Electronic device and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A highly reliable electronic device that prevents entry of a plating solution via an external electrode and entry of moisture of external environment inside thereof, and generates no soldering defects or solder popping defects which are caused by precipitation of a glass component on a surface of the external electrode. The electrode structure of the electronic device is formed of Cu-baked electrode layers primarily composed of Cu, Cu plating layers formed on the Cu-baked electrode layers and which are processed by a recrystallization treatment, and upper-side plating layers formed on the Cu plating layers. After the Cu plating layers are formed, a heat treatment is performed at a temperature in the range of a temperature at which the Cu plating layers are recrystallized to a temperature at which glass contained in a conductive paste is not softened, so that the Cu plating layers are recrystallized.
