Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0747913A1] A method for fabricating electronic components such as transformers and inductors having wire windings formed from a metal sheet rather than from manual winding of wire. Grooves (12 and 17) are formed in the surface of a core (11) during a molding process. The core (11) is then covered with an insulating layer and a metal film. Metal windings (13 and 18) are carved with one of several methods that rely on parallel grooves (12 and 17) to isolate and pattern each continuous winding. An additional embodiment describes the use of a second insulating layer (14) and a second metal film (16) to modify a component such that the component operates in re-entrant mode. This additional embodiment widens the operational bandwidth of any electronic component with at least two metal windings such as a transformer or coupled inductors. <IMAGE>
