【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、小型で薄型であり、かつ変形の少ないモータ用積層コイルに関する。
【0002】
電子機器の小型化にともない、各電子機器に用いられるモータも小型・薄型化の要求が強い。このようなモータとして例えば特開昭64−59902号には、セラミック粉末から得られたグリーンシート上に例えばスクリーン印刷技術などによりコイル導体パターンを形成してコイルシートとし、これを複数枚積層し、スルーホールによりコイル導体パターン間を導通させ、さらにコイル導体パターンとグリーンシートとを一体として焼成したブラシレスモータ用の積層コイルが開示されている。図9にその分解斜視図を示す。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような従来のコイルは、外部端子電極が形成されたグリーンシート基板60に複数のコイルシート61a、61bを積層している。積層後、コイルが形成された円形部分の厚みと外部端子電極が形成された矩形部分の厚みが異なり製造が困難であって、その積層コイルの形状は生産性に乏しい。また外部端子電極部分65の機械的強度を得る為に、コイル導体パターンが形成されていないグリーンシート60基板を厚く構成することが必要となり、その結果積層コイルの厚みが増加し、また外部端子電極部分65が積層コイルの面積を大きくし、その結果ブラシレスモータの外形寸法が大きくなるといった問題があった。
【0004】
また、コイル導体パターンはAgやCuなどで構成され、グリーンシートは例えばAlを主成分とする低温焼結可能なセラミック材料であって、セラミックス成分を工夫して低温焼結化させている。このようなグリーンシートとコイル導体パターンは互いに焼結収縮率が大きく、また収縮特性が異なる。一般にグリーンシートと、その表面に形成した導体パターンを一体焼成する際、まずAg,Cuなどの導体パターンを構成する導体が、そのガラス転移点に達した時点より収縮を開始する。続いてグリーンシートのセラミックスが、そのガラス転移点に達した時点より収縮を開始する。
このように収縮は導体パターンの方が先行し、導体が結晶化ピーク点を抑えると、その収縮はほぼ完了する。一方、セラミックスはその結晶化ピーク点が導体よりも更に高いため引き続き収縮し、結晶化ピーク点を迎えて収縮はほぼ完了する。
積層コイルに用いられるセラミックは、比較的低温で焼結が可能となるように、焼結の途中でガラスとなり易い成分、あるいは液相を形成しやすい成分を含んでいるため、焼結過程の後半における高密度化が進行する段階で、セラミック自体が柔らかくなり、前記セラミックと導体パターンの収縮特性の異なりによる焼結時の積層コイル内における応力の不均一な分布によって変形が生じる。
とりわけ、積層コイル内における導体パターンの配置が積層方向に非対称になっていると、導体パターンが積層方向に非対称に形成されている場合、導体パターンが集中している側の収縮と、集中していない側の収縮に差が生じ変形を生じていた。
そこで本発明は、小型・薄型でかつ変形の小さい積層コイルを提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
第1の発明は、絶縁体層を積層してなる積層体に導体パターンで形成したコイルからなる複数のコイル極と前記積層体の外表面に形成された前記コイル極と接続する入力端子電極及び出力端子電極とを一体化した矩形の積層コイルであって、前記入力端子電極及び出力端子電極は前記コイル極と積層方向に実質的に重ならない前記積層体の一主面上の隅部に形成され、前記積層体の他の主面上には前記コイル極と積層方向に重ならないが前記入力端子電極及び前記出力端子電極と積層方向に重なる変形抑止電極パターンが形成されている積層コイルである。
前記変形抑止電極パターンは前記入力端子電極及び前記出力端子電極と近似形状であるのが好ましい。本発明では積層コイルに形成される導体パターンの配置を積層方向に対称的に構成することで変形を抑制している。
また、矩形の積層コイルの一主面において、コイル極と積層方向に重複しないように主面の異なる四隅に入力端子と出力端子を形成すれば、実質的に積層コイルを大型化することが無く積層コイルを構成することが出来る。さらには、入出力端子を比較的大きく形成出来るので印刷回路基板との端子接続強度を向上させることも出来、コイル極が形成されない積層コイルの空きスペースを有効に使用することが出来る。
前記入力端子電極、出力端子電極とが積層コイルの同一主面に形成されているので、印刷回路基板(PCB)との接続を容易に、面実装化している。入力端子電極、出力端子電極は、それぞれLGA(Land Grid Array)やBGA(Ball Grid Array)とするのが好ましい。
本発明において、前記入力端子電極及び前記出力端子電極と前記変形抑止電極パターンとを、積層体に形成されたスールホール又は側面電極により接続すれば、積層コイルの両主面のどちらでも面実装可能となるので好ましい。また側面電極を形成すれば、その部分にもはんだが回り込み接続をより強固なものとすることが出来る。
【0006】
