Patent ID: 8610525

Claim:
A laminated inductor comprising: an internal conductive wire forming region comprising a magnetic part formed with soft magnetic alloy grains, as well as internal conductive wires embedded in layers in the magnetic part; and a top cover region and a bottom cover region formed on a top and bottom of and M contact with the internal conductive wire forming region, respectively, to cover the internal conductive wire forming region as top and bottom layers, wherein the top cover region and bottom cover region are constituted by a magnetic body without internal conductive wires, and at least one of the top cover region and bottom cover region is formed with soft magnetic alloy grains whose constituent elements are substantially the same as those of the soft magnetic alloy grains constituting the magnetic part in the internal conductive wire forming region, wherein average-sized soft magnetic alloy grains constituting the at least one of the top cover region and bottom cover region are larger than average-sized soft magnetic alloy grains constituting the magnetic part in the internal conductive wire forming region.
