Coil component and method of manufacturing same

A method of manufacturing a coil component, comprising:

• preparing a support member;
• forming a first mask on the support member, the first mask having an opening pattern with a first coil shape;
• forming a first coil conductor layer in the opening pattern of the first mask;
• forming an insulating layer on the first coil conductor layer;
• separating the first coil conductor layer from the support member;
• removing the first mask and regions of the insulating layer corresponding to the first mask;
• and
• forming an encapsulant encapsulating the insulating layer and the first coil conductor layer.

A coil component comprising:

• an insulating layer having a coil shape;
• a coil conductor layer on a surface of the insulating layer and having a coil shape corresponding to that of the insulating layer;
• an encapsulant encapsulating the insulating layer and the coil conductor layer;
• a body covering the insulating layer, coil conductor layer, and encapsulant,
• wherein the coil component is devoid of a substrate on which a coil conductor layer in the coil component was disposed.
