DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] In the present invention, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "transverse," and "longitudinal" indicate positions or locations based on the positions or locations shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily intended to better describe the present invention and its embodiments and are not intended to limit the devices, elements, or components indicated to having a specific orientation, or to being constructed or operated in a specific orientation.

[0045] Furthermore, some of the above terms may be used to express other meanings besides indicating a position or location. For example, the term "on" may also be used to indicate a dependency or connection in certain circumstances. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms "installed," "disposed," "provided with," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral structures; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary; or internal communication between two devices, elements, or components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0047] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish between different devices, elements, or components (which may or may not be of the same type and configuration), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the devices, elements, or components indicated. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0048] In related technologies, the composition of multilayer inductor components is mainly divided into three parts: the frame body that acts as an insulator, the internal electrodes that act as an inductor, and the wiring terminals connected to the outside. The wiring terminals of the product need to be physically connected to the outside and form a loop conduction with the circuit.

[0049] The internal electrode includes an internal electrode assembly and a lead-out layer connected to the terminal. The internal electrode assembly includes multiple internal electrode layers stacked in sequence from top to bottom. Each internal electrode layer includes an insulating base and a coil electrode. The coil electrodes are stacked on the surface of the insulating base, and two adjacent coil electrodes are connected through vias. The lead-out layer also includes an insulating base and a coil electrode stacked on the insulating base. The coil electrode of the lead-out layer is also connected to the coil electrode of the internal electrode layer through vias.

[0050] The inventors have found that the current coil electrodes of the inner electrode layer and the lead layer have two electrical connection terminals (such as Figure 4 The first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 shown in the figure are arranged in a single-layer multi-turn design. Figure 4 The spacing W1 in the direction indicated by the x-arrow line is small, so the straight-line distance between the two electrical connection ends is also small. Since the coil electrodes of the upper and lower layers need to be connected through vias, it is necessary to open a through hole on the insulating substrate between the two coil electrodes, and make the through hole correspond to one of the electrical connection ends (for example, the first electrical connection end 210) of the coil electrode located above the insulating substrate.

[0051] When a through hole is opened in the insulating substrate, the insulating substrate will generate greater stress, which will cause cracks on the insulating substrate. After the laminated inductor element has been running for a long time, the cracks will gradually expand. When the cracks expand to the position corresponding to the insulating substrate and the other electrical connection end of the two coil electrodes (for example, the second electrical connection end 320), it may cause the other electrical connection end to be short-circuited with the coil electrode of the lower layer, thereby causing a short circuit in the product.

[0052] The present application solves the problem of product short circuit by increasing the distance between the two electrical connection ends of the coil electrode. The coil electrode layer and the laminated inductor element provided in the embodiment of the present application are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a coil electrode layer, which is applied to a laminated inductor component, including:

[0054] The insulating substrate 100 has a first surface, where the first surface may be one of the surfaces of the insulating substrate 100 along its thickness direction. For example, the insulating substrate 100 may be made of polyimide, polytetrafluoroethylene, or the like.

[0055] The inner ring electrode 200 is provided on the first surface and is coiled along a rectangle. For example, the inner ring electrode 200 can be coiled around a square or a rectangle.

[0056] For example, the number of turns of the inner electrode 200 can be greater than or less than one. When the number of turns of the inner electrode 200 is greater than one, the coil electrode layer can generate a higher inductance value, thereby optimizing the performance of the coil electrode layer. When the number of turns of the inner electrode 200 is less than one, the outer dimensions of the inner electrode 200 are smaller, thereby enabling the outer dimensions of the outer electrode 300 to be correspondingly smaller, thereby reducing the outer dimensions of the coil electrode layer, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the laminated inductor component.

[0057] The outer ring electrode 300 is provided on the first surface and is wound along a rectangular shape. For example, the outer ring electrode 300 can be wound around a square shape or a rectangular shape. One end of the outer ring electrode 300 is connected to one end of the inner ring electrode 200 and is arranged around the inner ring electrode 200. Figure 1 There is a distance W0 between the outer ring electrode 300 and the inner ring electrode 200, and the first direction is parallel to the first side 310 of the outer ring electrode 300.

