Title: Coil component

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
     This application claims benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0162560 filed on Dec. 9, 2019 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to a coil component. 
     BACKGROUND 
     An inductor, a coil component, is a typical passive electronic component used in electronic devices, along with a resistor and a capacitor. 
     In the case of a thin film type inductor, a magnetic composite sheet including magnetic metal powder particles is stacked and cured on a substrate on which a coil portion is formed using a plating process, to form a body, and external electrodes are formed on a surface of the body. 
     In the case of a thin film type coil component which may be one of coil components, a coil portion may be formed on a support substrate by a thin film process such as a plating process or the like, one or more magnetic composite sheets may be stacked on the support substrate on which the coil portion is formed to form a body, and an external electrode may be formed on the body. 
     The coil portion of the thin film type coil component may form a seed layer on the support substrate, and may form a plating layer by an electroplating process. Specifically, the coil portion may be formed by first forming a seed layer having a shape corresponding to the coil portion on one surface of the support substrate, forming a plating resist, and performing an electroplating process. Alternatively, the coil portion may be formed by forming a seed layer on the entire surface of the support substrate, forming a plating resist, performing an electroplating process, removing the plating resist, and removing a region, except for a region in which an electroplating layer is formed. 
     In the latter method, a post-process for removing the plating resist and the seed layer is generally performed, but there may be a problem that poor insulation may occur due to a seed layer remaining between the coil portions. 
     SUMMARY 
     An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a coil component capable of preventing poor insulation between coil portions, and securing fixing force with a support substrate without a seed layer. 
     According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a coil component includes a support substrate having one surface including at least one groove portion; a coil portion disposed to contact the one surface of the support substrate; and a body embedding the support substrate and the coil portion, wherein the coil portion has an anchor portion disposed in the at least one groove portion, and a pattern portion disposed on the anchor portion and spaced apart from the one surface of the support substrate. Aline width of the anchor portion is narrower than a line width of the pattern portion.

     Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 4 , a coil component  1000  according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a body  100 , a support substrate  200 , and a coil portion  300 , and may further include an insulating layer  400 , and external electrodes  500  and  600 . 
     The body  100  may form an exterior of the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment, and may embed the support substrate  200  and the coil portion  300  therein. 
     The body  100  may be formed to have a hexahedral shape overall. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 3 , the body  100  may include a first surface  101  and a second surface  102  opposing each other in a length direction X, a third surface  103  and a fourth surface  104  opposing each other in a width direction Y, and a fifth surface  105  and a sixth surface  106  opposing each other in a thickness direction Z. Each of the first to fourth surfaces  101 ,  102 ,  103 , and  104  of the body  100  may correspond to wall surfaces of the body  100  connecting the fifth surface  105  and the sixth surface  106  of the body  100 . 
     The body  100  may be formed such that the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment in which the external electrodes  500  and  600  to be described later are formed has a length of 2.0 mm, a width of 1.2 mm, and a thickness of 0.65 mm, but is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the body  100  may be formed such that the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment in which the external electrodes  500  and  600  to be described later are formed has a length of 2.0 mm, a width of 1.6 mm, and a thickness of 0.55 mm. Alternatively, the body  100  may be formed such that the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment in which the external electrodes  500  and  600  to be described later are formed has a length of 2.0 mm, a width of 1.2 mm, and a thickness of 0.55 mm. Alternatively, the body  100  may be formed such that the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment in which the external electrodes  500  and  600  to be described later are formed has a length of 1.2 mm, a width of 1.0 mm, and a thickness of 0.55 mm. Since the above-described sizes of the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment are merely illustrative, cases in which sizes are other than the above-mentioned sizes may be not excluded from the scope of the present disclosure. 
