Claims
- 1. A process for the production of an inductor device, comprising the steps of:forming a green sheet to form an insulating layer; forming a plurality of conductive coil pattern units on the surface of the green sheet so that a plurality of unit sections each including a single coil pattern unit are arranged on the surface of the green sheet and each two coil pattern units adjoining in a substantially perpendicular direction to a longitudinal direction of the unit sections are arranged centro-symmetrically with respect to a center point of a vertical boundary line of adjoining unit sections; stacking a plurality of green sheets formed with the plurality of coil pattern units arranged centro-symmetrically so that the coil pattern units are alternately stacked and connecting the upper and lower coil pattern units separated by the green sheets to form a coil shape; and sintering the stacked green sheets.
- 2. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein, when forming the plurality of coil pattern units on the surface of the green sheet, each two coil pattern units adjoining in the longitudinal direction of the unit sections are arranged at the same positions inside the individual unit sections.
- 3. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coil pattern units are each comprised of two substantially parallel linear patterns and a curved pattern connecting first ends of the linear patterns.
- 4. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coil pattern units are each comprised of line symmetric patterns about a center line dividing a unit section across its width direction.
- 5. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the plurality of green sheets are stacked so that each two coil pattern units adjoining each other in the stacking direction through a green sheet become line symmetrical with respect to a center line dividing the unit sections across the longitudinal direction.
- 6. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein, when forming the plurality of coil pattern units on the surface of the green sheet, each two coil pattern units adjoining in the longitudinal direction of the unit sections are arranged centro-symmetrically with respect to a center point of a horizontal boundary line of adjoining unit sections.
- 7. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coil pattern units are each comprised of substantially C-shaped patterns.
- 8. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coil pattern units are each comprised of substantially L-shaped patterns.
- 9. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, wherein coil pattern units of a thickness of ⅓ to ⅔ of the thickness of the green sheets are formed on the surface of green sheets of a thickness of 5 to 30 μm.
- 10. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising, before the sintering step, a step of cutting the stacked green sheets for each unit section.
- 11. The process for the production of an inductor device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising, before the sintering step, a step of cutting the stacked green sheets for each plurality of unit sections.
