  • This disclosure relates to electronic components and methods for manufacturing the same.
  • Patent Document 1 A conventional electronic component is described in JP 2020-174169 A (Patent Document 1).
  • This electronic component has a glass substrate including a bottom surface, a coil provided on the glass substrate, and a terminal electrode provided on the glass substrate and electrically connected to the coil.
  • the bottom conductor of the coil is provided on the bottom surface of the glass substrate, and the terminal electrode is provided on the bottom surface of the glass substrate.
  • the bottom conductor and the terminal electrodes are provided on the same bottom surface of the glass substrate, so the bottom conductor and the terminal electrodes interfere with each other, making it difficult to improve the design freedom of the electronic components.
  • the purpose of this disclosure is to provide electronic components and manufacturing methods thereof that can improve design freedom.
  • an electronic component comprises: a glass substrate including a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface; an outer surface conductor provided on at least the first side surface of the first side surface and the second side surface and which is at least a part of a passive element; a terminal electrode embedded in the glass substrate so as to be exposed from the bottom surface and electrically connected to the outer surface conductor; the terminal electrode penetrates the glass substrate from the first side surface to the second side surface, A height dimension of the glass substrate, which is the distance between the top surface and the bottom surface, is smaller than a width dimension of the glass substrate, which is the distance between the first side surface and the second side surface.
  • the first side surface on which the outer conductor of the passive element is provided and the bottom surface on which the terminal electrode is provided are different surfaces, so the outer conductor and the terminal electrode can be designed without affecting each other, improving the design freedom of the electronic component.
  • the terminal electrode since the terminal electrode penetrates the glass substrate from the first side surface to the second side surface, the terminal electrode extends in the width direction from the first side surface to the second side surface while embedded in the glass substrate. If the terminal electrode were not present and the height dimension was smaller than the width dimension, the glass substrate would be more likely to bend in the height direction from the bottom surface to the top surface, but since the terminal electrode extends in the width direction while embedded in the glass substrate, the bending strength of the glass substrate in the height direction can be improved.

  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of Fig. 1.
  • electronic component 1 has a glass substrate 10, an inductor element 2, a first terminal electrode 41, and a second terminal electrode 42.
  • Inductor element 2 corresponds to an example of a "passive element" as defined in the claims.
  • Electronic component 1 is a surface-mount electronic component used, for example, in a high-frequency signal transmission circuit.
  • the glass substrate 10 has a top surface 10t and a bottom surface 10b located on opposite sides, and a first side surface 10s1 and a second side surface 10s2 located on opposite sides.
  • the inductor element 2 has a first coil conductor 21 provided on the first side surface 10s1 and a second coil conductor 22 provided on the second side surface 10s2.
  • the first coil conductor 21 and the second coil conductor 22 are examples of the "external conductor" described in the claims.
  • the first terminal electrode 41 and the second terminal electrode 42 are embedded in the glass substrate 10 so as to be exposed from the bottom surface 10b, and are electrically connected to the first coil conductor 21 and the second coil conductor 22, respectively.

  • the height dimension H of the glass substrate 10, which is the distance between the top surface 10t and the bottom surface 10b, is smaller than the width dimension W of the glass substrate 10, which is the distance between the first side surface 10s1 and the second side surface 10s2.
  • the relationship "height dimension H is smaller than width dimension W” refers to a relationship that satisfies at least one of the following: "the maximum distance (height dimension H) between the top surface 10t and the bottom surface 10b is smaller than the minimum distance (width dimension W) between the first side surface 10s1 and the second side surface 10s2" or "the average distance (height dimension H) between the top surface 10t and the bottom surface 10b is smaller than the average distance (width dimension W) between the first side surface 10s1 and the second side surface 10s2.”

  • the outer surface 100 of the glass substrate 10 does not simply mean the surface facing the outer periphery of the glass substrate 10, but the surface that is the boundary between the outside and the inside of the glass substrate 10. Furthermore, “above the outer surface 100 of the glass substrate 10" does not mean an absolute direction such as vertically upward as determined by the direction of gravity, but refers to the direction toward the outside of the outside and the inside with the outer surface 100 as the 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 position away from the element, that is, an upper position via another object on the element or an upper position with a space therebetween, but also a position directly above the element (on).

  • the glass substrate 10 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.

With this, when the electronic component 1 is mounted on the mounting substrate so that the bottom surface 10b of the glass substrate 10 faces the mounting substrate, the axis AX of the coil 20 is horizontal to the mounting substrate, so that a decrease in the L value or Q value due to eddy currents flowing in the mounting substrate is unlikely to occur. "Parallel” does not only mean that the axis AX is completely parallel to the bottom surface 10b, but also includes the axis AX being substantially parallel, such as being slightly tilted relative to the bottom surface 10b.
  • the coil 20 includes a plurality of first coil conductors 21, a plurality of second coil conductors 22, a plurality of first through conductors 23, and a plurality of second through conductors 24.
