- the coil has multiple coil patterns stacked along the axis. Adjacent coil patterns in the axial direction are connected via conductive vias.
- the coil pattern has a wiring portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and a pad portion provided at the end of the wiring portion and connecting to the conductive via. The width of the pad portion is wider than the width of the wiring portion to improve the connectivity between the pad portion and the conductive via.

- external electrodes are depicted by two-dot chain lines in Fig. 1.
- the element body 10 is depicted as transparent so that the structure can be easily understood, but it may be semi-transparent or opaque.
- the inductor component 1 is a surface mount type inductor component used, for example, in a high frequency signal transmission circuit. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the inductor component 1 includes an element body 10, a coil 110 provided on the element body 10 and wound in a spiral shape along an axis AX, and a first external electrode 121 and a second external electrode 122 provided on the element body 10 and electrically connected to the coil 110.
- the element body 10 has a length, width, and height.
- the element body 10 has a first end face 100e1 and a second end face 100e2 at both ends in the length direction, a first side face 100s1 and a second side face 100s2 at both ends in the width direction, and a bottom face 100b and a top face 100t at both ends in the height direction.
- the outer surface 100 of the element body 10 includes the first end face 100e1 and the second end face 100e2, the first side face 100s1 and the second side face 100s2, the bottom face 100b, and the top face 100t.
- the bottom face 100b corresponds to an example of a "first main face” as described in the claims
- the top face 100t corresponds to an example of a "second main face” as described in the claims.
- the length direction (longitudinal direction) of the element body 10, which is the direction from the first end face 100e1 to the second end face 100e2, is referred to as the X direction.
- the width direction of the element body 10, which is the direction from the first side face 100s1 to the second side face 100s2, is referred to as the Y direction.
- the height direction of the element body 10, which is the direction from the bottom face 100b to the top face 100t, is referred to as the Z direction.
- the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction are mutually perpendicular, and when arranged in the order X, Y, Z, they form a right-handed system.
- the "outer surface 100 of the element body” including the first end surface 100e1, the second end surface 100e2, the first side surface 100s1, the second side surface 100s2, the bottom surface 100b, and the top surface 100t of the element body 10 does not simply mean a surface facing the outer periphery of the element body 10, but a surface that is the boundary between the outside and the inside of the element body 10. Furthermore, “above the outer surface 100 of the element body 10” does not mean an absolute direction such as vertically upward as defined by the direction of gravity, but refers to a direction toward the outside of the outside and the inside with the outer surface 100 as a boundary, based on the outer surface 100. Therefore, "above the outer surface 100” is a relative direction determined by the orientation of the outer surface 100. Furthermore, "above” with respect to a certain element includes not only an upper side away from the element, that is, an upper position through another object on the element or an upper position with a space therebetween, but also a position directly above the element (on).
- the axis AX of the coil 110 is arranged parallel to the bottom surface 100b.
- the coil 110 includes a plurality of bottom surface wirings 11b arranged on the bottom surface 100b side with respect to the axis AX and arranged along the axis AX on a plane parallel to the bottom surface 100b, a plurality of top surface wirings 11t arranged on the top surface 100t side with respect to the axis AX and arranged along the axis AX on a plane parallel to the top surface 100t, a plurality of first through wirings 13 extending from the bottom surface wirings 11b toward the top surface wirings 11t and arranged along the axis AX, and a plurality of second through wirings 14 extending from the bottom surface wirings 11b toward the top surface wirings 11t, arranged on the opposite side of the first through wirings 13 with respect to the axis AX and arranged along the axis AX.
- the bottom wiring 11b corresponds to an example of the "first coil wiring” described in the claims
- the top wiring 11t corresponds to an example of the "second coil wiring” described in the claims.
- the axis AX is the intersection of a first plane passing through the center between the bottom wiring 11b and the top wiring 11t, and a second plane passing through the center between the first through wiring 13 and the second through wiring 14.