     The body  100  may include a magnetic powder particle and an insulating resin. Specifically, the body  100  may be formed by stacking one or more magnetic composite sheets including the insulating resin and the magnetic powder particle dispersed in the insulating resin, and then curing the magnetic composite sheets. The body  100  may have a structure other than the structure in which the magnetic powder particle may be dispersed in the insulating resin. For example, the body  100  may be made of a magnetic material such as ferrite. 
     The magnetic powder particle may be, for example, a ferrite powder particle or a metal magnetic powder particle. 
     Examples of the ferrite powder particle may include at least one or more of spinel type ferrites such as Mg—Zn-based ferrite, Mn—Zn-based ferrite, Mn—Mg-based ferrite, Cu—Zn-based ferrite, Mg—Mn—Sr-based ferrite, Ni—Zn-based ferrite, and the like, hexagonal ferrites such as Ba—Zn-based ferrite, Ba—Mg-based ferrite, Ba—Ni-based ferrite, Ba—Co-based ferrite, Ba—Ni—Co-based ferrite, and the like, garnet type ferrites such as Y-based ferrite, and the like, and Li-based ferrites. 
     The metal magnetic powder particle may include one or more selected from the group consisting of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), niobium (Nb), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni). For example, the metal magnetic powder particle may be at least one or more of a pure iron powder, a Fe—Si-based alloy powder, a Fe—Si—Al-based alloy powder, a Fe—Ni-based alloy powder, a Fe—Ni—Mo-based alloy powder, a Fe—Ni—Mo—Cu-based alloy powder, a Fe—Co-based alloy powder, a Fe—Ni—Co-based alloy powder, a Fe—Cr-based alloy powder, a Fe—Cr—Si-based alloy powder, a Fe—Si—Cu—Nb-based alloy powder, a Fe—Ni—Cr-based alloy powder, and a Fe—Cr—Al-based alloy powder. 
     The metallic magnetic powder particle may be amorphous or crystalline. For example, the metal magnetic powder particle may be a Fe—Si—B—Cr-based amorphous alloy powder, but is not limited thereto. 
     The ferrite powder and the metal magnetic powder particle may have an average diameter of about 0.1 μm to 30 μm, respectively, but are not limited thereto. 
     The body  100  may include two or more types of magnetic powder particles dispersed in an insulating resin. In this case, the term “different types of magnetic powder particle” means that the magnetic powder particles dispersed in the insulating resin are distinguished from each other by diameter, composition, crystallinity, and a shape. For example, the body  100  may include two or more magnetic powder particles of different diameters. 
     The insulating resin may include an epoxy, a polyimide, a liquid crystal polymer, or the like, in a single form or in combined forms, but is not limited thereto. 
     The body  100  may include a core  110  passing through the support substrate  200  and the coil portion  300  to be described later. The core  110  may be formed by filling at least a portion of the magnetic composite sheet with through-holes of the coil portion  300  in operations of stacking and curing the magnetic composite sheet, but is not limited thereto. 
     The support substrate  200  may have one surface and the other surface opposing each other, and may be embedded in the body  100 , together with the coil portion  300  to be described later. The support substrate  200  may be configured to support the coil portion  300 . In this embodiment, for convenience of description, the one surface of the support substrate  200  may be described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the description of the one surface of the support substrate  200  may be similarly applied to the other surface of the support substrate  200 . 
     The support substrate  200  may be formed of an insulating material including a thermosetting insulating resin such as an epoxy resin, a thermoplastic insulating resin such as polyimide, or a photosensitive insulating resin, or may be formed of an insulating material in which a reinforcing material such as a glass fiber or an inorganic filler is impregnated with such an insulating resin. For example, the support substrate  200  may be formed of an insulating material such as a copper clad laminate (CCL), prepreg, Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), FR-4, a bismaleimide triazine (BT) film, a photoimageable dielectric (PID) film, and the like, but are not limited thereto. 
     As the inorganic filler, at least one or more selected from a group consisting of silica (SiO 2 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), silicon carbide (SiC), barium sulfate (BaSO 4 ), talc, mud, a mica powder, aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3 ), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ), calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), magnesium carbonate (MgCO 3 ), magnesium oxide (MgO), boron nitride (BN), aluminum borate (AlBO 3 ), barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), and calcium zirconate (CaZrO 3 ) may be used. 
