Patent ID: 8149566

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a laminated electronic component, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a component main body having a laminated structure, the component main body including a plurality of internal electrodes formed therein, and each of the internal electrodes being partially exposed on an external surface of the component main body; and forming an external terminal electrode on the external surface of the component main body such that the external terminal electrode is electrically connected to the internal electrodes; wherein the step of forming the external terminal electrode includes the steps of: forming a first plating layer on exposed surfaces of the internal electrodes in the component main body; applying a water repellant at least on a surface of the first plating layer and on a section of the external surface of the component main body at which an end edge of the first plating layer is located; and then forming a second plating layer on the first plating layer having the water repellant applied thereon.
