Patent ID: 8174349

Claim:
An electronic component comprising: a substrate; at least one passive element formed on a top surface of the substrate; an insulation layer that is formed on the top surface of the substrate and covers said at least one passive element; a plurality of conductor layers electrically connected to said at least one passive element and formed on a part of the insulation layer on an outer side of said insulation layer, such that the part of the insulation layer on the outer side of the insulation layer is between the plurality of conductor layers and the substrate, the plurality of conductor layers extending to at least a part of an upper surface of said electronic component; a plurality of external electrodes, each being formed in a L-shaped section, the L-shaped section having a first part formed to coat said plurality of conductor layers at the part of the upper surface of said electronic component, and a second part formed to coat at least one side surface of said electronic component, the second part extending from the upper surface of the electronic component along the at least one side surface downward towards the part of the insulation layer on the outer side of the insulation layer without reaching the substrate; and a magnetic-material contained layer filled between said plurality of conductor layers.
