Abstract
A laminated inductor, as well as a method of manufacturing such a laminated inductor, are provided. The laminated inductor includes: a laminate; a pair of external electrodes arranged on the outer surfaces of the laminate respectively; and a coil, arranged within the laminate and formed by electrically connecting a plurality of strip-like conductor patterns. The conductor patterns have: a pair of broad faces, intersecting the lamination direction and mutually opposing; and peripheral side faces adjacent to the pair of broad faces and extending in the lamination direction. The peripheral side faces are concavo-convex faces, in which concave portions and convex portions are arranged in alternation in the lamination direction. The laminate enters into the concave portions of the peripheral side faces.
