Patent ID: 7973631

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an inductive component which is formed from a plurality of layers, wherein the method comprises the steps of: a) arranging an electrically conductive material as a winding of the inductive component on a plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers; b) forming at least one cutout which passes entirely through in the plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers; c) arranging a first magnetic ceramic layer on an upper face and a second magnetic ceramic layer on a lower face of the plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers; and d) performing a process step in which at least one of the first and second magnetic ceramic layers is plastically deformed such that contact is made with the first and second magnetic ceramic layers in an area of the at least one cutout, and the first and second magnetic ceramic layers form a magnetic core of the component; wherein the plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers are stacked, in each of which plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers the at the least one cutout is formed with different dimensions, and the plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers are stacked one on top of another such that cutouts of the plurality of non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers overlap, at least in places, where a cutout which passes through all the non-magnetic, dielectric ceramic layers is arranged to taper, at least in places.
