Patent ID: 8264302

Claim:
A multilayer resonator comprising: a multilayer body defined by a laminate including a plurality of dielectric layers; first and second mounting surface electrodes each defining a ground electrode or an input-output electrode, substantially an entire area of each of the first and second mounting surface electrodes being provided on a mounting surface of the multilayer body, and the mounting surface extending in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a lamination direction of the plurality of dielectric layers; first and second capacitor internal electrodes provided on different ones of the plurality of dielectric layers and arranged to extend along the mounting surface direction such as to overlap each other in the lamination direction of the plurality of dielectric layers; an inductor internal electrode provided on one of the plurality of dielectric layers that is different from the ones of the plurality of dielectric layers including the first and second capacitor internal electrodes provided thereon; a first inductor via electrode electrically connected to the inductor internal electrode and the first capacitor internal electrode; a second inductor via electrode electrically connected to the inductor internal electrode and the second capacitor internal electrode; a first mounting surface connection via electrode electrically connected to the first capacitor internal electrode and to the first mounting surface electrode; and a second mounting surface connection via electrode electrically connected to the second capacitor internal electrode and to the second mounting surface electrode; wherein the first capacitor internal electrode is located closer to the mounting surface than the second capacitor internal electrode and is arranged so that the first capacitor internal electrode does not overlap the second mounting surface electrode when viewed in a plan view taken in the lamination direction of the plurality of dielectric layers.
