Abstract
The invention provides an electronic component and a manufacturing method thereof that: can allow electronic components to be mounted on an external substrate at a higher density than before; can adjust the height (level) of a terminal electrode as required and desired, thereby solving problems that would occur in the inspection of the conventional electronic components; and can also improve the yield in the mounting of electronic components, thereby achieving increased productivity. A capacitor, which is an electronic component, has: a first upper electrodeformed above a substrate; a first seatand a second seatwhich are formed adjacent to the first upper electrode; passivation layersandthat cover the first upper electrodeand the first and second seatsand; and a terminal electrodeformed above the first and second seatsandand connected to the first upper electrodevia via-conductors Va and Vc which are formed through the passivation layersandrespectively.
