CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

A ceramic electronic component in which the part wetted with a conductive paste by immersion method can be stopped at a predetermined position and an external electrode can be formed with high dimensional precision. A ceramic electronic component wherein external electrodes (31) formed of a conductive paste are provided at the opposite ends of a ceramic laminate (10) incorporating a coil (L). The ceramic laminate (10) consists of a main portion (11) and end portions (12, 12). The end portion (12) has a porosity of 10 vol% or less whereas the main portion (11) has a porosity of 30-80 vol% thereby exhibiting a low wettability of the conductive paste. When the end portions (12, 12) are immersed into the conductive paste, upward wetting with the conductive paste is blocked at the border with the main portion (11) and the external electrode is formed with high dimensional precision.
