Abstract The motor arrangement comprises a stator (2), a rotor (1) consisting of a magnetized disc (4) and of a first plate (5) made of soft magnetic material covering one side of the disc (4), and a module (24) secured to the stator (2), facing the other side of the disc (4), through the intermediary of a second plate (6) also made of soft magnetic material. The module (24) is a plate of selenium having an integrated control circuit and, on its surface facing the rotor (1), flat coils that are connected to the circuit and that intercept the field created by the rotor. The coils, which are formed by a single layer of turns, are produced during the manufacturing process of the integrated circuit, and the metallization mask used during this process includes, to this end, the pattern of the conductors that form the coil's turns and of the connections between the circuit and the coils.
A motor arrangement comprising: a stator; a rotor defining an axis of rotation and comprising a substantially flat magnetized disk-like portion rotatably mounted in said stator about said axis of rotation, said stator defining with said rotor an air gap; said substantially flat magnetized disk-like portion defining at least one pair of magnetic poles to produce a magnetic field which is substantially parallel to said axis of rotation and which crosses said air gap; said stator including a semiconductor chip facing said disk-like portion of said rotor and comprising a single silicon substrate having integrally formed therein at least one substantially flat coil, a control circuit for said motor and conductors for connecting said coil and said circuit directly to each other to allow supply of drive pulses from said circuit to said coil, said coil being arranged so as to intercept said magnetic field.
