Abstract

Disclosed herein is a multilayer type power inductor including: a plurality of body layers including internal electrodes and having magnetic material layers stacked therein; and a plurality of gap layers, wherein the gap layer has an asymmetrical structure. In the multilayer type power inductor, portions that are in contact with the body layers have, a non-porous structure, which is a dense structure, and portions that are not in contact with the body layers have a porous structure, such that the gap layer has the asymmetrical structure. Therefore, a magnetic flux propagation path in a coil is dispersed to suppress magnetization at a high current, thereby making it possible to improve a change in inductance (L) value according to the application of current.
