Abstract
An electronic component capable of preventing the occurrence of magnetic saturation due to a magnetic flux surrounding each coil conductor and a method of manufacturing the electronic component are provided. The electronic component includes a laminate formed by stacking unit layers, where each unit layer includes a first insulating layer, and a coil conductor and second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer. Each second insulating layer has a Ni content greater than a Ni content of each first insulating layer. Portions of the first insulating layers have a Ni content lower than a Ni content of the second portions after the laminate is calcined.
Claims1
An electronic component, comprising a plurality of unit layers, each said unit layer comprising:
- a single sheet-shaped first insulating layer;
- a coil conductor on the first insulating layer;
- and
- a second insulating layer on a portion of the first insulating layer, the portion being other than the coil conductor, wherein
- the unit layers are continuously stacked such that the coil conductors are connected to each other to form a spiral coil,
- the first insulating layers include first portions sandwiched between the coil conductors in the stacking direction and second portions other than the first portions,
- the first portions have a Ni content lower than a Ni content of the second portions, and
- the Ni content of the second portions is lower than a Ni content of the second insulating layers.
