Thin film type inductor

A thin film type inductor comprising:

• a body including a support member including a through hole and a via hole spaced apart from the through hole and filled with a conductive material, an internal coil supported by the support member, and a magnetic material encapsulating the support member and the internal coil and filling the through hole;
• and
• first and second external electrodes disposed on an external surface of the body and connected to both end portions of the internal coil, respectively,
• wherein the internal coil includes a first coil disposed on an upper surface of the support member and a second coil disposed on a lower surface of the support member, the first and second coils being connected to each other by a via electrode formed by filling the via hole with the conductive material,
• each of the first and second coils includes a plurality of coil patterns,
• heights of a plurality of coil patterns arranged along a first virtual line are substantially equal to each other, and heights of a plurality of coil patterns arranged along a second virtual line increase toward the external surface of the body, where the first virtual line radiates from a center of a core of the body toward the via electrode and the second virtual line radiates in the opposite direction,
• a connection coil pattern, among the plurality of coil patterns arranged along the first virtual line, is directly connected to the via electrode, and
• wherein heights of at least three of the plurality of coil patterns arranged along the second virtual line increase toward the external surface of the body.
