A method of fabricating a composite ferrite sheet including the steps of: (a) forming a grooved green ferrite sheet having a non-intersecting grid pattern by pressing a groove forming die including a plurality of first protrusions and a plurality of second protrusions having a triangular cross sectional shape, each protrusion of at least one of the plurality of first protrusions and the plurality of second protrusions being discontinuous at each imaginary intersecting portion at which extension lines of the respective first and second protrusions intersect each other, (b) firing the grooved ferrite green sheet to obtain a sintered ferrite sheet, (c) bonding at least one supporting sheet to at least one of opposite major surfaces of the sintered ferrite sheet, and (d) rupturing the sintered ferrite sheet along the grooves into a multiplicity of separate and independent rectangular planar ferrite segments which are bonded to the supporting sheet.
An array of sintered ferrite segments each having a rectangular and planar shape that is obtained from a sintered ferrite sheet including a plurality of first dividing grooves having V-shaped cross sections and a plurality of second dividing grooves having V-shaped cross sections, which first and second dividing grooves cooperate with each other to form a grid pattern, each dividing groove of at least one of the plurality of first dividing grooves and the plurality of second dividing grooves having a discontinuous region at each imaginary intersecting portion at which an extension line of the first dividing grooves and an extension line of the second dividing grooves intersect each other, the sintered ferrite sheet being ruptured along the first dividing grooves and the second dividing grooves, into the sintered ferrite segments,
An array of sintered ferrite segments having rectangular and planar shape that is obtained from a sintered ferrite sheet having a plurality of first dividing grooves having V-shaped cross sections and a plurality of second dividing grooves having V-shaped cross sections, which first and second dividing grooves cooperate with each other to form a grid pattern, each dividing groove of both of the plurality of first dividing grooves and the plurality of second dividing grooves having a discontinuous region at each imaginary intersecting portion at which an extension line of the first dividing grooves and an extension line of the second dividing grooves intersect each other, the sintered ferrite sheet further having a rupture assisting portion in the form of a recess formed by a pyramidal protrusion formed on a die used for forming the sintered ferrite sheet at the imaginary intersecting portion, the sintered ferrite sheet being ruptured along the first dividing grooves and the second dividing grooves, into the sintered ferrite segments,
