2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a strict demand for downsizing and weight reduction of electronic device components, and downsizing is an indispensable subject even in switching power supplies that can obtain high-quality power. Miniaturization has been promoted by reducing components such as transformers and capacitors.
In semiconductor components and capacitor components, thin-film technology has been used from an early stage, as typified by LSIs and multilayer ceramic capacitors, and has sufficiently responded to the demand for downsizing components. On the other hand, magnetic components such as transformers and inductors have been most difficult to miniaturize so far, and it is also difficult to suppress an increase in loss due to an increase in frequency. For this reason, it is no exaggeration to say that the volume of the high-frequency switching power supply is currently determined by the volume of the magnetic component. Therefore, in recent years, research on a thin film transformer and a thin film inductor using a thin film forming technique has been promoted in order to cope with an increase in frequency, and the development of a small power source having a switching frequency raised to a MHz band has been studied.

However, FIG.
In the thin film inductor according to the prior art described above (the same applies to the case of a thin film transformer), since the line width of the planar coil 5 is the same, the outer coil resistance of the spiral planar coil 5 becomes larger than the inner coil resistance. Therefore, the copper loss on the outside increases. For this reason, there has been a problem that the heat generation of the planar coil 5 becomes non-uniform and the copper loss of the entire planar coil 5 is not minimum.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a second specific example according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a substrate, 2 is an insulating layer, 3 is a lower magnetic film, 4 is an upper magnetic film, 5 is a planar coil having a spiral thin-film structure in which the line width increases with distance from the center. In this manufacturing example, the lower magnetic film 3 is formed in the shape of a donut in the first manufacturing example of FIG. 3, and a planar coil portion embedded in the insulating layer 2 is formed thereon.
This is a production example in which the area around is covered with the upper magnetic film 4. In this manufacturing example, the structure is such that the magnetic film at the center is removed. In the first production example of FIG. 3, the above Magnetostat Solv is used.
When a magnetic force line diagram is plotted by er, as shown in FIG. 5, the magnetic flux 10 does not penetrate into the magnetic films 3 and 4 at the center, and these do not contribute to the increase in inductance. The structure of this example of FIG. 4 is obtained by removing the magnetic film at the center portion where the magnetic flux does not penetrate and does not contribute to the increase in inductance. This is referred to as the above-mentioned Magnetostat Solve.
When the inductance is calculated by r, it is 9 in the case of the conventional example.
The coefficient of performance is only reduced to 8%, and almost the same coefficient of performance as in the first production example is obtained.