絶縁体層を積層してなる積層体に導体パターンで形成したスパイラルコイルからなる複数のコイル極と、前記積層体の一主面上に形成され前記コイル極と接続する入力端子電極及び出力端子電極とを一体化した矩形の積層コイルであって、前記スパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みをAとし、前記入力端子電極及び前記出力端子電極が形成された主面からスパイラルコイル間の第1のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層厚みをBとし、積層コイルの他の主面からスパイラルコイル間の第2のコイル未形成領域の絶縁層厚みをCとするとき、第1の導体パターン未形成領域の絶縁体層厚みBとスパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みAとの比が1≦(B/A)≦10であり、第2のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層厚みCとスパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みAとの比が1≦(C/A)≦10であり、絶縁体層厚みBと絶縁体層厚みCが実質的に等しい積層コイルである。
本発明において前記入力端子電極及び出力端子電極は前記コイル極と積層方向に実質的に重ならない前記積層体の一主面上の隅部に形成され、前記積層体の他の主面上には前記コイル極と積層方向に重ならないが前記入力端子電極及び前記出力端子電極と積層方向に重なる変形抑止電極パターンを形成するのが好ましい。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下本発明の一実施例に係る積層コイルついて説明する。
図1は本発明の一実施態様による積層コイルの斜視図である。この積層コイルは、低温焼成が可能なセラミック材料(LTCC材料)からなる厚さ数μm〜200μmのグリーンシート上にAgやCuなどを主体とする導電ペーストを印刷してコイルとなる所望の導体パターンを形成し、導体パターンを有するグリーンシートを適宜積層し、焼成することにより複数のコイル極を一体化したものである。前記コイルを形成するグリーンシートは、占積率を上げるため20μm以下のものを使用するのが好ましい。
積層コイルは矩形板状に形成され、その主面には前記コイル極と外部回路との接続用の入力端子電極IN、出力端子電極OUT1〜3を有し、他の主面には、前記入力・出力端子電極と近似形状で、入力・出力端子電極と積層方向に重なり合う変形抑止電極パターン310a〜dが形成されている。入力端子電極IN、出力端子電極OUT1〜3は矩形の積層コイルの4隅に、積層コイルに内含するコイル極と積層方向に重なり合わないように形成される。その形状は特に限定されるものではないが、実装基板とのはんだ付け強度を確保する点から、可能な限り大きな面積で形成するのが好ましく、本実施例では略三角形の電極パターンとして形成した。そして積層コイルを対称性よく構成するように変形抑止電極パターンを前記入力端子電極、出力端子電極と重なり合い、入力端子電極、出力端子電極と近似形状で形成している。その電極厚みも入力端子電極、出力端子電極と同様に形成するの好ましく、その厚みは8〜25μmである。本実施例においては、変形抑止電極パターンを積層コイルの主面にのみ形成しているが、コイルと同様に積層コイルに内包してもよい。そして、変形抑止電極パターンと入力端子電極、出力端子電極とを、積層コイルに内包するスルーホールや側面に形成した側面電極で電気的に接続するのが好ましい。図5は、積層コイルの四隅の各部にキャスタレーションを形成して、そこに入力端子電極、出力端子電極が形成された主面から変形抑止電極パターンが形成された他の主面に至る側面電極を形成したものである。このように形成すれば、実装基板への実装面を適宜選択することが出来、また側面電極があれば、はんだ付けをより強固なものにすることが出来る。また前記変形抑止電極パターンは必ずしも入力端子電極、出力端子電極と近似な形状でなくてもよく、変形を抑止するような形状を積層コイルに合わせて適宜形状を設定すれば良い。
【0008】
本発明に係る積層コイルでは、前記スパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みをAとし、前記入力端子電極及び前記出力端子電極が形成された主面からスパイラルコイル間の第1のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層厚みをBとし、積層コイルの他の主面からスパイラルコイル間の第2のコイル未形成領域の絶縁層厚みをCとするとき、第1の導体パターン未形成領域の絶縁体層厚みBとスパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みAとの比が1≦(B/A)≦10であり、第2のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層厚みCとスパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みAとの比が1≦(C/A)≦10であり、絶縁体層厚みBと絶縁体層厚みCが実質的に等しいことが好ましい。