A surface-modified glass that includes glass containing at least one multivalent metal ion; and a silicate film on a surface of the glass, the silicate film containing a multivalent metal ion in common with that of the glass.

Surface-modified glass, electronic component, and method for forming silicate film

In a multilayer ceramic capacitor, a positional deviation in a lamination direction between end portions in a width direction intersecting the lamination direction and a length direction, of two of internal electrode layers adjacent to each other in the lamination direction, is about 5 μm or less. A connection ratio N1/N0 at the middle portion thereof, and a connection ratio N2/N0 at the end portion thereof are about 90% or more, respectively, and a difference between N1/N0 and N2/N0 is about 10% or less.

Multilayer ceramic capacitor

An inductor includes a body containing soft magnetic powder and resin, a coil embedded in the body, outer electrodes on the body, and a protective film on the surface of the body. The protective film has a thickness of 10 μm or more and contains silica particles and resin. In the protective film, the silica particles have an average diameter of 15 nm to 75 nm, and the percentage by weight of the silica particles to the resin is between 150% and 250%.

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers alternately laminated therein, and external electrode layers respectively provided on both end surfaces of the multilayer body in a length direction intersecting a lamination direction, and each connected to the internal electrode layers, the external electrode layers each further including a base electrode layer including a first region, a second region, and a third region divided therein, in order from the multilayer body. The first region includes a metal included in the internal electrode layers in a higher amount than the second region and the third region, the second region includes glass in a higher amount than the first region and the third region, and the third region includes copper in a higher amount than the first region and the second region.

In a three-terminal multilayer ceramic capacitor, each of first through fourth external electrodes includes a base electrode layer including a conductive metal and a glass component, an organic layer including an organosilicon compound covering the base electrode layer, and a plating layer on the organic layer. On a surface of the organic layer in a portion facing the plating layer, an atomic concentration ratio of Si to Cu is greater than or equal to about 1.5% and less than or equal to about 5.5%, or greater than or equal to about 0.8% and less than or equal to about 2.8%, and a surface roughness is greater than or equal to about 0.334 and less than or equal to about 0.371, or greater than or equal to about 0.352 and less than or equal to about 0.395.
