**4. Conclusion**

In this chapter, we introduced the preparation of rare-earth thick-film magnets using a PLD method and their applications. The PLD-made Nd-Fe-B thick-film magnets thicker than 10 μm deposited on metal substrates could be applicable to miniaturized devices by taking account of the relatively good magnetic and mechanical properties. In addition, Nd(or Pr)-Fe-B thick films with a thickness above 100 μm without a buffer layer on a Si or glass substrate. Preparation of Sm-Co, Fe-Pt, and nano-composite Nd-Fe-B + α-Fe thick-film magnets was also carried out.
