Disclosed herein is an electronic component that includes a first conductive layer including a lower electrode and a first inductor pattern, a dielectric film that covers the lower electrode, an upper electrode laminated on the lower electrode through the dielectric film, an insulating layer that covers the first conductive layer, dielectric film, and upper electrode, and a second conductive layer formed on the insulating layer and including a second inductor pattern. The first and second inductor patterns are connected in parallel through via conductors penetrating the insulating layer.

Electronic component

An LC composite component includes one or more inductors, one or more capacitors, a magnetic layer, and a substrate. The substrate has a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The magnetic layer is disposed to face the first surface of the substrate. The one or more inductors are disposed between the first surface of the substrate and the magnetic layer. The substrate has a thickness greater than that of the magnetic layer in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the substrate. The substrate has a complex permeability having a real part and an imaginary part that are respectively smaller than the real part and the imaginary part of the complex permeability of the magnetic layer.

LC composite component

A high frequency filter incorporates: an unbalanced input/output terminal; two balanced input/output terminals; two resonators respectively provided between the unbalanced input/output terminal and the two balanced input/output terminals; and a layered substrate for integrating components of the high frequency filter. The two resonators are inductively coupled to each other, and are also capacitively coupled to each other through two capacitors. Each of the two capacitors is formed using a pair of first and second electrodes and a dielectric layer. The first electrode is connected to one of the resonators via a through hole. The second electrode is connected to the other of the resonators and opposed to the first electrode forming the pair with the second electrode, the dielectric layer being disposed between the second electrode and the first electrode.

High frequency filter

A high frequency filter comprises a first resonator and a second resonator provided inside a layered substrate. The first and second resonators are inductively coupled and capacitively coupled to each other through a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected to each other in parallel. The first capacitor is formed using first and third electrodes and a dielectric layer. The first electrode is connected to the first resonator via a through hole. The third electrode is connected to the second resonator and opposed to the first electrode. The second capacitor is formed using second and fourth electrodes and the dielectric layer. The second electrode is connected to the second resonator via a through hole. The fourth electrode is connected to the first resonator and opposed to the second electrode.

A high frequency filter incorporates first to third resonators provided inside a layered substrate. The first and third resonators are adjacent to each other and inductively coupled to each other. The second and third resonators are also adjacent to each other and inductively coupled to each other. The first and second resonators are not adjacent to each other but are capacitively coupled to each other through a conductor layer for capacitive coupling. The conductor layer for capacitive coupling incorporates: a first portion for forming a first capacitor between itself and the first resonator; a second portion for forming a second capacitor between itself and the second resonator; and a third portion having an end connected to the first portion and the other end connected to the second portion, the ends being opposed to each other in the longitudinal direction. The width of at least part of the third portion is smaller than the width of each of the first portion and the second portion.
