Abstract: When step parts are formed such that the surfaces of a capacitor element drop down on both the sides of a part served as a gap and the capacitor element is soaked into a conductive paste, the step parts are designed to interrupt the conductive paste to flow up. And, the conductor film is adhered also on the step parts. Thereby, the edges of the electrodes made of the conductor film are not only opposed each other with the gap interpolated therebetween, but also opposed electrodes are formed on the parts of the step parts. Thereby, a high capacitance can be acquired. Further, a resin is coated on a part where an insulating coating is formed, and the resin flows into recessed parts adjacent to the step parts. Therefore, the outside diameter of the insulating coating does not extremely increase.
