GRANULAR THIN MAGNETIC FILM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE FILM, LAMINATED MAGNETIC FILM, MAGNETIC PART, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

There are provided a magnetic thin film utilizing a granular film and having excellent high frequency characteristics and a method of manufacturing the same, and a multilayered magnetic film and magnetic components and electronic equipment utilizing the same. A nonreactive sputtering is performed so that there is no oxidation of a magnetic metal, and a saturation magnetization is increased to increase a resonant frequency of permeability. Also, a multi-target simultaneous sputtering is combined with the nonreactive sputtering so that in a granular structure including magnetic grains and an insulating layer a size of the magnetic grains and a thickness of the insulating layer are optimized thereby ensuring a proper magnitude for a crystalline magnetic anisotropy within the grains and excellent soft magnetic properties. Further, the optimization of the thickness of the insulating layer has the effect of improving a resistivity, decreasing an eddy current and improving an exchange interaction between the magnetic grains.
