Abstract:
1. A ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body; a plurality of internal electrodes provided in the ceramic body and including ends exposed on a surface of the ceramic body; at least one glass coating layer covering a portion of the surface of the ceramic body on which the plurality of internal electrodes are exposed; and at least one electrode terminal provided directly on the at least one glass coating layer and including a plating film; wherein the at least one glass coating layer is made of a glass medium in which metal powder particles are dispersed; the plurality of internal electrodes project from the surface of the ceramic body into the at least one glass coating layer without passing through the at least one glass coating layer; the at least one glass coating layer is a composite film in which the glass medium and the metal powder particles are integrally bonded; the at least one glass coating layer has a thickness of about 1 to 10 μm; the metal powder particles define conduction paths electrically connecting the plurality of internal electrodes with the at least one electrode terminal; and all of the metal powder particles are not sintered together and the glass medium continuously exists to join the spaces between the metal powder particles.
