Thin film electromagnet and switching device comprising it
First Claim
1. A thin-film electromagnet comprising a magnetic yoke and a thin-film coil, characterized in that said magnetic yoke is comprised of a first magnetic yoke and a second magnetic yoke making contact with said first magnetic yoke, said first magnetic yoke is located at a center of a winding of which said thin-film coil is comprised, and said second magnetic yoke is arranged above or below said thin-film coil such that said second magnetic yoke faces said thin-film coil, and overlaps at least a part of said thin-film coil.

11. A method of fabricating a thin-film electromagnet comprising a magnetic yoke and a thin-film coil, said magnetic yoke being comprised of a first magnetic yoke and a second magnetic yoke making contact with said first magnetic yoke, said first magnetic yoke being located at a center of a winding of which said thin-film coil is comprised, said method comprising:
-
the first step of forming said second magnetic yoke on a substrate;
the second step of forming an insulating layer on said second magnetic yoke for electrically insulating said second magnetic yoke and said thin-film coil from each other;
the third step of forming said thin-film coil on said insulating layer;
the fourth step of forming an insulating layer covering said thin-film coil therewith;
the fifth step of forming said first magnetic yoke on said second magnetic yoke;
the sixth step of forming a protection film entirely covering a resultant resulted from said fifth step; and
the seventh step of planarizing said protection film such that said first magnetic yoke is exposed to a surface of said protection film.
