A multilayer coil component includes an element body including a plurality of metal magnetic particles, and a plurality of coil conductors. The plurality of coil conductors is disposed in the element body. The plurality of coil conductors is separated from each other in a predetermined direction and electrically connected to each other. The plurality of coil conductors includes one pair of side surfaces opposing each other in the predetermined direction. Surface roughness of the one pair of side surfaces is less than 40% of an average particle size of the plurality of metal magnetic particles.

An inductive structure may be manufactured with in-situ characterization of dimensions by forming a metal line on a top surface of a semiconductor die, forming a passivation dielectric layer over the metal line, measuring a height profile of a top surface of the passivation dielectric layer as a function of a lateral displacement, forming a magnetic material plate over the passivation dielectric layer, measuring a height profile of a top surface of the magnetic material plate as a function of the lateral displacement, and determining a thickness profile of the magnetic material plate by subtracting the height profile of the top surface of the passivation dielectric layer from the height profile of the top surface of the magnetic material plate. An inductive structure including the magnetic material plate and the metal line is formed.

In a coil component, fixing strength of an external terminal is improved. In the coil component, on the end face of the element body, the center position of the external terminal electrode in the first direction is biased toward the center position of the end face with respect to the center position of the outer end portion. Therefore, the fixing area between the external terminal electrode and the element body is increased on the center position side of the end face, and thus fixing strength between the external terminal electrode and the element body is improved.

In a coil component, coupling coefficient is improved. In the coil component, the coupling position between the outer end portion of the first planar coil and the first lead-out portion is biased toward the second lead-out portion with respect to the center line of the first lead-out portion, whereby the length of the second planar coil not alongside with the outermost turn of the first planar coil is shortened. By shortening the length of the second planar coil, the coupling coefficient between the first coil portion and the second coil portion is increased.

In a coil component, heat radiation around a through conductor is improved. In the coil component, since the cross-sectional area of the inner end portion of the planar coil is designed to be relatively large, heat generated in the through conductor is easily transferred to the inner end portion. Since heat is efficiently transferred from the through conductor to the inner end portion, high heat radiation around the through conductor is achieved.
