Abstract: A sintered ceramic has a porosity of greater than about 30 percent and less than about 80 percent by volume. Pores are filled with an epoxy resin. A filling factor of the epoxy resin is about 40 percent by volume or more. A monolithic ceramic electronic component having an inner electrode, for example, a chip inductor is manufactured with such a porous sintered ceramic. When a direct current is superimposed, the resulting monolithic ceramic electronic component has a substantially unchanged self-resonant frequency and also has a rate of decrease in impedance of about 50 percent or less at 100 MHz.

Abstract: A conductor pattern for forming coils and lead-out electrodes which are led out from the coils are formed on a magnetic substance sheet. Furthermore, said magnetic substance sheet is provided with through-holes for connecting the conductor patterns. The magnetic substance sheets disposed respectively just over and just under the conductor pattern that becomes the lead-out electrodes are coated with non-magnetic material paste. A laminated chip common mode choke coil is produced by laminating these magnetic substance sheets and baking them integrally and thereafter forming external electrodes. The non-magnetic material diffuses into the magnetic substance sheet by baking the lamination of the magnetic substance sheets, and the permeability of that portion becomes low. Therefore, the magnetic reluctance around the lead-out electrode becomes high, thus reducing leakage flux around that portion. Thereby, coupling between two coils formed in the choke coil becomes good.
