Inductor and method for manufacturing the same

An inductor comprising:

• an insulating layer having a hole;
• a conductive pattern disposed on both surfaces of the insulating layer and having a structure in which portions disposed on the both surfaces are electrically connected to each other through the hole;
• and
• a magnetic layer disposed on the insulating layer to cover the conductive pattern, wherein the conductive pattern comprises a first conductive pattern having a conducting portion formed in the hole and disposed on one surface of the insulating layer;
• and a second conductive pattern disposed on the other surface of the insulating layer and electrically connected to the first conductive pattern through the hole, and wherein a seed layer is only disposed between one surface of the insulating layer and an upper side of the first conductive pattern, wherein the second conductive pattern is a metal plate having an opening pattern, and wherein the metal plate is in direct contact with the surface of the insulating layer without any seed layer.
