Patent ID: 7889044

Claim:
A multilayer coil component comprising: a magnetic ceramic element formed by firing a ceramic laminate which is formed by laminating magnetic ceramic layers to each other, the magnetic ceramic element including coil-forming internal conductors primarily composed of Ag, the internal conductors being interlayer-connected to each other to form a spiral coil, wherein no voids are present at interfaces between the internal conductors and a magnetic ceramic of the magnetic ceramic element located therearound, the internal conductors being separated from the magnetic ceramic at the interfaces therebetween, a magnetic ceramic of the magnetic ceramic element forming a central region, located between an uppermost external layer and a lowermost external layer of the internal conductors, has a region which extends from a side surface of the magnetic ceramic element to the internal conductors, the region extending from the side surface including a pore area ratio of 6% to 20%, and at least one of a first external layer region, located between an upper surface of the uppermost external layer of the internal conductors in the magnetic ceramic element and an upper surface of the first external layer region, and a second external layer region, located between a lower surface of the lowermost external layer of the internal conductors in the magnetic ceramic element and a lower surface of the second external layer region, has a pore area ratio of less than 5%.