     When the support substrate  200  is formed of an insulating material including a reinforcing material, the support substrate  200  may provide better rigidity. When the support substrate  200  is formed of an insulating material not containing glass fibers, the support substrate  200  may be advantageous for reducing a thickness of the overall coil portion  300 . When the support substrate  200  is formed of an insulating material containing a photosensitive insulating resin, the number of processes for forming the coil portion  300  may be reduced. Therefore, it may be advantageous in reducing production costs, and a fine via may be formed. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 2 to 4 , the support substrate  200  may have one surface including at least one groove portion  210 . An average roughness (Ra) of the one surface of the support substrate  200  on which the groove portion  210  is formed may be 1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, preferably 2.2 μm. An average roughness (Ra) may be measured using a 3D Profiler, for example, VK-9700 manufactured by KEYENCE. A 3D Profiler is a 3D measuring device capable of measuring average roughness and surface shape. An average roughness (Ra) of the support substrate  200  may refer to an average value of the measured roughness of the support substrate  200 . For example, an average roughness (Ra) may be measured by measuring depths of the plurality of groove portions formed on the support substrate  200 , respectively, and then calculating an arithmetic mean value of these measurements. 
     When the average roughness (Ra) is less than 1 μm, an anchor portion  310  to be described below may not be formed to a sufficient size. Therefore, fixing force between the support substrate  200  and the coil portion  300  may be relatively weakened. When the average roughness (Ra) is greater than 5 μm, rigidity of the support substrate  200  may be relatively weakened, which may be disadvantageous to formation of the coil portion  300  having a relatively high aspect ratio. In general, a roughness having a numerical range of 0.05 μm to 0.5 μm may be formed on the support substrate in order to strengthen the fixing force between the support substrate and the coil portion. For example, by forming the groove portion  210  having a relatively larger average roughness (Ra) than in the related art, fixing force between the coil portion  300  and the support substrate  200  may be secured, without a seed layer described later. The groove portion  210  may be formed by disposing a copper foil layer (not illustrated) on at least the one surface of the support substrate  200 , and then removing the copper foil layer (not illustrated). For example, a copper foil layer (not illustrated) having a surface with a roughness of a predetermined size or more may be attached to the one surface of the support substrate  200 . Thereafter, by removing the copper foil layer (not illustrated), the groove portion  210  having the above-described average roughness (Ra) may be formed on the one surface of the support substrate  200 . In this embodiment, the surface roughness of the copper foil layer (not illustrated) is not limited, but in order to form the groove portion  210 , a thickness of the copper foil layer (not illustrated) may be sufficiently thick. Referring to  FIG. 4 , the groove portion  210  may be formed on a surface of the support substrate  200  to be spaced apart from each other. A shape and a size of the groove portion  210  are not particularly limited as long as the groove portion  210  may be inserted into the support substrate  200  to secure fixing force with the coil portion  300 . In one example, an average roughness (Ra) of one surface of the coil portion  300  facing the support substrate  200  may be greater than an average roughness (Ra) of another surface of the coil portion  300  opposing the one surface. 
     A thickness of the support substrate  200  may be 10 μm or more and 60 μm or less, and more preferably 20 μm or more and 60 μm or less. The thickness of the supporting substrate  200  may be measured, for example, by measuring a thickness of the cross section of the copper clad laminate (CCL) through an optical microscope. As an example, the magnification of the optical microscope may be set to 200 times. The thickness of the supporting substrate  200  may be, for example, a median value of 10 μm or more and 60 μm or less. The thickness of the supporting substrate may be measured by measuring the maximum and minimum values of the thickness of the supporting substrate and calculating the median of these values. When the thickness of the support substrate  200  is less than 20 μm, it may be difficult to secure rigidity of the support substrate  200 . Therefore, it may be difficult to support the coil portion  300  to be described later in the manufacturing process. When the thickness of the support substrate  200  is greater than 60 μm, it may be disadvantageous to make the coil portion thinner, and it may be disadvantageous in realizing relatively high inductance, since a volume occupied by the support substrate  200  in the body of the same volume increases. 
