Abstract

A multilayer electronic component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a body including a dielectric layer and internal electrodes; and an electrode layer disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrodes; and the electrode layer includes Cu particles and glass, wherein oxides including Cu is disposed on at least a portion of the interface between the Cu particles and the glass.

Claims (34)

1. A multilayer electronic component, comprising:

a body including a dielectric layer and internal electrodes; and

an electrode layer disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrodes,

wherein the electrode layer includes metal particles of which Cu particles are a main component, at least one oxide including Cu, and glass, and the at least one oxide including Cu is disposed on at least a portion of an interface between the Cu particles and the glass.

2. The multilayer electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the at least one oxide including Cu includes Cu 2 O.

3. The multilayer electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the at least one oxide including Cu is Cu 2 O.

4. The multilayer electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the at least one oxide including Cu is an oxidized part of the Cu particles.

5. The multilayer electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the glass includes at least one oxide including at least one of Fe, Sn, Ni, Mn, Ag, or In.
