Abstract
A coil component includes a body including a plurality of pattern layers and a via electrode layer connecting the respective conductive pattern layers to each other, and external electrodes disposed on an external surface of the body. A cross-sectional shape of the via electrode layer is divided into an upper region and a lower region, a side surface of the upper region has a tapered shape, and a lower surface of the lower region includes a curved portion.
