Patent ID: 7323807

Claim:
A multilayer electronic component constructed by alternately laminating a matrix layer and an inner electrode; wherein the multilayer electronic component includes a plurality of matrix layers and a plurality of inner electrodes; wherein the plurality of inner electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode with the matrix layer interposed therebetween; wherein each of the first electrodes includes a plurality of first through hole electrodes, and each of the second electrodes includes a plurality of second through hole electrodes; wherein each of the matrix layers is formed with the plurality of first through hole electrodes and the plurality of second through hole electrodes; and wherein the plurality of inner electrodes, the plurality of first through hole electrodes, and the plurality of second through hole electrodes are disposed so as not to be exposed to side faces of the multilayer electronic component; wherein the plurality of matrix layers include first and second matrix layers alternately laminated with the inner electrodes interposed therebetween; wherein the first matrix layer includes a first electrode forming region having a surface formed with the first electrode and the first through hole electrodes formed therein, and a plurality of first connection regions respectively formed with the second through hole electrodes; wherein the second matrix layer includes a second electrode forming region having a surface formed with the second electrode and the second through hole electrodes formed therein, and a plurality of second connection regions respectively formed with the first through hole electrodes; wherein a first connecting pattern electrically connected to the second through hole electrode is formed on the surface of each of the first connection regions in the first matrix layer; wherein a second connecting pattern electrically connected to the first through hole electrode is formed on the surface of each of the second connection regions in the second matrix layer; wherein the plurality of first through hole electrodes are arranged in a staggered manner with respect to a laminating direction of the matrix layers; wherein the plurality of second through hole electrodes are arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the laminating direction of the matrix layers; wherein the first connecting pattern and the second connecting patter have a quadrangular form; wherein the first through hole electrodes that are adjacent in the lamination direction of the matrix layers and the inner electrodes are mutually disposed at different corners of the second connecting pattern; and wherein the second through hole electrodes that are adjacent in the lamination direction of the matrix layers and the inner electrodes are mutually disposed at different corners of the first connecting pattern.
