl iron powder is 70% by mass or more, a decrease in relative magnetic permeability can be suppressed. Furthermore, deterioration of DC superimposition characteristics can be suppressed.

When the content of the carbonyl iron powder is 94% by mass or less, moldability can be improved.
 ≪フェライト粉≫

<<Ferrite powder>>
Ferrite powder is a ceramic powder containing iron oxide as a main component. Examples of ferrite include, but are not particularly limited to, spinel ferrite, hexagonal ferrite, and garnet ferrite. Examples of spinel ferrite include, but are not particularly limited to, magnetite (magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 ). The particle shape of the ferrite powder is preferably spherical.
 フェライト粉は、カルボニル鉄粉に比べて電気絶縁性が高い。そのため、磁性粉末がフェライト粉を更に含むことで、磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の損失係数(tanδ)をより小さくすることができる。 Ferrite powder has higher electrical insulation than carbonyl iron powder. Therefore, by including ferrite powder in the magnetic powder, the loss factor (tan δ) of the cured product of the magnetic resin composition can be further reduced.
 フェライト粉は、例えば、無機材料(シリカ等)又はカップリング剤(後述)を用いて、表面処理されていてもよい。このように、フェライト粉が表面処理されていると、熱及び吸湿による電気絶縁性の劣化を抑制したり、磁気特性の変化を抑制したりすることができる。 The ferrite powder may be surface-treated, for example, using an inorganic material (silica, etc.) or a coupling agent (described later). When the ferrite powder is surface-treated in this way, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the electrical insulation due to heat and moisture absorption, and suppress the change in the magnetic properties.
 磁性粉末がフェライト粉を更に含む場合、フェライト粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)は、カルボニル鉄粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)よりも小さいことが好ましい。具体的には、フェライト粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)は、好ましくは0.01μm以上、より好ましくは0.1μm以上である。フェライト粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)が0.01μm以上であることで、表面積の増加が抑制され、成形性が向上し得る。フェライト粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)は、好ましくは1.0μm以下である。フェライト粉の50%体積平均粒子径(D50)が1.0μm以下であることで、フェライト粉の粒子が、カルボニル鉄粉の粒子間に形成される隙間を埋めることができる。これにより、カルボニル鉄粉の粒子同士の接触が抑制され、最密充填構造が形成されやすくなる。またフェライト粉の粒子内の渦電流損失の増加が抑えられ、磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の損失係数(tanδ)が増加しにくくなる。 When the magnetic powder further contains ferrite powder, the 50% volume average particle size (D50) of the ferrite powder is preferably smaller than the 50% volume average particle size (D50) of the carbonyl iron powder. Specifically, the 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the ferrite powder is preferably 0.01 μm or more, more preferably 0.1 μm or more. When the 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the ferrite powder is 0.01 μm or more, an increase in surface area can be suppressed, and moldability can be improved. The 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the ferrite powder is preferably 1.0 μm or less. When the 50% volume average particle diameter (D50) of the ferrite powder is 1.0 μm or less, the ferrite powder particles can fill the gaps formed between the carbonyl iron powder particles. This suppresses the contact between the particles of the carbonyl iron powder, facilitating the formation of a close-packed structure. Moreover, an increase in eddy current loss in the particles of the ferrite powder is suppressed, and the loss factor (tan δ) of the cured product of the magnetic resin composition is less likely to increase.
 フェライト粉の含有量は、磁性樹脂組成物の固形分合計100質量%に対して、好ましくは5質量%以上、より好ましくは10質量%以上である。フェライト粉の含有量が5質量%以上であることで、磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の損失係数(tanδ)をより小さくすることができる。フェライト粉の含有量は、磁性樹脂組成物の固形分合計100質量%に対して、好ましくは30質量%以下、より好ましくは20質量%以下である。フェライト粉の含有量が30質量%以下であることで、磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の直流重畳特性の低下を抑制し得る。 The ferrite powder content is preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 10% by mass or more, relative to the total solid content of 100% by mass of the magnetic resin composition. When the content of the ferrite powder is 5% by mass or more, the loss factor (tan δ) of the cured product of the magnetic resin composition can be made smaller. The ferrite powder content is preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 20% by mass or less, relative to the total solid content of 100% by mass of the magnetic resin composition. When the content of the ferrite powder is 30% by mass or less, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the DC superimposition characteristics of the cured product of the magnetic resin composition.

