Abstract

Abstract A filmy coil comprising a metal conductive layer of the thin-line type having a spiral pattern on one side or both sides of an optional insulating substrate film or sheet, characterized in that the interval between each adjacent metal conductive line is smaller than the thickness of the metal conductive layer, and a manufacturing method for such a filmy coil characterized in that a photoresist layer, the patterns of both sides thereof being mirror images, is made up on both sides of the metal conductive foil or sheet, then both sides of the photoresist layer are etched to the depth of 30 to 40% of the thickness of the metal conductive foil or sheet by means of chemical etching, one side of the metal conductive foil or sheet is coated by an isolated resin coat or laminated with an isolated substrate film or sheet layer, the other side of said photoresist layer is etched also by means of chemical etching until the etching grooves on both sides pass through to be connected with each other, to produce a filmy coil in the form of a metal conductive layer on a thin-line type, and if desired, two filmy coils can be attached with each other at their undersides.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 125 words
A method of manufacturing a filmy coil, which comprises forming a photoresist layer of a patterned line on each side of a metal conductive foil or sheet, the line pattern of each side being the mirror image of the other and where the interval between adjacent photoresist lines is less than the metal foil thickness, etching both of said photoresist layers to a depth of 30 to 40% of the thickness of the metal conductive foil or sheet by means of chemical etching, forming an insulating substrate layer over all of one side of said photoresist layer, and etching the other side of said photoresist layer by means of chemical etching until the etching grooves on both sides pass through to connect with each other.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 125 words
A method of manufacturing a filmy coil, which comprises forming a photoresist layer of a patterned line on each side of a metal conductive foil or sheet, the line pattern of each side being the mirror image of the other and where the interval between adjacent photoresist lines is less than the metal foil thickness, etching both of said photoresist layers to a depth of 30 to 40% of the thickness of the metal conductive foil or sheet by means of chemical etching, forming an insulating substrate layer over all of one side of said photoresist layer, and etching the other side of said photoresist layer by means of chemical etching until the etching grooves on both sides pass through to connect with each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method of manufacturing a filmy coil as claimed in claim 1, wherein the patterned photoresist layer is a spiral line pattern.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 45 words
A method of manufacturing a filmy coil as claimed in claim 1, wherein the width of the resist layer on each side of said photoresist layer is adjusted so that the end line widths of both sides of the metal conductive layers are approximately equal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulating substrate layer is a resin coat.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulating substrate layer is a laminated film or sheet layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein two filmy coils are attached to each other by the side of each coil having an insulating substrate layer.
