METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN INDUCTOR COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521878 titled 'METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN INDUCTOR COMPONENT
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves manufacturing an inductor component using a photosensitive insulating paste and a conductive paste. Here are the key points of the innovation:
- Preparation of insulating paste with quartz, glass material, and resin material
- Formation of a first insulating layer by applying the insulating paste
- Exposing the first insulating layer with a mask to create a groove
- Removal of a portion of the first insulating layer to form the groove
- Application of conductive paste in the groove to form a coil conductor layer
- Application of a second insulating layer over the first insulating layer and the coil conductor layer
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of inductor components for electronic devices - Production of custom inductors for specific circuit requirements
Problems Solved: - Efficient manufacturing process for inductor components - Precise formation of coil conductor layers
Benefits: - Improved performance of inductor components - Cost-effective production method
Potential Commercial Applications: - Electronics manufacturing industry - Automotive electronics sector
Possible Prior Art: - Traditional methods of inductor component manufacturing using manual processes
Unanswered Questions:
Title: What are the specific materials used in the insulating paste? Answer: The insulating paste includes quartz, glass material, and resin material.
Title: How does the photosensitive property of the insulating paste contribute to the manufacturing process? Answer: The photosensitive property allows for precise exposure and removal of the insulating layer to create grooves for the coil conductor layer.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of manufacturing an inductor component includes preparing an insulating paste that is photosensitive and that includes a filler material composed of quartz, a glass material and a resin material, and a conductive paste, forming a first insulating layer by applying the insulating paste, and exposing the first insulating layer in a state where a first portion of the first insulating layer is shielded by a mask. The method further includes removing the first portion of the first insulating layer to form a groove at a position corresponding to the first portion, applying the conductive paste in the groove to form a coil conductor layer in the groove, and applying the insulating paste on the first insulating layer and the coil conductor layer to form a second insulating layer.
