DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. The sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of functions and constructions that would be well known to one of ordinary skill in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided and thus, this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an embodiment or example, e.g. , as to what an embodiment or example may include or implement, means that at least an embodiment or example exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples and examples are not limited thereto.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples .

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element’s relationship to another element as illustrated in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other manners (for example, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes illustrated in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the detailed shapes illustrated in the drawings, but include changes in shape occurring during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various manners as will be apparent after gaining an understanding of the disclosure of this application. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after gaining an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

The drawings may not be to scale, and the relative sizes, proportions, and depiction of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically illustrating an inductor component according to an embodiment. FIGS. 2, 4 and 5 correspond to cross-sectional views of the inductor component of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of area A in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, an inductor component 100 according to an embodiment includes a body 110, a first conductor 121, a second conductor 122, a first pad 131, a second pad 132, a first conductive via 141, and a second conductive via 142. In this case, the second conductor 122 is disposed adjacent to the first conductor 121 and shifted in a first direction (X-direction) with respect to the first conductor 121. For convenience of illustration, only one of the first and second conductors 121 and 122 is illustrated in FIG. 1.

The body 110 may form the exterior of the inductor component 100 and may be formed to have a hexahedral shape as a whole. The body 110 includes a first surface S1 and a second surface S2 opposing each other in the first direction (X-direction), and a third surface S3 and a fourth surface S4 connected to the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 and opposing each other in a second direction (Y-direction). In this case, the third surface S3 of the body 110 may be used as a mounting surface in disposing the inductor component 100 on another substrate or package. Referring to FIG. 3, the body 110 may include magnetic particles 111 and an insulating resin 112. In this case, the body 110 may be formed by laminating one or more magnetic composite sheets including an insulating resin and a magnetic metal powder dispersed in the insulating resin. The insulating resin 112 may include, but is not limited to, epoxy, polyimide, liquid crystal polymer, or the like alone or in combination. The magnetic particles 111 may include at least one selected from the group consisting of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), niobium (Nb), copper (Cu), boron (B), and nickel (Ni). For example, the magnetic particles 111 may be formed using at least one or more of pure iron powder, Fe—Si alloy powder, Fe—Si—Al alloy powder, Fe—Ni alloy powder, Fe—Ni—Mo alloy powder, Fe—Ni—Mo—Cu alloy powder, Fe—Co alloy powder, Fe—Ni—Co alloy powder, Fe—Cr alloy powder, Fe—Cr—Si alloy powder, Fe—Si—Cu—Nb alloy powder, Fe—Ni—Cr alloy powder, and Fe— Cr—Al alloy powder. The magnetic particles 111 may be amorphous or crystalline. For example, the magnetic particles 111 may be Fe-Si-based amorphous alloy powder, but is not necessarily limited thereto. The magnetic particles 11 may have an average diameter of about 0.1 µm to 30 µm, but is not limited thereto. On the other hand, in the present specification, the diameter may refer to a particle size distribution represented as D₉₀, D₅₀, or the like.

The first and second conductors 121 and 122 are disposed in the body 110 and extend in the first direction (X-direction) . As in the form illustrated in detail, the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may have a rod shape formed in the first direction (X-direction), and may be formed of a metal having relatively high electrical conductivity, such as copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) or alloys thereof. In this case, the rod shape may be a form in which the lengths of the first and second conductors 121 and 122 in the first direction (X-direction) are longer than those in other directions (Y-direction and Z-direction) .

In the present embodiment, the second conductor 122 is shifted in the first direction (X-direction) with respect to the first conductor 121, and by using this shift arrangement method, a relatively larger number of conductors 121 and 122 may be included in the body 110. Referring to FIG. 2, the shift arrangement of the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may indicate that one ends of the first and second conductors 121 and 122 adjacent to each other are spaced apart from each other with a predetermined distance S in the first direction (X-direction). As illustrated in the drawings, the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may be provided as a plurality of conductors, respectively, and may be alternately disposed in one direction. In more detail, the one direction may be a third direction (Z-direction) perpendicular to the first and second directions (X-direction and Y-direction). In addition, the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may be disposed shifted in the first direction (X-direction) in a range in which some regions overlap in the third direction (Z-direction). That is, in the first direction (X-direction), the first conductor 121 may be closer to the second surface S2 of the body 110 than the second conductor 122, and the second conductor 122 may be closer to the first surface S1 of the body 110 than the first conductor 121. If there is no overlapping region in the third direction (Z-direction), the length of the body 110 in the first direction (X-direction) may be excessively increased, which may be disadvantageous in downsizing the inductor component 100. When the inductor component 100 is mounted on a substrate or package, the first and second conductors 121 and 122 are interlocked with conductors present in the substrate and package to form an inductor structure as a whole. To this end, the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may not be connected to each other in the body 110. For example, an additional conductor connecting the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may not be present in the body 110. That is, the first conductor 121 and the second conductor 122 may be separated from each other within the body 110. On the other hand, although the present embodiment illustrates the case in which the first and second conductors 121 and 122 are each 4 in one body 110, and for example, a total of 8 conductors 121 and 122 are disposed; each of the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may be provided as one, two or three, respectively, and may also be provided with 5 or more.

