In the multi-layer coil component, the lead conductor is exposed from the end surface of the element body and is connected to the external electrode provided on the end surface. When the lead conductor is led out to the end surface of the element body, the lead area can be easily increased as compared with the case where the lead conductor is led out to the side surface of the element body. Therefore, by connecting the coil and the external electrode via the lead conductor, high connectivity between the coil and the external electrode is achieved.

Multi-layer coil component

In the multi-layer coil component, the via conductor electrically connecting the coil layers adjacent to each other in the stacking direction of the element body protrudes from the coil region toward the side surface of the element body when viewed from the stacking direction of the element body. Therefore, the coil has a concave-convex portion. When a force is applied to the multi-layer coil component from the outside, the force is dispersed in the concave-convex portion of the coil, and thus defects are less likely to occur in the coil than in a coil in which the side of the side surfaces is flat.

A method of A production method including interdiffusion of a Ni component in a magnetic layer and a Zn component in a nonmagnetic sheet to form an interdiffusion layer in a region of the nonmagnetic sheet inside a conductive pattern. This method allows the interdiffusion layer to be formed without need for complicated processing of the nonmagnetic sheet. Furthermore, there is no boundary region between the magnetic layer and the nonmagnetic sheet around it. The nonmagnetic layer is located between turns of a coiled conductor to suppress degradation of dc bias characteristics and a magnetic body penetrates in a region inside the coiled conductor to suppress reduction in inductance due to provision of the nonmagnetic layer between turns of the coiled conductor.

Method for producing multilayer inductor

A multilayer inductor component has a multilayer part having a plurality of magnetic layers laminated therein and a conductor part arranged within the multilayer part. The magnetic layers are formed from a ferrite material and an additive. The ferrite material contains FeO, NiO, CuO, and ZnO. FeOis 30 to 45 mol %. NiO is 45 to 58 mol %. CuO is 6 to 10 mol %. ZnO is 0 to 3 mol %. The additive contains CoO. The content of CoO is 0.1 to 2.5 mass % with respect to the ferrite material as a whole. The multilayer inductor component has an impedance peak of 500 &#x3a9; or greater at an operating frequency of 1 GHz or higher.

Multilayer inductor component

A laminated inductor, as well as a method of manufacturing such a laminated inductor, are provided. The laminated inductor includes: a laminate; a pair of external electrodes arranged on the outer surfaces of the laminate respectively; and a coil, arranged within the laminate and formed by electrically connecting a plurality of strip-like conductor patterns. The conductor patterns have: a pair of broad faces, intersecting the lamination direction and mutually opposing; and peripheral side faces adjacent to the pair of broad faces and extending in the lamination direction. The peripheral side faces are concavo-convex faces, in which concave portions and convex portions are arranged in alternation in the lamination direction. The laminate enters into the concave portions of the peripheral side faces.