<Characteristics>
The magnetic resin composition according to this embodiment is sheet-like, liquid-like, or powder-like. The sheet-shaped magnetic resin composition is a magnetic sheet. The magnetic sheet will be described later. Since the liquid magnetic resin composition has a low viscosity at the time of molding, it is excellent in filling narrow gaps and the like. On the other hand, since the powdery magnetic resin composition can be pressurized, it is possible to improve filling properties in narrow gaps and the like.
 本実施形態に係る磁性樹脂組成物は、以下のような特性を有し得る。 The magnetic resin composition according to this embodiment can have the following characteristics.
 磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の周波数100MHzにおける比透磁率は、好ましくは8以上、より好ましくは9以上である。比透磁率は大きいほど好ましい。これにより、直流重畳特性が向上しやすくなる。比透磁率の上限は、特に限定されないが、例えば、100以下である。 The cured product of the magnetic resin composition preferably has a relative magnetic permeability of 8 or more, more preferably 9 or more at a frequency of 100 MHz. The higher the relative magnetic permeability, the better. This makes it easier to improve the DC superimposition characteristics. Although the upper limit of the relative magnetic permeability is not particularly limited, it is 100 or less, for example.
 磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の周波数100MHzにおける損失係数(tanδ)は、好ましくは0.04以下、より好ましくは0.03以下である。これにより、熱損失を小さくすることができる。損失係数(tanδ)は小さいほど好ましい。損失係数(tanδ)の下限は、好ましくは0.001以上、より好ましくは0.01以上である。 The loss factor (tan δ) at a frequency of 100 MHz of the cured product of the magnetic resin composition is preferably 0.04 or less, more preferably 0.03 or less. Thereby, heat loss can be reduced. A smaller loss factor (tan δ) is more preferable. The lower limit of the loss factor (tan δ) is preferably 0.001 or more, more preferably 0.01 or more.
 磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物の周波数100kHzにおける直流重畳許容電流値は、好ましくは15A以上、より好ましくは16A以上である。直流重畳許容電流値は大きいほど好ましい。直流重畳許容電流値の上限は、特に限定されないが、例えば、50A以下である。 The DC superposition allowable current value of the cured product of the magnetic resin composition at a frequency of 100 kHz is preferably 15 A or more, more preferably 16 A or more. It is preferable that the DC superimposition allowable current value is as large as possible. The upper limit of the DC superposition allowable current value is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 50 A or less.
 本実施形態に係る磁性樹脂組成物は、高周波での磁気特性に優れている。すなわち、磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物は、比透磁率が大きく、損失係数(tanδ)が小さく、直流重畳許容電流値が大きくなりやすい。したがって、本実施形態に係る磁性樹脂組成物は、パワーインダクタ等の部品に好適に用いられる。パワーインダクタは、例えば、DC-DCコンバータ等の電源回路に用いられる。本実施形態に係る磁性樹脂組成物を用いると、DC-DCコンバータ等を容易に高機能化することができる。 The magnetic resin composition according to this embodiment has excellent magnetic properties at high frequencies. That is, the cured product of the magnetic resin composition tends to have a high relative magnetic permeability, a small loss factor (tan δ), and a large allowable DC superposition current value. Therefore, the magnetic resin composition according to this embodiment is suitably used for parts such as power inductors. Power inductors are used, for example, in power supply circuits such as DC-DC converters. By using the magnetic resin composition according to the present embodiment, a DC-DC converter or the like can be easily made highly functional.