As in the present embodiment, by disposing the first and second conductors 121 and 122 to be shifted within the body 110, the gap between the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may be reduced, and thus, a relatively larger number of conductors 121 and 122 may be disposed in one inductor component 100. In the case of the related art, when having 8 conductors 121 and 122 as in the present embodiment, two inductor components, for example, two inductor components having four conductors, should be employed. Meanwhile, in the present embodiment of the present disclosure, a larger number of conductors 121 and 122 may be disposed in one inductor component 100. As a detailed example, compared to the arrangement structure of the related art in which two MIA parts (length * width: 1.6 mm * 1.3 mm) having four conductors arranged in one direction, rather than having a shift arrangement structure; as in the present embodiment, one inductor component including eight conductors having a shift arrangement structure may have a length*width of about 2.4 mm*1.45 mm, and the mounting area may be reduced to a level of about 20%. Furthermore, compared to the case of using 11 MIA components of the related art, when the components are integrated into one inductor component, the length*width is about 2.4 mm*7.3 mm, and the mounting area may be reduced to about 24%. According to the present embodiment, the number and mounting area of the inductor components 100 may be reduced in a microprocessor or the like based on the same performance standard. Therefore, beneficial effects such as a reduced package size and reduced package assembly costs may be expected.

The first pad 131 and the second pad 141 are disposed on the third surface S3 of the body 110. In addition, the first conductive via 141 extends in the second direction (Y-direction) to connect the first conductor 121 and the first pad 131. The second conductive via 142 extends in the second direction (Y-direction) to connect the second conductor 122 and the second pad 132. As illustrated, a pair of the first pads 131 and a pair of the first conductive vias 141 may be provided to be connected to one end and the other end of the first conductor 121. Similarly, a pair of the second pads 132 and a pair of the second conductive vias 142 are provided and may be connected to one end and the other end of the second conductor 122. In one embodiment, the first pad 131 may not overlap the second pad 132 in any direction among the first direction (X-direction), the second direction (Y-direction), and the third direction (Z-direction). Like the first and second conductors 121 and 122, the second pad 132 and the second conductive via 142 may be formed of a conductive material, such as copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) or alloys thereof.

Modified embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 10. First, in the case of the embodiment of FIG. 6, pad areas P1 and P2 are formed in the first and second conductors 121 and 122. In detail, one end and the other end of the first conductor 121 are a first pad area P1 that is greater than the other regions, and one end and the other end of the second conductor 122 are a second pad area P2 that is greater than the other regions. In this case, the first conductive via 141 may be connected to the first pad area P1 of the first conductor 121, and the second conductive via 142 may be connected to the second pad area P2 of the second conductor 122 . In this case, the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may be disposed such that partial regions of the first and second pad areas P1 and P2 overlap in the first direction (X-direction) . As such, the first and second pad areas P1 and P2 partially overlap in the first direction (X-direction). A gap between the first and second conductors 121 and 122 may be significantly reduced, and accordingly, the number of conductors 121 and 122 that may be disposed in the body 110 may increase, which has the effect of reducing the size of the inductor component 100 having the same performance. The pad areas P1 and P2 used in the embodiment of FIG. 6 may also be applied to the embodiment of FIG. 7 described below.

Next, in the case of the embodiment of FIG. 7, as a form having a larger number of conductors 121 and 122, a plurality of first conductors 121 are provided and arranged in the first direction (X-direction). Similarly, the second conductor 122 is provided as a plurality of second conductors 122 which are arranged in the first direction (X-direction) . In this case, the number of the pads 131 and 132 and the conductive vias 141 and 142 may also increase according to the shapes of the first and second conductors 121 and 122.