- the axis AX is a straight line passing through the center of the inner diameter portion of the coil 110.
- the axis AX of the coil 110 has no dimension in a direction perpendicular to the axis AX.
- the coil 110 includes the bottom wiring 11b, the first through wiring 13, the top wiring 11t, and the second through wiring 14.
- the bottom wiring 11b, the first through wiring 13, the top wiring 11t, and the second through wiring 14 are connected in this order to form at least a part of a spiral shape, so that the inner diameter of the coil 110 can be increased and the efficiency of obtaining inductance can be increased. Furthermore, by increasing the efficiency of obtaining inductance, the Q value can be increased.
- the pad portion of a conventional inductor component and the bottom wiring 11b and top wiring 11t of this embodiment are "receiving portions" for the wiring that penetrates the element body (the conductive vias of a conventional inductor component and the first through wiring 13 and second through wiring 14 of this embodiment), and therefore have a shape that extends perpendicularly in the direction that penetrates the element body.
- the pad portion extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the coil, and is likely to have a structure that blocks magnetic flux generated in the axial direction of the coil.
- the first through wiring 13 and the second through wiring 14 extend in a direction perpendicular to the axis AX of the coil 110, so the bottom wiring 11b and the top wiring 11t extend in a direction parallel to the axis AX of the coil 110. Therefore, the bottom wiring 11b and the top wiring 11t are unlikely to have a structure that blocks magnetic flux generated in the direction of the axis AX. In other words, with this embodiment, a structure that is unlikely to block magnetic flux can be achieved, improving the inductance acquisition efficiency and Q value.
- FIG. 4 is an XY cross-sectional view of the first through wiring 13 and the second through wiring 14.
- the first through wiring 13 in a cross section parallel to the bottom surface 100b and including the axis AX, the first through wiring 13 includes an inner peripheral edge 131 facing the axis AX side, an outer peripheral edge 132 facing the opposite side to the axis AX, and a side edge 133 parallel to a direction perpendicular to the axis AX.
- the length of the inner peripheral edge 131 is longer than the length of the outer peripheral edge 132.
- the inner peripheral edge 131 is shown by a dotted line
- the outer peripheral edge 132 is shown by a dashed line
- the side edge 133 is shown by a solid line.
- the inner periphery 131 is the region of the entire periphery of the first through wiring 13 that is projected onto the axis AX when the first through wiring 13 is projected toward the axis AX from a direction perpendicular to the axis AX.
- the outer periphery 132 is the region of the entire periphery of the first through wiring 13 that is projected onto the imaginary line BX when the first through wiring 13 is projected toward the imaginary line BX from a direction perpendicular to the axis AX, defining an imaginary line BX that is parallel to the axis AX on the opposite side of the axis AX with respect to the first through wiring 13.
- the length of the inner peripheral edge 131 is longer than the length of the outer peripheral edge 132, so the surface area of the inner surface of the first through wiring 13 can be increased.
- This allows the surface area of the inner surface of the coil 110 to be increased, lowering the electrical resistance at high frequencies and improving the Q value at high frequencies.
- the skin effect causes current to concentrate near the surface of the coil 110, but in this embodiment, the inner peripheral edge 131 of the first through wiring 13 where the high-frequency signal concentrates is relatively long, lowering the electrical resistance and improving the Q value at high frequencies.
- the second through wiring 14 has the same configuration as the first through wiring 13, and has the same effect as the first through wiring 13 described above.
- the second through wiring 14 includes an inner peripheral edge 141 facing the axis AX, an outer peripheral edge 142 facing the opposite side to the axis AX, and a side edge 143 parallel to the direction perpendicular to the axis AX.
- the length of the inner peripheral edge 141 is longer than the length of the outer peripheral edge 142. This allows the surface area of the inner surface of the second through wiring 14 to be increased, and the surface area of the inner surface of the coil 110 to be increased, resulting in a lower electrical resistance value at high frequencies and an improved Q value at high frequencies.
- the length of the inner peripheral edge 131 may be longer than the length of the outer peripheral edge 132, and in the second through wiring 14, the length of the inner peripheral edge 141 may be shorter than or the same as the length of the outer peripheral edge 142.

