Patent ID: 8508914

Claim:
A ceramic electronic component, comprising: a first dielectric layer containing BaO, Nd 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 as main components; a second dielectric layer containing Mg 2 Sia 4 as a main component; and an intermediate layer provided between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer, wherein the intermediate layer contains: a component that is not contained in the second dielectric layer and is contained only in the first dielectric layer in a boundary between the intermediate layer and the first dielectric layer in a higher ratio than in a boundary between the intermediate layer and the second dielectric layer, a ratio of the component that is not contained in the second dielectric layer and is contained only in the first dielectric layer decreasing from a side of the first dielectric layer to a side of the second dielectric layer; and a component that is not contained in the first dielectric layer and is contained only in the second dielectric layer in the boundary between the intermediate layer and the second dielectric layer in a higher ratio than in the boundary between the intermediate layer and the first dielectric layer, a ratio of the component that is not contained in the first dielectric layer and is contained only in the second dielectric layer decreasing from the side of the second dielectric layer to the side of the first dielectric layer.