[0058] Exemplarily, both the inner and outer electrodes 200 and 300 can be formed directly by printing a conductive paste, or by applying a conductive paste according to a preset electrode pattern and then exposing and developing the paste. Optionally, the conductive metal in the conductive paste can be made of at least one material selected from silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), gold (Au), copper (Cu), and platinum (Pt), or a mixture of at least two materials. For example, the conductive paste can be conductive silver paste, which is a viscous paste composed of a mechanical mixture of high-purity metallic silver particles, a binder, a solvent, and an additive.

[0059] The inner ring electrode 200 has a first electrical connection end 210 located away from the outer ring electrode 300, and the outer ring electrode 300 has a second electrical connection end 320 located away from the inner ring electrode 200. Specifically, the first electrical connection end 210 can be connected to the coil electrode layer located above or below it, which can be the inner electrode layer 710 or the lead layer for connecting to the terminal; the second electrical connection end 320 can be connected to the coil electrode layer located above or below it, which can be the inner electrode layer 710 or the lead layer for connecting to the terminal.

[0060] The width of the inner electrode 200 and the outer electrode 300 is W C The distance between the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 in the first direction is W1, and W1≥WC+2W0.

[0061] The coil electrode layer of the present application includes an inner ring electrode 200 and an outer ring electrode 300, that is, the number of winding turns of the coil electrode layer is greater than one turn, so that the number of coil turns of the coil electrode layer can be increased with the same number of electrode layers, thereby increasing the inductance value of the inductor element using the coil electrode layer of the present application.

[0062] In addition, the distance between the first electrical connection end 210 of the inner ring electrode 200 and the second electrical connection end 320 of the outer ring electrode 300 in the first direction is W1, and the width of the coil electrode layer is W. C , the distance between the inner electrode 200 and the outer electrode 300 is W0, W1≥W C +2W0, so that the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 can be separated by a larger distance in the first direction, so that the straight-line distance between the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 is larger. In this way, even if cracks are generated when a through hole is opened at a position corresponding to the first electrical connection end 210 or the second electrical connection end 320 on the insulating base 100 to which the coil electrode layer is attached, the risk of the crack extending to the position corresponding to the second electrical connection end 320 or the first electrical connection end 210 on the insulating base 100 can be reduced, thereby preventing the second electrical connection end 320 or the first electrical connection end 210 from directly contacting the coil electrode layer located below the coil electrode layer, thereby reducing the risk of load short circuit.

[0063] It should be noted that the outer ring electrode 300 of the present application is located at the outermost circle of the coil electrode, and the part located inside the outermost circle is the inner ring electrode 200. For example, when the number of turns of the coil electrode is between two and three, the outermost circle of the coil electrode is the outer ring electrode 300, and the part located inside the outermost circle is the inner ring electrode 200. In this case, the number of turns of the inner ring electrode 200 is greater than one. For example, when the number of turns of the coil electrode is between one and two, please refer to Figure 1 ,lie in Figure 1 The dotted line on the upper left is the dividing line between the inner circle electrode 200 and the outer circle electrode 300. At this time, the number of winding turns of the inner circle electrode 200 is less than one turn. For example, the number of winding turns of the inner circle electrode 200 can be three quarters, two thirds, etc.

[0064] Since W1 determines the distance between the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 along the first direction, please refer to Figure 1 If the first electrical connection end 210 is relatively fixed, for example, if the distance is too large, the distance between the inner electrode 200 and the outer electrode 300 will increase, thereby increasing the size of the multilayer inductor component, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the multilayer inductor component. If the second electrical connection end 320 is relatively fixed, for example, if the distance is too large, the first electrical connection end 210 will be further away from the second electrical connection end 320 (e.g. Figure 1 The first electrical connection end 210 in the circuit is too far to the right), which reduces the winding length of the inner electrode 200, thereby reducing the inductance of the stacked inductor element and weakening the performance of the stacked inductor element.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, W1≥2W C +2W0, thereby further increasing the straight-line distance between the first electrical connection terminal and the second electrical connection terminal, to further reduce the risk of load short circuit.

