A laminated capacitor has an end surface pitch Pe, which defines an interval between adjacent first and second external terminal electrodes disposed on end surfaces having shorter sides in a body of a laminated capacitor, which is equal to or less than about 0.9 times of a side-surface pitch Ps, which defines an interval between adjacent first and second external terminal electrodes disposed on side surfaces having longer sides, in order to enhance the effect of magnetic-flux cancellation at the end surfaces and to reduce the equivalent series inductance of the whole laminated capacitor.

Laminated capacitor, printed circuit board, decoupling circuit, and high-frequency circuit

A plurality of ceramic green sheets each provided with electrodes are prepared and laminated to form a laminated unit. The laminated unit is then vacuum packed in a rubber covering or a synthetic resin sheet. The vacuum packed laminated unit is pressed by hydrostatic pressure within a high-pressure vessel, whereby the plurality of ceramic green sheets are pressed to form a single ceramic sheet, which is then baked to form a chip.
