Abstract
Abstract A high degree of freedom of design and high density mounting are achieved with a laminated electronic part having a structure such that the occurrence of floating capacitance can be restrained. The laminated electronic part is formed of a first layer and a second layer which are joined to each other with a third layer sandwiched therebetween. The first and second layers may be formed of dielectrics having substantially different respective dielectric constants, and the third layer is formed of a dielectric having a dielectric constant lower than that of the first and second layers, or an insulator. Connecting conductors are provided inside the third layer. A through-conductor inside the first layer can be connected to a through-conductor inside the second, for example, layer via the connecting conductor inside the third layer.
