Tohoku University Technology: Compact and low-cost inductor element: T20-3071
New inductor element using spintronics technology
An inductor is known as an element that uses the induced electromotive force generated in a coil to stabilize the current in circuits. Circuit elements used in small electronic devices require miniaturization, but there is a fundamental limit for conventional inductors due to a physical restriction. This invention uses the principle of induction in spintronics physics, as the inventors have shown, that inductance emerges in uniform magnetic materials as a result of spin-orbit interaction, where any “twists” are not required like conventional coils or magnetic structures. This technology offers various inductor elements that are low-cost, stable against temperature variation, and capable of miniaturizing.