 (2)磁性シート
 本実施形態に係る磁性シートは、磁性樹脂組成物を含む。磁性シート(シート状の磁性樹脂組成物)、液状の磁性樹脂組成物、及び粉状の磁性樹脂組成物を総合的に判断すると、液状又は粉状の磁性樹脂組成物に比べて、磁性シートは、狭小な隙間等への充填性、及び薄膜の形成しやすさ等の点で、より優れている。したがって、本実施形態に係る磁性シートは、パワーインダクタ等の部品に好適に用いられる。
(2) Magnetic Sheet The magnetic sheet according to the present embodiment contains a magnetic resin composition. Comprehensively judging the magnetic sheet (sheet-like magnetic resin composition), the liquid magnetic resin composition, and the powdery magnetic resin composition, the magnetic sheet is compared to the liquid or powdery magnetic resin composition. , fillability into narrow gaps, etc., and ease of forming a thin film. Therefore, the magnetic sheet according to this embodiment is suitably used for parts such as power inductors.
 磁性シートは、磁性樹脂組成物をシート状に成形することにより得られる。具体的には、磁性樹脂組成物を支持体に塗布し、加熱乾燥させることにより磁性シートを得ることができる。あらかじめ磁性樹脂組成物を溶剤で希釈しておけば、磁性樹脂組成物の粘度が低減し、支持体への塗布性が向上する。溶剤は、加熱乾燥により蒸発して除去される。支持体上に成形された磁性シートは、支持体から剥離可能である。 A magnetic sheet is obtained by molding a magnetic resin composition into a sheet. Specifically, a magnetic sheet can be obtained by applying a magnetic resin composition to a support and drying by heating. By diluting the magnetic resin composition in advance with a solvent, the viscosity of the magnetic resin composition is reduced and the coatability to the support is improved. The solvent is evaporated and removed by heat drying. The magnetic sheet molded on the support can be peeled off from the support.
 ここで、磁性樹脂組成物が液状のエポキシ樹脂及び粉状のエポキシ樹脂を含有する場合、液状のエポキシ樹脂の含有量を増加させるほど、磁性シートの可撓性を向上させることができる。可撓性が向上すれば、磁性シートを巻回しやすくなる。一方、粉状のエポキシ樹脂の含有量を増加させるほど、支持体からの磁性シートの剥離性を向上させることができる。 Here, when the magnetic resin composition contains a liquid epoxy resin and a powdery epoxy resin, the flexibility of the magnetic sheet can be improved by increasing the content of the liquid epoxy resin. If flexibility improves, it will become easy to wind a magnetic sheet. On the other hand, as the content of the powdery epoxy resin is increased, the peelability of the magnetic sheet from the support can be improved.
 支持体としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)フィルム、及びポリエステルフィルム等が挙げられる。 The support is not particularly limited, but examples include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and polyester film.
 磁性シートの厚さは、特に限定されないが、例えば、10μm以上300μm以下である。 Although the thickness of the magnetic sheet is not particularly limited, it is, for example, 10 μm or more and 300 μm or less.
 本実施形態に係る磁性シートは、加圧成形が容易であるため、狭小な隙間等への充填性が優れている。また磁性シートは、厚さが均一であり、薄膜形成が可能であるという利点もある。 The magnetic sheet according to the present embodiment is easy to be pressure-molded, so it is excellent in filling narrow gaps and the like. The magnetic sheet also has the advantage that it has a uniform thickness and can be formed into a thin film.
 (3)インダクタ部品
 本実施形態に係るインダクタ部品は、コイルと、成形体と、を備える(例えば、国際公開2019/017236号参照)。成形体は、コイルの少なくとも一部を内蔵する。成形体は、磁性樹脂組成物の硬化物で形成されている。
(3) Inductor component The inductor component according to this embodiment includes a coil and a molded body (see, for example, International Publication No. 2019/017236). The compact incorporates at least part of the coil. The molded body is formed of a cured product of a magnetic resin composition.
 このように、インダクタ部品は、上述の磁性樹脂組成物を用いて形成されているので、磁気損失を小さくすることができ、また直流重畳特性を向上させることができる。これにより、インダクタ部品の小型化を図ることもできる。また磁性樹脂組成物にカップリング剤が含有されていると、コイルと成形体との密着性を向上させることができる。 Thus, since the inductor component is formed using the magnetic resin composition described above, it is possible to reduce magnetic loss and improve DC superimposition characteristics. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size of the inductor component. Further, when the magnetic resin composition contains a coupling agent, the adhesion between the coil and the molded body can be improved.
