Patent ID: 7586048

Claim:
An electronic component including a circuit element inside of the electronic component, comprising a lead-out electrode including a first electrode which is electrically connected to the circuit element and which has an exposed part exposed on an outer surface of the electronic component and a second electrode which has an exposed part exposed on the outer surface of the electronic component to extend an electrode width different from that of the first electrode and which is formed on the first electrode and electrically connected to the first electrode at the exposed part; and a protective layer formed above the lead-out electrode to protect the lead-out electrode and the circuit element, wherein the first electrode has a first side surface, a second side surface, and a top surface, the top surface being completely covered by the second electrode, wherein the second electrode covers the first side surface of the first electrode, the second side surface of the first electrode, and the top surface of the first electrode, and makes contact with the substrate, and the protective layer is a continuous film covering from a top surface of the lead-out electrode to the substrate.
