Patent ID: 8484815

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a laminated electronic component including an electronic component main body including a plurality of laminated functional layers, internal conductors which are disposed inside the electronic component main body and a portion of which are exposed at outer surfaces of the electronic component main body, and external terminal electrodes disposed on the outer surfaces of the electronic component main body so as to connect to the internal conductors and to cover the exposed portions of the internal conductors, the method comprising the steps of: forming a substrate plating film having an average particle diameter of metal particles of at least about 1.0 μm directly on the outer surfaces of the electronic component main body by direct plating so as to cover the exposed portions of the internal conductors and form the external terminal electrodes on the electronic component main body; forming an upper first plating film on the substrate plating film; and forming an upper second plating film on the upper first plating film; wherein the steps of forming the substrate plating film, forming the upper first plating film, and forming the upper second plating film are performed sequentially.