第1のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層と第2のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層の厚みが異なると、積層コイルにおける電極パターンの対称性が損なわれ、変形量が大きくなってしまい好ましくない。また第1のコイル未形成領域の絶縁体層と第2のコイル未形成領域の絶縁層の厚さB、Cは、スパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みA以上で前記厚さAの10倍以下の厚みであるのが好ましい。コイル未形成領域の絶縁層の厚さがスパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みよりも薄いと、圧着時に十分な圧力を積層コイルに作用させることが出来ずに、デラミネーションなどの構造欠陥が生じたり、無理に圧着しようとすると、コイルの変形や断線、コイル間の絶縁体層にクラック等が生じたりするので好ましくない。また、絶縁体層厚みAの10倍よりも厚く形成しても、単に積層コイルが厚くなるのみであり、積層コイルを所定の厚みとするとコイルを形成する絶縁体層を減じねばならず、その結果コイル巻き数が減じ、所望のトルク特性が得られなくなるので好ましくない。
【0009】
本発明に係る積層コイルの製造方法の一例を図6及び図7を用いて説明する。まずドクターブレード法などの公知のシート成形方法により、セラミックス粉末、バインダ、及び可塑剤よりなるセラミックスラリーを、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムからなるキャリアフィルム上に均一な厚さで塗布し、数十μmから数百μmのグリーンシートを形成する。そして乾燥後のグリーンシートを、キャリアシートが付いたまま所定の寸法に裁断する。セラミックス粉末としては、例えばAlを主成分としSiO、SrO、CaO、PbO、NaO及びKOの少なくとも1種を複成分とする低温焼結可能な誘電体材料であり、また他の例では、Alを主成分としMgO、SiO及びGdOの少なくとも1種を複成分として含む低温焼結可能な誘電体材料である。また他の例では、Bi、Y、CaCO、Fe、In及びVの少なくとも1種を含む低温焼結可能な磁性セラミック材料であって、セラミックス成分を工夫して低温焼結化させている。
本実施例においては、主成分がAl,Si,Sr,Tiの酸化物で構成され、Al,Si,Sr,TiをそれぞれAl、SiO、SrO、TiOに換算し合計100質量%としたとき、Al換算で10〜60質量%、SiO換算で25〜60質量%、SrO換算で7.5〜50質量%、TiO換算で20質量%以下のAl,Si,Sr,Tiを含有し、前記合計100質量%に対し副成分として、Bi換算で0.1〜10質量%のBiを含有する誘電体セラミックスを用いた。この誘電体セラミックスの基本特性は、誘電率が7〜9で、JIS R 1601で規定される曲げ強さ試験方法の3点曲げ(試料形状 長さ36mm、幅4mm、厚さ3mm、支点間距離30mm)による抗折強度が240MPa以上であり、ヤング率が110GPa以上であり、LTCC材料としては高い抗折強度とヤング率を備えるものである。
【0010】
このようなグリーンシートに後述するコイル(図示せず)や入出力端子等を導体パターンにより形成し、所定の順序に積層・圧着し、厚さがほぼ0.4mmの平板状積層体300とした。そして前記積層体の入力端子IN、出力端子OUT1、OUT2、OUT3、前記入力端子とコイル極との接続の為の導体パターン210、201a、201b、201cが形成された主面と反対側の主面上に前記コイル極と積層方向に重ならないが前記入力端子電極及び出力端子電極と積層方向に重なり、実質的に等しい形状の電極パターン310a、310b、310c、310dを、導体ペーストの印刷や転写により形成した。また同一面上に同相のコイル極を直列に接続する第2の接続線路300a、300b、300cを形成している。前記グリーンシートにはスルーホール(図示せず)が形成されており、シート間の導体パターンが適宜接続され、コイル極として機能するように構成される。
その後、前記積層体のモータ回転軸の回転中心となる部分を金型により打ち抜いたり、レーザ加工処理を行いφ2mmの貫通孔10を形成した。
そして、平板状積層体の主面に互いに平行な複数の分割溝とこの分割溝320と直交する複数の分割溝320を、それぞれほぼ0.1mmの深さとなるように鋼刃で刻設した。前記分割溝の深さは、分割のし易さや、取り扱い易さ等から、50μm〜300μmの範囲で適宜設定される。その後、平板状成形体を脱脂・焼結して65mm×60mm×0.3mmの積層基板300(積層コイルの集合体)とした。前記積層基板300の外表面には積層コイルの入出力端子等が形成されており、これに無電解めっきによりNiめっき、Auめっきを施した。めっき処理の後分割溝にそって分割して、外形寸法が図1に示す8mm×8mm×0.3mmのブラシレスモータ用積層コイル1とした。
【0011】
次に図2を参照して本発明の一実施例に係る積層コイルの内部構造を積層順に詳細に説明する。この積層コイルは3相駆動電源を用いるブラシレスモータ用の積層コイルであり、図3に示す等価回路を有するものである。
