Abstract
A multilayer-type inductor manufacturing method is provided which is capable of easily obtaining inductors having many different inductance values even if the pattern of a coil conductor is not changed for each inductance value. The coil conductor includes a line section of a predetermined pattern, a viahole connected at the end of the line section, and a pad. The viahole and the pad have a width greater than that of the line section and have an elongated shape. By deviating adjacent coil conductors in the direction of the length of the viahole and the pad, the inner area of a coil formed of the coil conductors is increased or decreased, thus varying the inductance value of an inductor.