This allows the length of the inner periphery 131 of the first through wiring 13 to be increased, and the electrical resistance value at high frequencies to be reduced. In other words, since the current flows in a spiral shape on the inner diameter side of the coil 110, the electrical resistance decreases as the length of the inner periphery 131 increases.

- the insulating layer is omitted, and the external electrodes are drawn with two-dot chain lines.
- the element body 10 is drawn transparently so that the structure can be easily understood.
- the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the position of the coil axis, the direction of the through wiring, the material of the element body, and the provision of the insulating layer, and these different configurations will be mainly described below.
- the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted.
- the axis AX of the coil 110 is perpendicular to the X direction. Specifically, the axis AX is parallel to the Y direction and passes through the center of the element body 10 in the X direction. This can reduce the interference with the magnetic flux of the coil 110 by the first external electrode 121 and the second external electrode 122, improving the efficiency of obtaining inductance.
- the length of coil 110 in the axial AX direction is shorter than the inner diameter of coil 110.
- the length of coil 110 in the axial AX direction is also called the coil length. This allows the Q value to be improved because the coil length is short and the coil inner diameter is large.
- the inner diameter of the coil refers to the equivalent diameter of a circle based on the minimum area of the region surrounded by coil 110 when viewed through the axial AX direction.
- the element body 10 is an inorganic insulator.
- the material of the element body 10 is preferably glass, which has high insulating properties and can suppress eddy currents and increase the Q value.
- the element body 10 preferably contains silicon, which provides high thermal stability of the element body 10 and therefore can suppress fluctuations in dimensions of the element body 10 due to heat and reduce variations in electrical characteristics.
- the element body 10 is preferably a single-layer glass plate. This ensures the strength of the element body 10. Furthermore, in the case of a single-layer glass plate, the dielectric loss is small, so the Q value at high frequencies can be increased. Furthermore, since there is no sintering process as in the case of sintered bodies, deformation of the element body 10 during sintering can be suppressed, which suppresses pattern misalignment, making it possible to provide an inductor component with a small inductance tolerance.
- the material of the single-layer glass plate is preferably a photosensitive glass plate such as Foturan II (registered trademark of Schott AG).
- the single-layer glass plate preferably contains cerium oxide (ceria: CeO 2 ), in which case the cerium oxide acts as a sensitizer, making processing by photolithography easier.
- the single-layer glass plate can be processed by mechanical processing such as drilling and sandblasting, dry/wet etching using a photoresist/metal mask, laser processing, etc., it may be a glass plate that does not have photosensitivity.
- the single-layer glass plate may be made by sintering a glass paste, or may be formed by a known method such as the float method.
- the inductor component 1E has an insulator 22.
- the insulator 22 covers both the bottom surface 100b and the top surface 100t of the element body 10. Note that the insulator 22 may be provided only on the bottom surface 100b out of the bottom surface 100b and the top surface 1100t.
- the insulator 22 is a member that covers the wiring (bottom wiring 11b, top wiring 11t) to protect the wiring from external forces, prevent damage to the wiring, and improve the insulation of the wiring.
- the insulator 22 is preferably an organic insulator.
- the insulator 22 may be a resin film such as epoxy or polyimide, which is easy to form.
- the insulator 22 is preferably made of a material with a low dielectric constant, which can reduce the stray capacitance formed between the coil 110 and the external electrodes 121 and 122 when the insulator 22 is present between the coil 110 and the external electrodes 121 and 122.
- the insulator 22 can be formed, for example, by laminating a resin film such as ABF GX-92 (manufactured by Ajinomoto Fine-Techno Co., Ltd.), or by applying a paste-like resin and thermally curing it.
- the insulator 22 may be an inorganic film such as an oxide, nitride, or oxynitride of silicon or hafnium, which has excellent insulation properties and can be made into a thin film.
- the organic insulator is located inside the outer surface 100 of the inorganic insulator when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 100b.
- the organic insulator is easily given fluidity, and when the wiring (bottom surface wiring 11b, top surface wiring 11t) is covered with the organic insulator, the organic insulator can be easily filled between adjacent wirings, improving insulation.
- the organic insulator since the organic insulator is not in contact with the outer surface of the mechanical insulator, the load on the organic insulator can be reduced when singulating into individual inductor components, and deformation and peeling of the organic insulator can be suppressed.
- the bottom wiring 11b extends in only one direction. Specifically, the bottom wiring 11b extends in the X direction. A plurality of bottom wirings 11b are arranged in parallel along the Y direction. The top wiring 11t extends in only one direction. Specifically, the top wiring 11t extends in the X direction at a slight incline toward the Y direction. A plurality of top wirings 11t are arranged in parallel along the Y direction.
- the first through wiring 13 is disposed on the first end face 100e1 side with respect to the axis AX within the through hole V of the element body 10
- the second through wiring 14 is disposed on the second end face 100e2 side with respect to the axis AX within the through hole V of the element body 10.
- the first through wiring 13 and the second through wiring 14 each extend in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 100b and the top surface 100t.
- the multiple first through wirings 13 and the multiple second through wirings 14 are each disposed in parallel along the Y direction.
- the top surface 11b3 of the bottom wiring 11b located on the side opposite the axis AX preferably has a convex shape that protrudes upward on the side opposite the axis AX. This makes it possible to increase the distance between the top surfaces 11b3 of two bottom wirings 11b adjacent to each other in the axis AX direction, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the bottom wirings 11b adjacent to each other in the axis AX direction, and thereby increasing the self-resonant frequency of the inductor component 1E.
- the top surface 11t3 located on the opposite side of the axis AX of the top wiring 11t preferably has a convex shape that protrudes upward on the opposite side of the axis AX. This makes it possible to increase the distance between the top surfaces 11t3 of two top wirings 11t adjacent to each other in the axis AX direction, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the top wirings 11t adjacent to each other in the axis AX direction, and increasing the self-resonant frequency of the inductor component 1E.

- the second external electrode 122 is similarly disposed on the bottom wiring 11b, and the upper surface 11b3 of the bottom wiring 11b faces the second external electrode 122.
- the first external electrode 121 and the second external electrode 122 do not have to be disposed directly above the bottom wiring 11b, and may be slightly separated from the bottom wiring 11b when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 100b. Even in this case, the parasitic capacitance between the first external electrode 121 and the second external electrode 122 and the bottom wiring 11b can be reduced.

- the length of the inner peripheral edge 131 is longer than the length of the outer peripheral edge 132, so the surface area of the inner surface of the reference first through-wire 13A can be increased. This allows the surface area of the inner surface of the coil 110 to be increased, lowering the electrical resistance value at high frequencies and improving the Q value at high frequencies.
- all of the first through-wires 13 may have the same configuration as the reference first through-wire 13A.