まず最下層の第1層の裏面には、同相のコイル極を接続するための第2の接続線路300a、300b、300cが形成されている。これら第2の接続線路はそれそれ後述するモータ回転軸の周りに等角度間隔で配置され、前記モータ回転軸を中心とする2つの円弧状部と、モータ回転軸中心から放射状に形成され前記2つ円弧状部を接続する放射状部を有している。
本実施例においては、第2の接続線路を前記のように構成してモータ回転軸の回転中心に180°で回転対称な位置に配置される同相のコイル極を接続するようにしているが、前記2つの円弧状部をモータ回転軸を中心とする円周上に配置することでモータの回転特性を阻害せず、わずかであるがトルク特性を向上させることが出来る。また前記第2の接続線路を積層体外部に形成しているが、コイル極と同様に積層体内部に導電ペーストを印刷して形成してもよい。
そして、積層コイルの主面の4隅には三角形状の変形抑止導体パターン310a、310b、310c、310dが形成されている。これらの電極パターンは、もう一方の主面に形成された入力端子電極、出力端子電極と積層方向に重なる部位に形成され、前記入力端子電極、出力端子電極と近似形状をしている。
【0012】
そして第1層には複数のコイルが形成される。前記コイルはモータ回転軸の周りに等角度間隔で配置され複数相のコイル極を形成する。第1層に形成された複数のコイルは3相のコイル極となる6つのコイル251g、252g、253g、251h、252h、253hがそれぞれ60°間隔で同一層上に形成されている。
そして、前記コイルは内周側から外周側へと時計方向に巻回され外周端部に他層のコイルと接続する為のスルーホール部(図面中黒丸で表示)を有する第1のコイル251h、252h、253hと、外周側から内周側へと時計方向に巻回され内周端部に他層のコイルと接続する為のスルーホール部が形成された第2のコイル251g、252g、253gで構成される。第1のコイルと第2のコイルはモータ回転軸の周りに図示するように交互に配置される。
本実施例においてはモータ回転軸に対して180°の回転対称の位置にあるコイルは前記第2の接続線路により電気的に直列に接続され同相のコイル極となる。すなわち第1のコイル251hと第2のコイル251gが第2の接続線路300aにより接続され、第1のコイル252hと第2のコイル252gが第2の接続線路300bにより接続され、第1のコイル253hと第2のコイル253gが第2の接続線路300cにより接続され、それぞれ異なる相のコイル極を構成する。つまり接続線路300aは図3に示す第2相のコイル極61の中点を、接続線路300bは第1相のコイル極60の中点を、そして接続線路300cは第3相のコイル極62の中点をそれぞれ構成しているのである。
【0013】
第1層の上層には、複数のコイルが形成された第2層が配置される。この複数のコイルはモータ回転軸の周りに3相のコイル極となる6つのコイル251e、252e、253e、251f、252f、253fが60°間隔で同一層上に形成されており、それぞれ4ターン巻回されたスパイラル状コイルとなっている。ここで、第1層に形成されたコイルが内周側から外周側へと時計方向に巻回された第1のコイルであれば、このコイルと積層方向に重なり合う第2層に形成されるコイルは、外周側から内周側へと時計方向に巻回された第2のコイルとして形成され、また第1層に形成されたコイルが第2のコイルであれば、その上方に配置される第2層には第1のコイルが形成され、そしてそれぞれがスルーホールにより接続され、同じ巻回方向に接続される。
【0014】
第3層は前記第1層と、第4層は前記第2層と実質的に同様に構成され、順次積層される。第1〜4層に形成され、積層方向に重なり合う同相のスパイラル状コイルは、内周側から外周側へと時計方向に巻回された第1のコイルと、前記第1のコイルの外周端と接続し外周側から内周側へと時計方向に巻回された第2のコイルとで構成して同じ巻回方向としているので、第1のコイルと第2のコイルとに一定な方向に電流が印可されるひとつのコイル極として動作する。本実施例においてはコイル極の巻数をより多くし、モータを高トルク化するように、一つのコイルで4ターン巻き回し、かつ平面的に異なる領域に形成された同相のコイル極を電気的に接続して、1相あたりのコイルの巻き数を32ターンとしている。コイルの巻き数は、コイルが形成された各層の積層数を増減すれば容易に所望のコイルの巻き数を調整することが出来る。上記のようにコイルを積層方向に対称配置し、収縮に差が極力生じない様に構成した。
【0015】
そして、その上層に積層される第5層には、コイルを形成するのと同じ導電ペーストを印刷して入力端子電極INと出力端子電極OUT1〜3と、コイル極を接続する第1の接続線路を形成した。前記第1の接続線路は前記積層体の略中央部に形成される貫通孔10を囲むように形成された環状導体部210と、前記環状導体部と入力端子との接続を行う第1の導体部200と、前記環状導体部210から延出しコイル極との接続を行う第2の導体部201a〜cとで構成される。
このようにして図4に二点破線でコイル間の接続状態を示すように、入力端子INから出力端子OUT1間に配置される第1相のコイル極60をコイル252a〜252hで形成し、入力端子INから出力端子OUT2間に配置される第2相のコイル極61をコイル251a〜251hで形成し、入力端子INから出力端子OUT3間に配置される第3相のコイル極62をコイル253a〜253hで形成した。
