Patent ID: 6974916

Claim:
A laminated ceramic electronic component comprising: a laminated member including a plurality of stacked ceramic layers having at least two first ceramic layers and at least one second ceramic layer which is thinner than said at least two first ceramic layers; and wiring conductors provided for a certain layer of said ceramic layers and including a via-hole conductor extending through said certain layer and a conductor extending along the principal surface of said certain layer; wherein via-hole conductors of different ceramic layers have different sectional sizes; and the aspect ratio expressed by H/D is within the range of approximately 0.1 to approximately 3.0, wherein H and D represent the height and radial length for each of said via-hole conductors, respectively; a first via-hole conductor extends through each of said at least two first ceramic layers; a second via-hole conductor extends through said said at least one second ceramic layer; and the at least one second ceramic layer is disposed inside the laminated member, such that the at least one second ceramic layer is disposed between the at least two first ceramic layers.
