Layered electronic component production method

A method of producing a multilayer electronic component, comprising:

• preparing a multilayer body that includes ceramic layers and an internal electrode which are alternately stacked on one another, the multilayer body having a side surface from which the internal electrode is exposed;
• providing a sintered body by firing the multilayer body, the sintered body having a side surface from which the internal electrode is exposed;
• forming a first external electrode on the side surface of the sintered body such that the first external electrode is connected to the internal electrode;
• forming an insulating layer on a surface of the sintered body which is exposed from the first external electrode by applying a glass coating over an entire of the sintered body having the formed first external electrode;
• and
• forming a second external electrode on the first external electrode.