前記積層体の略中央部に形成された貫通孔10の中心が回転子の軸の中心とほぼ一致する。前記貫通孔10は積層体を金型により打ち抜いたり、レーザ加工などにより形成される。
以上のようにして、8mm×8mm×0.3mmのブラシレスモータ用積層コイルを作成した。なお、積層コイルの主面にオーバーコートガラスでコート層を形成するのも本発明の範囲内である。
【0016】
上記のような工程を経て、表1に示す層構成にて積層コイルを作製した。ここに示す積層コイルはすべてそのスパイラルコイル間の絶縁体層厚みをグリーシート厚みで20μmとしている。なお表中の厚みはすべてグリーシート厚みで示している。試料No.1は第1のコイルパターン未形成領域厚みAと第2のコイルパターン未形成厚みBとを異ならせて構成し、変形抑制電極パターンを有さない本発明の比較例であり、試料Noに括弧を付した。試料No.2は積層構成は試料No.1と同様であるが変形抑制電極パターンを積層コイルの主面に形成した実施例であり、試料No.3は第1のコイルパターン未形成領域厚みAと第2のコイルパターン未形成厚みBとを等しく構成し、変形抑制電極パターンを有さない本発明の実施例であり、試料No.4は積層構成は試料No.3と同様であるが変形抑制電極パターンを積層コイルの主面に形成した実施例である。

表1で示した層構成を有する積層コイルの変形(反り量)を評価した。評価方法は、レーザ光線を利用して測定物の高さを非接触で測定することが出来る3次元CNC画像測定器を用い、積層コイルの入力、出力端子電極が形成された主面側を縁部と平行に100μmピッチで掃引して80×80点(6400点)測定し、その最大値と最小値の差を被測定物の反り量とした。これを各試料毎に10枚づつ測定して各試料の反り量を平均値、最大値、最小値として表2に示す。実装基板に積層コイルを直接搭載する場合には、その反り量を150μm以下とするのが好ましいが、本発明の実施例においてはすべて150μm以下の反り量とすることが出来た。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a laminated coil for a motor that is small, thin, and has little deformation.
[0002]
As electronic devices become smaller, there is a strong demand for smaller and thinner motors used in each electronic device. As such a motor, for example, JP-A-64-59902 discloses that a coil conductor pattern is formed on a green sheet obtained from ceramic powder by, for example, a screen printing technique to form a coil sheet. A laminated coil for a brushless motor is disclosed in which through-holes conduct between coil conductor patterns and furthermore, the coil conductor patterns and the green sheets are integrally fired. FIG. 9 shows an exploded perspective view thereof.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a conventional coil, a plurality of coil sheets 61a and 61b are laminated on a green sheet substrate 60 on which external terminal electrodes are formed. After lamination, the thickness of the circular portion where the coil is formed is different from the thickness of the rectangular portion where the external terminal electrodes are formed, making it difficult to manufacture, and the shape of the laminated coil is poor in productivity. Further, in order to obtain the mechanical strength of the external terminal electrode portion 65, it is necessary to make the green sheet 60 substrate on which the coil conductor pattern is not formed thick, and as a result, the thickness of the laminated coil increases, and the external terminal electrode There is a problem that the portion 65 increases the area of the laminated coil, and as a result, the outer dimensions of the brushless motor increase.