[0066] Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the inner contour of the inner ring electrode 200 includes a first inner contour line 201 and a second inner contour line 202, and the first inner contour line 201 and the second inner contour line 202 are parallel and spaced apart along the first direction, that is, the first inner contour line 201 and the second inner contour line 202 are both perpendicular to the first direction, and there is a spacing W2 between the first inner contour line 201 and the second inner contour line 202, W1≤W2.

[0067] Take the first inner contour line 201 located between the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 as an example. Figure 1 Taking the perspective shown as an example, the first inner contour line 201 is located on the left side of the second inner contour line 202. In this application, W1≤W2 can make the first electrical connection end 210 away from the second inner contour line 202 by a preset distance, so that W1 is within a suitable range, so that the spacing between the inner ring electrode 200 and the outer ring electrode 300 is within a suitable range, and the inner ring electrode 200 has a relatively large winding length, thereby improving the inductance value of the stacked inductor element.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, W1≤W2-W C -W0, thereby making the inner electrode 200 have a larger winding length, further improving the inductance value of the multilayer inductor element.

[0069] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 1 There is a spacing W3 between the first electrical connection end and the first inner contour line, W3 ≥ 0.25W2; there is a spacing W4 between the first electrical connection end and the second inner contour line, W4 ≥ 0.25W2, so that the first electrical connection end 210 can be located in the middle area of ​​the rectangle where the inner ring electrode 200 is located, so that the coil electrode layer has better symmetry, thereby making the magnetic field distribution more uniform, so as to reduce the inductance deviation caused by winding asymmetry, improve the consistency and stability of the inductance, and ensure the stability of the inductance value under different working conditions.

[0070] For further examples, please refer to Figure 2 The first electrical connection end 210 is located on the perpendicular midline of the first side 310. The perpendicular midline of the first side 310 is Figure 2 The n dot-dashed lines are shown in FIG.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first electrical connection end 210 is located on the mid-perpendicular of the first side 310, which can make the coil electrode layer more symmetrical, thereby making the magnetic field distribution more uniform, thereby reducing the inductance deviation caused by asymmetric winding, improving the consistency and stability of the inductance, and ensuring the stability of the inductance value under different working conditions; and the uniform magnetic field distribution can make the mutual inductance between the coil electrode layer and the surrounding conductors or other components more stable, reducing the electric field distortion caused by the uneven magnetic field, thereby reducing the generation of mutual inductance parasitic capacitance. Of course, the first electrical connection end 210 can also be located on one side of the mid-perpendicular of the first side 310, so that Figure 2 Taking the perspective shown as an example, the first electrical connection end 210 may also be located on the left or right side of the perpendicular midline of the first side 310 , which is not limited in this application.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, W0 is 0.02-0.04 mm, W C For example, W0 can be 0.02mm, 0.025mm, 0.03mm, 0.038mm, 0.04mm, etc. The specific value of W0 is not limited in this application; C It can be 0.02mm, 0.024mm, 0.029mm, 0.036mm, 0.04mm, etc. This application does not apply to W C The specific value of is limited. Take W0 as 0.03mm, W C Taking 0.024 mm as an example, W1 is greater than or equal to 0.084 mm.

[0073] In this embodiment, W0 is set to 0.02-0.04 mm, W CBy setting it to 0.02-0.04 mm, W1 can be made larger than the preset value, thereby preventing the second electrical connection end 320 or the first electrical connection end 210 from directly contacting the coil electrode layer located below the coil electrode layer, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit of the inductor element. C The value of needs to be flexibly selected according to the specific product. That is, in some products, W0 can also be less than 0.02mm or greater than 0.04mm. This application does not limit this. C Similarly, it can be smaller than 0.02 mm or larger than 0.04 mm.

