Abstract

An electronic component and manufacturing method are provided that allow an increase in a size of a circuit element included therein and suppression of a short-circuit-preventing insulator film from easily peeling off from a laminated body. The laminated body includes a plurality of insulator layers laminated on one another. The laminated body has an upper face and a lower face opposing each other in a z-axis direction and lateral faces connecting the upper face to the lower face. The insulator film is provided on the lateral faces. A circuit element such as a coil is included in the laminated body and has a part protruding from the lateral faces of the laminated body toward the insulator film.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic component comprising:

a laminated body including a plurality of insulator layers laminated on one another, the laminated body having an upper face and a lower face opposing each other in a lamination direction and lateral faces connecting the upper face to the lower face;

an insulator film on the lateral faces; and

a circuit element included in the laminated body, the circuit element having a part protruding from the lateral faces of the laminated body toward the insulator film.

2. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit element is a coil.

3. The electronic component according to claim 2 , wherein the coil is a helical coil including a plurality of connected conductor layers on the corresponding insulator layers, and wherein

the plurality of conductor layers are line conductor layers swirling on the corresponding insulator layers and partially protrude from outer peripheries of the corresponding insulator layers.

4. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the insulator layers are formed of ferrite.

5. The electronic component according to claim 2 , wherein the insulator layers are formed of ferrite.

6. The electronic component according to claim 3 , wherein the insulator layers are formed of ferrite.

7. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the insulator film is formed of a material different from that of the insulator layers.

8. The electronic component according to claim 2 , wherein the insulator film is formed of a material different from that of the insulator layers.

9. The electronic component according to claim 3 , wherein the insulator film is formed of a material different from that of the insulator layers.

10. The electronic component according to claim 4 , wherein the insulator film is formed of a material different from that of the insulator layers.

11. The electronic component according to claim 5 , wherein the insulator film is formed of a material different from that of the insulator layers.

12. The electronic component according to claim 6 , wherein the insulator film is formed of a material different from that of the insulator layers.

13. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit element is formed of a conductive paste having a smaller firing shrinking ratio than a firing shrinking ratio of the plurality of insulator layers.