     The coil portion  300  may be disposed to have a planar spiral shape, to contact at least the one surface of the support substrate  200 , and may be embedded in the body  100 , to manifest the characteristics of the coil component. For example, when the coil component  1000  of this embodiment is used as a power inductor, the coil portion  300  may function to stabilize the power supply of an electronic device by storing an electric field as a magnetic field and maintaining an output voltage. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , the coil portion  300  may include an anchor portion  310  disposed in the groove portion  210  and a pattern portion  320  disposed on the anchor portion  310 . Since the anchor portion  310  is inserted into the groove portion  210  of the support substrate  200 , the anchor portion  310  may be disposed toward a central portion of the support substrate  200 . A shape of the anchor portion  310  may correspond to a shape of the groove portion  210  of the support substrate  200 . An area occupied by the anchor portion  310  embedded by the one surface of the support substrate  200  may be smaller than an area occupied by the pattern portion  320  formed in the outside of the support substrate  200 . For example, in this embodiment, since the groove portion  210  is formed by attaching and removing the copper foil layer, a line width of the groove portion  210  hardly exceeds a line width of each coil patterns  331  and  332 . As a result, referring to  FIG. 4 , a line width (d) of the anchor portion  310  disposed in the groove portion  210  may be also smaller than a line width (D) of the pattern portion  320 . In one example, a line width may refer to a dimension determined in a direction from an inner coil pattern to an outer coil pattern in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to an X-Y plane. The definition of the line width, however, is not limited thereto. 
     The coil portion  300  may include first and second coil patterns  331  and  332 , and a via  340 . Based on the direction of  FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 , the first coil pattern  331  may be disposed on the one surface of the support substrate  200  facing the sixth surface  106  of the body  100 , and the second coil pattern  332  may be disposed on the other surface of the support substrate  200  facing the one surface of the support substrate  200 . Referring to  FIGS. 2 to 4 , each of the first and second coil patterns  331  and  332  may include at least one of the anchor portion  310  and the pattern portion  320 . In addition, each of the first and second coil patterns  331  and  332  may have a plurality of turns. The anchor portion  310  may be provided as a plurality of anchor portions spaced apart from each other, based on any one of the plurality of turns. For example, each of the pattern portions  320  of each of the first and second coil patterns  331  and  332  may have at least one anchor portion  310 . In this embodiment, since the groove portion  210  is formed by the removal of the above-described copper foil layer (not illustrated), the groove portion  210  may be formed in any of the length direction X and the width direction Y of the body  100 , and a shape and a position the groove portion  210  may be irregular or discontinuous. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 3 , the via  340  may pass through the support substrate  200 , and may be in contact with and connected to the first coil pattern  331  disposed on the one surface of the support substrate  200  and the second coil pattern  332  disposed on the other surface of the support substrate  200 . As a result, the coil portion  300  may function as one coil in which one or more turns are formed around the core  110  as a whole. 
