Abstract:
A monolithic ceramic electronic component, comprising:a composite body having a plurality of stacked ceramic layers, the plurality of ceramic layers including: interconnecting conductors provided in each of the ceramic layers, including first terminals, arranged on a first end surface in the stacking direction of the composite body to define connections with an interconnection substrate, second terminals, arranged on a second end surface opposite of the first end surface of the composite to define connections with a mounted component, and interconnecting via-hole conductors inside the composite body; wherein the first terminals include conductor layers provided on the first end surface and the second terminals include exposed end surfaces of terminal via-hole conductors which extend from the inner portion of the composite body to the second end surface; and the second terminals have a substantially constant cross sectional size along the entire length thereof that is different from that of the of the interconnecting via-hole conductors.
