Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional magnetic composite materials fail to simultaneously achieve high magnetic permeability and low magnetic loss in high frequency bands, particularly in GHz frequencies.

Innovation Solution

A composite magnetic body comprising metal particles with Fe or Fe and Co as the main component, a resin, and voids, where the metal particles have an average major axis diameter of 30 to 500 nm, an aspect ratio of 1.5 to 10, and a saturation magnetization of 300 to 600 emu/cm3, with voids present at 0.2 to 10 area % and an average equivalent circle diameter of 1 μm or less, is developed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If magnetic metal particles with high magnetic permeability are used, then magnetic permeability is improved, but magnetic loss increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic permeabilityVSAvoidmagnetic loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the size parameter of magnetic particles to the nanometer scale (30-500 nm) and controls their aspect ratio (1.5-10), which fundamentally alters the magnetic properties. This parameter change enables achieving high magnetic permeability while suppressing magnetic loss in the GHz frequency range, resolving the contradiction between these two properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite magnetic body by dispersing magnetic metal particles in a resin matrix. This composite structure allows the magnetic particles to provide high permeability while the resin binder suppresses eddy current losses, thereby achieving both high magnetic permeability and low magnetic loss simultaneously.

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional magnetic composite materials are used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but magnetic loss increases at high frequencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidmagnetic loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies precise parameter ranges for magnetic particles (size: 30-500 nm, aspect ratio: 1.5-10) that enable both ease of manufacture through screen printing and low magnetic loss at high frequencies. These parameter changes allow the material to be processed using conventional techniques while achieving superior high-frequency performance.

3Adaptability or versatility

If magnetic materials are miniaturized for compact shapes, then adaptability is improved, but magnetic loss increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses nanometer-scale magnetic particles (30-500 nm) with controlled aspect ratios that can be densely packed in compact shapes while maintaining low magnetic loss. The small particle size enables miniaturization and complex shape formation without increasing magnetic loss, unlike conventional larger particles.
