Abstract
A chip inductor is constructed by alternately laminating plural conductor patterns and plural insulating layers on and above a ceramic substrate, and connecting the plural conductor patterns to each other in series in a lamination direction thereof so as to constitute a coil. Specifically, the number of turns of the lowermost conductor pattern disposed directly on the ceramic substrate is larger than the number of turns of the other plural conductor patterns and the number of turns of the other plural conductor patterns are substantially equal to each other. Preferably, the number of turns of the lowermost conductor pattern is about 1.5 times the number of turns of the other plural conductor patterns.