     End portions of the coil portion  300  may be connected to the first and second external electrodes  500  and  600 , which will be described later. Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , an end portion of the first coil pattern  331  may be exposed from the second surface  102  of the body  100 , to be connected to the second external electrode  600 , and an end portion of the second coil pattern  332  may be exposed from the first surface  101  of the body  100 , to be connected to the first external electrode  500 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , the coil portion  300  may include the pattern portion  320  spaced apart from the one surface of the support substrate  200 . The coil portion  300  may include the anchor portion  310  embedded by the one surface of the support substrate  200 , and the pattern portion  320  connected to the anchor portion  310  and protruding from the one surface of the support substrate  200 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 2 to 4 , each of the first and second coil patterns  331  and  332  may include a lower plating layer  3201  adjacent to the support substrate  200  and including the anchor portion  310  and a portion of the pattern portion  320  extending from the anchor portion  310 , and an upper plating layer  3202  including another portion of the pattern portion disposed on the lower plating layer  3201 . For example, each of the first and second coil patterns  331  and  332  may include a lower plating layer  3201  disposed to be closest to the support substrate  200 , and an upper plating layer  3202  disposed on the lower plating layer  3201 . As described later, since a seed layer is removed by a seed etchant or the like, a separation distance between the support substrate  200  and the pattern portion  320  may be generated by a region from which the seed layer is removed. Since the lower plating layer  3201  is an electroplating layer formed before the seed layer is removed, a thickness of the lower plating layer  3201  may be thicker than a region corresponding to a thickness of the seed layer. As a result, referring to  FIG. 4 , a distance (H) of the lower plating layer  3201  in the thickness direction may be greater than a separation distance (h) between the pattern portion  320  and the support substrate  200 . In addition, since the insulating layer  400  to be described later is disposed in the region from which the seed layer is removed, insulation characteristics between the pattern portions  320  may be further secured as the seed layer is removed. 
     In this embodiment, a seed layer (not illustrated) may be first formed on one surface and the other surface of a support substrate  200  in which a groove portion  210  is formed. The seed layer may not remain in a final structure of a coil component  1000  of this embodiment, but may be formed to fabricate lower and upper plating layers  3201  and  3202  by an electrolytic plating process. The seed layer may be formed by performing a sputtering process or an electroless plating process on the support substrate  200 . The seed layer may not be completely disposed on the one surface of the support substrate  200 . For example, the seed layer may not be completely disposed in the groove portion  210 , depending on a depth of the groove portion  210  formed in the support substrate  200  or strength of the sputtering process. As a result, referring to  FIG. 4 , the anchor portion  310  and the one surface of the support substrate  200  may partially contact each other, and fixing force between the support substrate  200  and the coil portion  300  may be further strengthened. The seed layer may include at least one of molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), or copper (Cu). The seed layer may be formed in a plurality of layers, such as molybdenum (Mo)/titanium (Ti), but is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, since the seed layer is removed, the coil portion  300  may not include molybdenum (Mo). 
     The lower plating layer  3201  may be formed by forming a plating resist having an opening in the seed layer, and then filling the opening of the plating resist with a conductive material by an electrolytic plating process. The plating resist may be formed in a form including an insulating wall disposed between the opening formed in a planar spiral shape having a plurality of turns and an adjacent opening, by forming a plating resist forming material on the seed layer and then performing a photolithography process thereon. The plating resist may be formed by applying a liquid photosensitive material to the seed layer or stacking a sheet type photosensitive material to the seed layer. A width of the opening of the plating resist (or a separation distance between adjacent insulating walls) may correspond to a width of the pattern portion  320 , and a width of the insulating wall may correspond to a separation distance between turns of the pattern portion  320  described above. A thickness of the insulating wall may correspond to a height of the pattern portion  320  described above. The plating resist may include a photosensitive insulating material (a photo imageable dielectric (PID)) that may be peeled off by a stripper. For example, the plating resist may include a photosensitive material including as a main component a cyclic ketone compound, and an ether compound having a hydroxy group, wherein the cyclic ketone compound is, for example, cyclopentanone or the like, and the ether compound having a hydroxy group is, for example, polypropylene glycol monomethyl ether or the like. 
     Alternatively, the plating resist may include a photosensitive material including a bisphenol-based epoxy resin as a main component, wherein the bisphenol-based epoxy resin is, for example, bisphenol A novolac epoxy resin, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether bisphenol A polymer resin, or the like. However, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the plating resist may be applied to any one as long as it may be peeled off by the stripper. 