The coil conductor pattern is made of Ag, Cu or the like, and the green sheet is a low-temperature sinterable ceramic material containing, for example, Al 2 O 3 as a main component. I have. Such a green sheet and a coil conductor pattern have a large sintering shrinkage ratio and different shrinkage characteristics. Generally, when a green sheet and a conductor pattern formed on the surface of the green sheet are integrally fired, the conductor constituting the conductor pattern, such as Ag or Cu, starts to contract from the time when the glass transition point is reached. Subsequently, the ceramic of the green sheet starts shrinking when the glass transition point is reached.
As described above, the contraction precedes the conductor pattern. When the conductor suppresses the crystallization peak point, the contraction is almost completed. On the other hand, the ceramic has a crystallization peak point higher than that of the conductor, and thus contracts continuously.
The ceramic used for the laminated coil contains a component that easily becomes glass during sintering or a component that easily forms a liquid phase so that sintering can be performed at a relatively low temperature. As the densification progresses, the ceramic itself becomes softer and deforms due to uneven distribution of stress in the laminated coil during sintering due to the difference in shrinkage characteristics between the ceramic and the conductor pattern.
In particular, if the arrangement of the conductor patterns in the laminated coil is asymmetrical in the laminating direction, if the conductor patterns are formed asymmetrically in the laminating direction, shrinkage and concentration of the side where the conductor patterns are concentrated are likely to occur. There was a difference in shrinkage on the non-existing side, resulting in deformation.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a laminated coil that is small, thin, and small in deformation.