Next, in the case of the embodiment of FIGS. 8A and 8B, an inductor component 200 includes conductors having different shapes, for example, a rod-shaped conductor 221 and a coil-shaped conductor 222. In the case of FIG. 8A, a cross-section in the body 210 is illustrated, and FIG. 8B illustrates a third surface S3 of the body 210. In this modified example, the first conductor 221 has a rod shape extending in the first direction (X-direction), and the second conductor 222 disposed adjacent thereto has a coil shape. In this case, a plurality of the first and second conductors 221 and 222 may be provided and may be alternately disposed in one direction. The coil-shaped second conductor 222 may be supported by a support member 220, and the second conductor 222 may be disposed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the support member 220. The support member 220 may be formed of an insulating material including at least one of a thermosetting insulating resin such as an epoxy resin, a thermoplastic insulating resin such as polyimide, and a photoimageable dielectric resin. Alternatively, the support member 220 may be formed of an insulating material in which at least one resin described above is impregnated with a reinforcing material such as glass fiber or an inorganic filler. In an example, the support member 220 may be formed of an insulating material such as Copper Clad Laminate (CCL), an insulation material (Unclad CCL) in which copper foil has been removed from a copper clad laminate, Prepreg, Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), FR-4, Bismaleimide Triazine (BT) film, a Photo Imageable Dielectric (PID) film, or the like. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. As the inorganic filler, at least one selected from the group consisting of silica (SiO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), silicon carbide (SiC), barium sulfate (BaSO₄), talc, mud, mica powder, aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)₃), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂), calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃), magnesium oxide (MgO), boron nitride (BN), aluminum borate (AlBO₃), barium titanate (BaTiO₃) and calcium zirconate (CaZrO₃) may be used.

. In this case, the second conductor 222 may include a seed layer and an electrolytic plating layer. In this case, the electrolytic plating layer may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. The electrolytic plating layer having a multilayer structure may be formed in a conformal film structure in which one electrolytic plating layer is covered by another electrolytic plating layer, and may also be formed in a shape in which another electrolytic plating layer is laminated on only one surface of one electrolytic plating layer. The coil-shaped second conductor 222 may be formed of a conductive material such as, but is not limited thereto, copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) or alloys thereof. In addition, the second conductor 222 having a coil shape may also have a coil structure of a winding type.

A first pad 231 and a second pad 232 are disposed on the third surface S3 of the body 210, and as in the previous embodiment, the first conductor 221 and the first pad 231 are connected by a first conductive via 241, and the second conductor 222 and the second pad 232 are connected by a second conductive via 242. As illustrated, one end and the other end of the first conductor 221 may be formed as a first pad area P1, and one end and the other end of the second conductor 222 may be formed as a second pad area P2. In this case, the width (e.g. , the width in the Z-direction) of the second pad area P2 connected to the coil structure may be greater than the width of the first pad area P2. As in this modified example, by mixing the first conductor 221 and the second conductor 222 having different characteristics in one inductor component 200, the utilization of the inductor component 200 may increase. Furthermore, as in modified examples of FIGS. 9 and 10, more various conductors may be included. In detail, as in the modified example of FIG. 9, as the first conductor 221, the first conductors 221 having different lengths may be provided, and thus, the length of the overlap region thereof with the second conductor 222 may be adjusted. For example, a plurality of first conductors 221 may be provided, and at least two thereof may have different lengths in the first direction (X-direction) . In addition, as in the modified example of FIG. 10, a rod-shaped conductor 223 disposed in another direction may be further provided. The third conductor 223 has a rod shape and extends in a third direction (Z-direction) perpendicular to the first and second directions (X-direction and Y-direction). One end and the other end of the third conductor 223 may be formed as third pad areas P3. In addition, the first and second conductors 221 and 222 are disposed adjacent to each other in the third direction (Z-direction), and at least some regions of the second and third conductors 222 and 223 may overlap each other in the first direction (Z-direction). By further including the third conductor 223 disposed in a direction different from the direction of the first conductor 221, a region thereof overlapping with the second conductor 222 in a different direction may be secured.

As set forth above, according to an embodiment, sufficient inductance characteristics and miniaturization of an inductor component may be improved.
