Vertically-wound inductor and method for fabricating the same

A vertically-wound inductor, comprising:

• an inductor body made of a first magnetic material;
• a coil including a first coil portion and a second coil portion, wherein the first coil portion and the second coil portion are disposed in the inductor body and are opposite to each other, and a first gap is formed between the first coil portion and the second coil portion;
• a first external electrode and a second external electrode disposed on an outer surface of the inductor body, wherein the first external electrode is connected to the first coil portion, and the second external electrode is connected to the second coil portion;
• and
• an intermediate layer disposed in the inductor body and located in the first gap, wherein the intermediate layer is provided with a through hole;
• wherein the first coil portion is electrically connected to the second coil portion through a connecting part penetrating the through hole, and a direction of a central magnetic field generated by the coil is parallel to an arrangement direction of the first external electrode and the second external electrode.