And a deformation preventing electrode pattern which does not overlap with the coil pole in the stacking direction but overlaps with the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode in the stacking direction on the other main surface of the stack. .
It is preferable that the deformation suppressing electrode pattern has an approximate shape to the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode. In the present invention, deformation is suppressed by arranging the conductor patterns formed on the laminated coil symmetrically in the laminating direction.
Also, on one main surface of the rectangular laminated coil, if the input terminal and the output terminal are formed at four different corners of the main surface so as not to overlap with the coil pole in the laminating direction, the laminated coil is not substantially enlarged. A laminated coil can be configured. Furthermore, since the input / output terminals can be formed relatively large, the terminal connection strength with the printed circuit board can be improved, and the empty space of the laminated coil where the coil pole is not formed can be used effectively.
Since the input terminal electrodes and the output terminal electrodes are formed on the same main surface of the laminated coil, the connection with the printed circuit board (PCB) is easily surface-mounted. The input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode are preferably LGA (Land Grid Array) and BGA (Ball Grid Array), respectively.
In the present invention, if the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode are connected to the deformation suppressing electrode pattern by a through hole or a side electrode formed in a laminate, surface mounting can be performed on both main surfaces of the laminated coil. Is preferable. Further, if the side surface electrode is formed, the solder can also flow around the portion to make the connection stronger.

[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a laminated coil according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a laminated coil according to an embodiment of the present invention. This laminated coil is formed by printing a conductive paste mainly composed of Ag, Cu, or the like on a green sheet having a thickness of several μm to 200 μm made of a ceramic material (LTCC material) that can be fired at a low temperature. Are formed, green sheets having a conductor pattern are appropriately laminated, and fired to integrate a plurality of coil poles. It is preferable to use a green sheet for forming the coil having a thickness of 20 μm or less in order to increase the space factor.
The laminated coil is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and has an input terminal electrode IN for connection between the coil pole and an external circuit and output terminal electrodes OUT1 to 3 on its main surface, and the input terminal electrode OUT1 to 3 on its other main surface. Deformation suppressing electrode patterns 310a to 310d are formed so as to have an approximate shape to the output terminal electrodes and to overlap the input / output terminal electrodes in the laminating direction. The input terminal electrode IN and the output terminal electrodes OUT1 to OUT3 are formed at the four corners of the rectangular laminated coil so as not to overlap with the coil pole included in the laminated coil in the laminating direction. Although the shape is not particularly limited, it is preferably formed as large as possible from the viewpoint of securing the soldering strength with the mounting board. In this embodiment, the electrode pattern is formed as a substantially triangular electrode pattern. Then, the deformation suppressing electrode pattern overlaps with the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode and is formed in an approximate shape with the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode so as to configure the laminated coil with good symmetry. The electrode thickness is preferably formed in the same manner as the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode, and the thickness is 8 to 25 μm. In the present embodiment, the deformation suppressing electrode pattern is formed only on the main surface of the laminated coil, but may be included in the laminated coil similarly to the coil. It is preferable that the deformation suppressing electrode pattern and the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode are electrically connected to each other by a through hole included in the laminated coil or a side electrode formed on a side surface. FIG. 5 shows castellations formed at the four corners of the laminated coil, and side electrodes extending from the main surface on which the input terminal electrodes and the output terminal electrodes are formed to the other main surface on which the deformation suppressing electrode pattern is formed. Is formed. With such a configuration, the surface to be mounted on the mounting substrate can be appropriately selected, and if side electrodes are provided, the soldering can be made stronger. Further, the deformation suppressing electrode pattern does not necessarily have to have an approximate shape to the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode, and the shape for suppressing the deformation may be appropriately set according to the laminated coil.
