Solution Overview

Problem

Existing magnetic shields, such as those described in JP 2017-199871A, suffer from reduced permeability in the thickness direction due to the interposition of non-magnetic metal films, leading to inadequate shielding in low-frequency regions.

Innovation Solution

A noise suppression sheet with a first magnetic layer composed of alternating first and second regions, where the second region has a higher concentration of a third metal component than the first region, enhancing permeability and reducing resistance, thereby improving shielding effectiveness, especially in low-frequency regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a non-magnetic metal film is interposed between magnetic layers, then the structure is simplified and manufacturing is easier, but permeability in the thickness direction is reduced, causing lack of shielding effect in low-frequency region

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidshielding effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating regions with different third metal component concentrations within the magnetic layer. High-concentration regions provide low resistance for electrical connectivity, while low-concentration regions maintain high permeability for magnetic field shielding, allowing each region to optimize its local function without requiring separate non-magnetic metal films

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining Ni-Fe alloy with varying concentrations of a third metal component (Cu, Ag, or Au) within a single magnetic layer. This composite structure achieves both low resistance and high permeability properties within one layer, eliminating the need for multi-layer constructions with non-magnetic separators

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If multiple magnetic layers are stacked to improve shielding, then shielding effect is enhanced, but permeability in the thickness direction is reduced due to non-magnetic films, causing lack of shielding in low-frequency region

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding effectVSAvoidpermeability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by varying the concentration of the third metal component within the magnetic layer to create a gradient structure. This continuous parameter variation allows optimization of both resistance and permeability without the discrete interruptions caused by non-magnetic films, maintaining stable permeability across the layer thickness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If uniform metal composition is used in magnetic layer, then manufacturing is simpler, but resistance is high and permeability is not optimized, reducing shielding effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidshielding effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by dividing the magnetic layer into regions with different third metal component concentrations. This allows different areas to have optimized properties: high-concentration regions for electrical conductivity and low-concentration regions for magnetic permeability, achieving superior shielding effectiveness without significantly complicating manufacturing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A noise suppression sheet that includes a first magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer includes a plurality of first regions stacked in a thickness direction of the noise suppression sheet and a second region positioned between the first regions. The first magnetic layer includes a first metal component of Ni, a second metal component of Fe, and a third metal component other than Ni and Fe. The concentration of the third metal component in the second region is higher than the concentration of the third metal component in the first regions.