     The lower and upper plating layers  3201  and  3202  may include copper (Cu). For example, the lower and upper plating layers  3201  and  3202  may be made of copper (Cu) by an electrolytic copper plating process, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. As a result, both the anchor portion  310  and the pattern portion  320  may include copper (Cu), and the lower plating layer  3201  may be integrally formed. The lower and upper plating layers  3201  and  3202  and the seed layer may be made of different metals. The lower and upper plating layers  3201  and  3202  may be formed as a single layer by a single electroplating process, or may be formed as a plurality of layers by a plurality of electroplating processes. For example, the anchor portion  310  and the pattern portion  320  may be formed as a single metal layer without an interface between each other. 
     In this embodiment, after forming the lower plating layer  3201  on the seed layer, the plating resist may be chemically removed using a stripper, and the seed layer may be removed using a seed etching solution. The stripper may include a high concentration of strong acid, and the seed etching solution may selectively react with the seed layer. The seed etching solution may react with the seed layer, and may not react with the electroplating layer, which may be the lower plating layer  3201 . As a result, in this embodiment, the seed layer remaining around the lower plating layer  3201  may be removed. 
     A via  340  may include at least one plating layer. For example, when a via  340  is formed by an electroplating process, the via  340  may include a seed layer formed on an inner wall of a via hole penetrating the support substrate  200 , and an electroplating layer filling the via hole on which the seed layer is formed. The seed layer of the via  340 , and the seed layer for forming the coil portion  300  may be formed together in the same process to be integrally formed, or may be formed in different processes to forma boundary between them. The via  340  may include a conductive material such as copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), or alloys thereof. In this embodiment, since the lower plating layer  3201  is formed on the seed layer, the plating resist is chemically removed using a stripper, and the seed layer is removed using a seed etching solution, the seed layer of the via  340  may not also remain. 
     The external electrodes  500  and  600  may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. For example, the first external electrode  500  may include a first layer (not illustrated) including copper (Cu), a second layer (not illustrated) disposed on the first layer (not illustrated) and including nickel (Ni), and a third layer (not illustrated) disposed on the second layer (not illustrated) and including tin (Sn). In this case, the first to third layers (not illustrated) may be formed by a plating process, respectively, but are not limited thereto. As another example, the first external electrode  500  may include a resin electrode including a conductive powder particle such as silver (Ag) or the like, and a resin, and a nickel (Ni)/tin (Sn) plating layer plated on the resin electrode. 
     The external electrodes  500  and  600  may be formed of a conductive material such as copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), titanium (Ti), or alloys thereof, but are not limited thereto. 
     The insulating layer  400  may insulate between the coil portion  300  and the body  100 . For example, the insulating layer  400  may be formed to surround the support substrate  200  and the coil portion  300 . Referring to  FIGS. 2 to 4 , the insulating layer  400  may be disposed in a space between the pattern portion  320  and the one surface of the support substrate  200 . 
     The insulating layer  400  may be provided to insulate the coil portion  300  from the body  100 , and may include a known insulating material such as parylene, and the like. An insulating material included in the insulating layer  400  may be any insulating material, and is not particularly limited thereto. The insulating layer  400  may be formed using a vapor deposition process or the like, but not limited thereto, and may be formed using stacking an insulation film on both surfaces of the support substrate  200 . In the former case, the insulating layer  400  may be formed in the form of a conformal film along the surfaces of the support substrate  200  and the coil portion  300 . In the latter case, the insulating layer  400  may be formed to fill a space between neighboring pattern portions  320 , and a space between the anchor portion  310  and the support substrate  200 . The insulating layer  400  in the present disclosure may be an optional configuration, and the insulating layer  400  may be omitted, when the body  100  secures sufficient insulation resistance under operating conditions of the coil component  1000  according to this embodiment. 
     According to the present disclosure, poor insulation between the coil portions may be prevented and fixing force with the support substrate without the seed layer may be secured. 
     While embodiments have been illustrated and described above, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations could be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
