Patent ID: 7394646

Claim:
A laminated ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic substrate; an internal electrode; and a buffer layer, wherein said ceramic substrate includes a protective layer and a functional layer, said protective layer is disposed on at least one side of said functional layer, said internal electrode is embedded in said functional layer, and said buffer layer is embedded in said protective layer and has a different burning shrinkage from said ceramic substrate, wherein |α1−α2 |<|α1−α3| where α 1 represents a burning shrinkage of said functional layer, which is a resultant of a burning shrinkage of said internal electrode and a burning shrinkage of said ceramic substrate surrounding said internal electrode, α 2 represents a burning shrinkage of said protective layer, which is a resultant of a burning shrinkage of said buffer layer and a burning shrinkage of said ceramic substrate surrounding said buffer layer, and α 3 represents a burning shrinkage of said ceramic substrate constituting said protective layer.