[0008]
In the laminated coil according to the present invention, the thickness of the insulator layer between the spiral coils is A, and the insulation of the first coil non-formed region between the spiral coil and the main surface on which the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode are formed is provided. When the thickness of the body layer is B and the thickness of the insulating layer in the second coil non-formed area between the other main surface of the laminated coil and the spiral coil is C, the thickness of the insulating layer in the first conductive pattern unformed area is B And the ratio of the insulator layer thickness A between the spiral coils is 1 ≦ (B / A) ≦ 10, and the insulator layer thickness C in the region where the second coil is not formed and the insulator layer thickness A between the spiral coils are: Is preferably 1 ≦ (C / A) ≦ 10, and the insulator layer thickness B and the insulator layer thickness C are preferably substantially equal. If the thickness of the insulator layer in the first coil non-formed area is different from the thickness of the insulator layer in the second coil non-formed area, the symmetry of the electrode pattern in the laminated coil is impaired and the amount of deformation is undesirably increased. . The thicknesses B and C of the insulator layer in the first coil non-formation area and the insulation layer in the second coil non-formation area are not less than the thickness A of the insulator between the spiral coils and not more than 10 times the thickness A. It is preferable that the thickness is If the thickness of the insulating layer in the area where the coil is not formed is smaller than the thickness of the insulating layer between the spiral coils, sufficient pressure cannot be applied to the laminated coil during crimping, causing structural defects such as delamination. However, forcible pressure bonding is not preferable because deformation and disconnection of the coil and cracks and the like occur in the insulator layer between the coils. Further, even if the laminated coil is formed thicker than 10 times the insulator layer thickness A, the laminated coil simply becomes thicker. If the laminated coil has a predetermined thickness, the number of insulator layers forming the coil must be reduced. As a result, the number of coil turns is reduced, and desired torque characteristics cannot be obtained.

Formed. Further, second connection lines 300a, 300b, 300c for connecting in-phase coil poles in series are formed on the same surface. A through hole (not shown) is formed in the green sheet, and a conductor pattern between the sheets is appropriately connected, so that the green sheet functions as a coil pole.
Thereafter, a portion of the laminate, which is to be the rotation center of the motor rotation shaft, was punched out by a die or laser-processed to form a through hole 10 having a diameter of 2 mm.
Then, a plurality of divided grooves parallel to each other and a plurality of divided grooves 320 orthogonal to the divided grooves 320 were engraved on the main surface of the plate-shaped laminate with a steel blade so as to have a depth of approximately 0.1 mm. The depth of the division groove is appropriately set in the range of 50 μm to 300 μm from the viewpoint of easy division and easy handling.

By arranging the two arc-shaped portions on the circumference around the motor rotation axis, the torque characteristics can be slightly improved without hindering the rotation characteristics of the motor. Although the second connection line is formed outside the laminate, the second connection line may be formed by printing a conductive paste inside the laminate similarly to the coil pole.

The second coil is connected and wound in a clockwise direction from the outer side to the inner side and has the same winding direction. Therefore, the current flows in the first coil and the second coil in a fixed direction. Operate as one coil pole to which is applied. In the present embodiment, the number of turns of the coil pole is increased, and one coil is wound four turns so as to increase the torque of the motor. By connecting, the number of turns of the coil per phase is 32 turns. The number of turns of the coil can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of layers of each layer on which the coil is formed. As described above, the coils were arranged symmetrically in the laminating direction so that the difference in shrinkage was minimized.

The evaluation method uses a three-dimensional CNC image measuring device that can measure the height of the object without contact using a laser beam, and rims the main surface side of the laminated coil where the input and output terminal electrodes are formed. The measurement was performed at 80 × 80 points (6400 points) by sweeping at a pitch of 100 μm in parallel with the portion, and the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value was defined as the amount of warpage of the measured object. This is measured for each of the ten samples, and the amount of warpage of each sample is shown in Table 2 as an average value, a maximum value, and a minimum value. When the laminated coil is directly mounted on the mounting substrate, the amount of warpage is preferably set to 150 μm or less, but in all of the examples of the present invention, the amount of warp could be set to 150 μm or less.