[0074] In an alternative embodiment, the outer electrode 300 is coiled along a rectangular shape, with the first side 310 being the longer side of the outer electrode 300. This embodiment allows the outer electrode 300 to be coiled along a rectangular shape. Compared to coiling along a square shape, this embodiment allows the first side 310 to be longer, thereby increasing the number of turns in the coil electrode layer and thereby improving the inductance of the multilayer inductor component. Alternatively, the inner electrode 200 can be coiled along a rectangular shape, which also increases the number of turns in the coil electrode layer and improves the inductance of the multilayer inductor component. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer electrode 300 is coiled along a rectangular shape, but the first side 310 is the shorter side of the outer electrode 300.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, the outer ring electrode 300 further has a second side 330, the second side 330 is a short side of the outer ring electrode 300, the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 are located on the same side of the perpendicular midline of the second side 330, and the perpendicular midline of the second side 330 is Figure 2 The m dot-dashed line in FIG.

[0076] by Figure 2 Taking the perspective shown as an example, based on the unchanged position of the first electrical connection end 210, if the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 are respectively located on both sides of the mid-perpendicular line of the second side 330, the second electrical connection end 320 needs to extend downward, which will shorten the length of the portion where the outer ring electrode 300 is connected to the second electrical connection end 320, thereby reducing the number of turns of the outer ring electrode 300 and causing the inductance of the stacked inductor element to decrease; based on the unchanged position of the second electrical connection end 320, if the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320 are respectively located on both sides of the mid-perpendicular line of the second side 330, the first electrical connection end 210 cannot extend above the mid-perpendicular line of the second side 330, which will shorten the length of the inner ring electrode 200, thereby reducing the number of turns of the inner ring electrode 200 and causing the inductance of the stacked inductor element to decrease.

[0077] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 2The inner ring electrode 200 includes a first outer contour line 203 and a second outer contour line 204. The first outer contour line 203 extends along the first direction and is connected to the first electrical connection end 210. The second outer contour line 204 is perpendicular to the first outer contour line 203 and is located between the first electrical connection end 210 and the second electrical connection end 320.

[0078] The outer ring electrode 300 includes a third outer contour line 301 and a fourth outer contour line 302. The third outer contour line 301 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first direction and is connected to the second electrical connection end 320. The fourth outer contour line 302 extends in the first direction, and the fourth outer contour line 302 and the second electrical connection end 320 are located on the same side of the perpendicular bisector of the second side 330.

[0079] The straight line where the first outer contour line 203 , the straight line where the second outer contour line 204 , the straight line where the third outer contour line 301 and the straight line where the fourth outer contour line 302 are located together enclose a setting area 410 , and at least a portion of the second electrical connection end 320 is located in the setting area 410 .

[0080] In this embodiment, the straight lines defining the first outer contour line 203, the second outer contour line 204, the third outer contour line 301, and the fourth outer contour line 302 collectively enclose a placement area 410 located at the corners of the rectangle encompassing the outer ring electrode 300. Extending at least a portion of the second electrical connection end 320 into the placement area 410 allows the outer ring electrode 300 to coil a full circle around the rectangular outline, thereby increasing the number of coil turns of the outer ring electrode 300 and enhancing the inductance of the multilayer inductor component. Of course, the second electrical connection end 320 may also be located outside the placement area 410, and this is not a limitation of this application.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, the second electrical connection end 320 is located at a corner of the rectangle in which the outer ring electrode 300 is located. The outer ring electrode 300 has a second side 330 connected to the second electrical connection end 320. The second side 330 is perpendicular to the first side 310. The diameter of the second electrical connection end 320 is greater than the width of the second side 330. In other words, the cross-section of the second electrical connection end 320 is circular. Of course, the cross-section of the second electrical connection end 320 can also be polygonal, elliptical, or other shapes, and this application is not limited to this.

