Manufacturing method for electronic component and electronic component

Abstract

A manufacturing method for an electronic component includes: a step of forming an insulating layer on an outer electrode body so as to cover the outer electrode body, the outer electrode body being formed on a chip element which forms the electronic component; and a step of removing the insulating layer in a predetermined region of the outer electrode body by applying laser light to the insulating layer in the predetermined region so as to expose the predetermined region. The insulating layer has a higher absorption coefficient for the laser light than a material forming a surface of the outer electrode body.
