1Reliability

If conventional single-layer or simple multilayer structures are used for noise suppression, then manufacturing is simpler, but magnetic shielding characteristics are insufficient at high frequencies

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite multilayer structure consisting of alternating ferromagnetic metal layers and non-magnetic metal layers. This composite structure combines the high permeability of ferromagnetic materials (for magnetic flux guidance) with the electrical resistance of non-magnetic materials (for eddy current suppression), achieving superior magnetic shielding characteristics across wide frequency bands including high frequencies where conventional single-layer structures fail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The noise suppression sheet is segmented into multiple thin layers with specific thickness ranges (ferromagnetic layers: 0.03-0.5 μm, non-magnetic layers: 0.03-2 μm). This segmentation creates multiple interfaces that scatter and absorb electromagnetic noise while the thin layer configuration allows the sheet to maintain flexibility and conformability without compromising shielding performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If thicker metal layers are used to improve shielding effectiveness, then magnetic shielding characteristics improve, but the sheet becomes less flexible and harder to thin

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the thickness parameters of each layer to achieve the desired balance. By controlling ferromagnetic layer thickness at 0.03-0.5 μm and non-magnetic layer thickness at 0.03-2 μm, the total sheet thickness is minimized while maintaining effective magnetic shielding. The specific parameter ranges are determined to provide sufficient shielding performance with minimal thickness, enabling both high-frequency noise suppression and sheet flexibility.

AI summary

A noise suppression sheet comprises a non-magnetic metal layer, a plurality of metal magnetic layers, and a plurality of insulating layers, and the metal magnetic layer and the insulating layer are alternately laminated on the non-magnetic metal layer. The noise suppression sheet can absorb and suppress noise generated from a circuit or the like in an electronic component by being mounted on the electronic component or the like. In the noise suppression sheet, noise is absorbed by each of the metal magnetic layers. Noise that is transmitted without being absorbed by the metal magnetic layer can be reflected by the non-magnetic metal layer and can be absorbed again by the metal magnetic layer, and hence the noise suppression sheet can suppress noise effectively.
