Multi-Layer Electronic Component and Method for Manufacturing the Same

A multi-layer electronic component comprising:

• an active stack section constituted from a plurality of dielectric material layers including lead and a plurality of internal electrodes which are stacked alternately one on another;
• an upper inactive section provided on the top surface of the active stack section in the stacking direction thereof;
• and
• a lower inactive section provided on the bottom surface of the active stack section in the stacking direction thereof,
• wherein dielectric constant ε1 of a first upper dielectric material layer disposed between a first upper internal electrode that is located at the top of the active stack and a second upper internal electrode located next to the first upper internal electrode and dielectric constant ε2 of a first lower dielectric material layer disposed between a first lower internal electrode that is located at the bottom of the active stack and a second lower internal electrode located next to the first lower internal electrode are larger than dielectric constant ε3 of a central dielectric material layer disposed at the center of the active stack.
