Abstract

See full text

A monolithic multilayer ultra thin chip inductor is manufactured with two terminals on the same end of the component to reduce the mechanical stresses caused by a coefficient of expansion mismatch. A third no-connect terminal located on the opposite end may be used to mount the component when a more rigid connection is required. The inductor is constructed using a bottom and top coil layer, each having a coil and forming a termination point corresponding to the inductor terminals. The opposite ends of the coils form connection ends and are electrically connected to form a continuous coil from one terminal to the other. Optionally, a number of intermediate coil layers can be included between the bottom and top coil layers. The coil layers are selected from a set of coil layers. As a result, the total number of coil turns can be obtained by selecting the appropriate coil layers.
