Abstract
In a monolithic inductor wherein a coil conductor section of at least one turn at a certain height is formed, and a plurality of coil conductor sections are electrically connected via a via-hole electrode, a structure that can increase the inductance obtaining efficiency is provided. The monolithic inductor comprising a coil conducting section of at least one turn at a certain height of the sintered ceramic body formed of magnetic ceramics, wherein a coil is formed by electrically connecting a plurality of coil conductor sections via a via-hole electrode, and the terminal end of the upper coil conductor section and the beginning end of the lower coil conductor section are bent inwardly of the coil when viewed from the top so that the inner connecting portion of the coil where the upper and lower coil conductor sections are electrically connected via a via-hole electrode is situated within the coil composed of the upper and lower coil conductor sections.
