Patent attributes
A highly reliable multilayer coil component is provided without forming voids between magnetic ceramic layers and internal conductor layers. According to the multilayer coil component, an internal stress problem is reduced, the direct current resistance is low, and fracture of internal conductors caused by the surge or the like is not likely to occur. An acidic solution is allowed to permeate a magnetic ceramic element from a side surface thereof through a side gap portion which is a region between side portions of the internal conductors and the side surface of the magnetic ceramic element and to reach interfaces between the internal conductors and a magnetic ceramic located therearound. A pore area ratio of the magnetic ceramic of the side gap portion which is located between the side portions of the internal conductors and the side surface of the magnetic ceramic element is set in the range of 6% to 28%.
