Claim Text:
1. An electronic component comprising: a laminate formed by laminating a plurality of insulator layers; a coil including linear coil conductor layers laminated along with the insulator layers, the coil having a spiral form; and via-hole conductors extending through the insulator layers and connecting the coil conductor layers, wherein, in a cross section perpendicular to a direction in which the coil conductor layers extend, the coil conductor layers have recesses provided in surfaces directed toward an inner circumference side of the coil, the recesses being set back toward an outer circumference side of the coil, the recesses are positioned in portions of the coil conductor layers a spaced distance from the via-hole conductors along the direction in which the coil conductor layers extend, and the recesses have a depth of greater than or equal to 6 μm and less than 20 μm.
