A laminated coil component includes a multilayer body in which a coil, which is obtained by electrically connecting a plurality of coil conductors with a via conductor interposed therebetween, is provided in an inside of an insulator portion which is obtained by laminating a plurality of insulation layers. Each of a first coil conductor and a second coil conductor that are adjacent to each other in a lamination direction and are electrically connected in series with a first via conductor interposed therebetween includes a first main surface that faces the opposite direction to the lamination direction and on which a void exists. The second coil conductor includes a second main surface that faces the lamination direction and on which another void exists, and the other void locally exists on a position opposed to the first via conductor.

Laminated coil component

A method for producing a multilayer coil component includes preparing an insulating sheet; forming a resin paste layer on the insulating sheet by using a resin paste; forming a conductive paste layer by using a conductive paste, the conductive paste layer covering the resin paste layer and having a projecting portion at a portion where a second void portion is to be formed; forming an insulating paste layer on the insulating sheet by using an insulating paste such that at least part of an upper surface of the conductive paste layer is exposed; stacking the insulating sheets having the resin paste layer, the conductive paste layer, and the insulating paste layer formed thereon to form a multilayer compact that includes the conductive paste layers connected into a coil shape; and firing the multilayer compact.

Multilayer coil component

A coil component in which stress inside thereof is alleviated and the DC resistance is low. A multilayer coil component includes an element body that includes an insulator portion and a coil embedded in the insulator portion; and outer electrodes disposed on surfaces of the insulator portion and electrically connected to ends of the coil. There is a groove-shaped void portion at a boundary between the coil and the insulator portion, and the void portion extends in a length direction of the coil. The coil has a ridge in the void portion, and the ridge extends in the length direction of the coil.

Coil component

A multilayer coil component includes a multilayer body that includes insulating layers that are stacked; a coil disposed in the multilayer body; and outer electrodes disposed on surfaces of the multilayer body and electrically connected to the coil. The coil includes at least two coil conductor groups that each include at least two coil conductors connected to each other in parallel through two coupling conductors. The at least two coil conductor groups are connected to each other in series through a connecting conductor. The connecting conductor connects the coil conductor between the two coupling conductors in one of the at least two coil conductor groups to the coil conductor between the two coupling conductors in another one of the at least two coil conductor groups.

A highly reliable multilayer coil component in which the internal stress is further alleviated, and a method for producing the same. The method produces a multilayer coil component that includes an insulator portion, a coil that is embedded in the insulator portion and includes a plurality of coil conductor layers electrically connected to one another, and an outer electrode that is disposed on a surface of the insulator portion and is electrically connected to an extended portion of the coil. The method includes forming a conductive paste layer by using a conductive paste; forming an insulating paste layer by using an insulating paste; forming a multilayer compact that includes the conductive paste layer and the insulating paste layer; and firing the multilayer compact, in which the conductive paste has a PVC of 60% or more and 80% or less (i.e., from 60% to 80%).