[0082] The diameter of the second electrical connection end 320 here is greater than the width of the second side 330, so that the second electrical connection end 320 can radially protrude from the second side 330. When the upper and lower coil electrode layers are stacked, even if the upper and lower coil electrode layers are misaligned, due to the larger diameter of the second electrical connection end 320, the electrical connection ends of the upper and lower coil electrode layers can correspond to each other, so that the upper and lower coil electrode layers can be smoothly connected through the vias.

[0083] The second electrical connection end 320 is offset relative to the second side 330 toward the inner electrode 200 .

[0084] The coil electrodes, fabricated through printing, exposure, and development, are stacked on an insulating substrate, which is equipped with a plurality of inner electrodes 200 and a plurality of outer electrodes 300. Therefore, the insulating substrate needs to be cut into multiple insulating substrates 100, each of which is equipped with one inner electrode 200 and one outer electrode 300. If the second electrical connection end 320 is offset relative to the second edge 330, away from the inner electrode 200, the margin between the second electrical connection end 320 and the edge of the insulating substrate 100 is small. When cutting the insulating substrate, if the cut is skewed, the second electrical connection end 320 may be cut, i.e., the outer dimensions of the insulating substrate 100 may be cut too small. This will obviously cause the second electrical connection end 320 to radially protrude from the insulating substrate 100, thereby causing a short circuit between the coil electrodes and external components. Furthermore, cutting the second electrical connection end 320 may also damage the second electrical connection end 320. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second electrical connection end 320 is biased relative to the second edge 330 in the direction close to the inner ring electrode 200, thereby increasing the margin distance between the second electrical connection end 320 and the edge of the insulating base 100. In this way, when cutting the insulating substrate, even if the cutting is oblique, the risk of cutting the second electrical connection end 320 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the second electrical connection end 320 being exposed to the outside of the insulating base 100 or even being cut during cutting.

[0085] When the second electrical connection end 320 is biased toward the inner electrode 200, the distance between the second electrical connection end 320 and the inner electrode 200 is reduced. This reduced distance between the second electrical connection end 320 and the inner electrode 200 enhances the electric field coupling between the inner electrode 200 and the outer electrode 300, increasing parasitic capacitance and reducing the filtering effect of the multilayer inductor component on high-frequency signals. In an optional embodiment, the inner electrode 200 includes a relief portion 220. The relief portion 220 is arranged opposite to the second electrical connection end 320 in the first direction and is inclined away from the second electrical connection end 320. For example, the relief portion 220 may be flat.

[0086] In this embodiment, the inner ring electrode 200 includes a relief portion 220 that opposes the second electrical connection end 320 in a first direction. The relief portion 220 is tilted away from the second electrical connection end 320. This increases the distance between the second electrical connection end 320 and the inner ring electrode 200, thereby reducing electric field coupling between the inner ring electrode 200 and the outer ring electrode 300 and thereby reducing parasitic capacitance. Furthermore, since the second electrical connection end 320 in this embodiment is located at a corner of the rectangle surrounding the outer ring electrode 300, the relief portion 220 is also located at a corner of the inner ring electrode 200. This makes it easier to locate the relief portion 220 at a corner than to locate it in the middle of a rectangular side of the inner ring electrode 200, thereby simplifying the winding of the inner ring electrode 200.

[0087] In addition, placing the avoidance portion 220 at the corner does not significantly change the shape of the inner ring electrode 200, and can make the shape of the inner ring electrode 200 more regular, so that the magnetic field generated by the inner ring electrode 200 is more evenly distributed, thereby improving the consistency and stability of the inductance and ensuring the stability of the inductance value under different working conditions.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the inner ring electrode 200 has a third side, the third side extends along the first direction and is connected to the first electrical connection end 210, the diameter of the first electrical connection end 210 is greater than the width of the third side, and the first electrical connection end 210 is biased relative to the third side in a direction away from the outer ring electrode 300.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first electrical connection end 210 is biased relative to the third side in a direction away from the outer ring electrode 300, so that a larger distance is provided between the inner ring electrode 200 and the outer ring electrode 300, thereby reducing the electric field coupling between the inner ring electrode 200 and the outer ring electrode 300 and reducing parasitic capacitance.
