A multilayer microelectronic circuit to be directly mounted on a substrate
and to be used, for example, as a resonator. The multilayer
microelectronic circuit comprises a plurality of dielectric layers and
patterned electrodes which are laminated one upon another to form a
laminated structure, the dielectric layers and the patterned electrodes
forming an electrical circuit. The laminated structure has side surfaces
extending along a direction in which the dielectric layers and the
patterned electrodes are laminated. An input line is formed at one of the
side surfaces and connected with an input section of the electrical
circuit. An output line is formed at one of the side surfaces and
connected with an output section of the electrical circuit. A grounding
line is formed at one of the side surfaces and connected with a grounding
section of the electrical circuit. Additionally, a signal line formed at
one of the side surfaces, for connecting sections of the electrical
circuit. The signal line has an end positioned adjacent a mounting surface
at which the multilayer microelectronic circuit is directly mounted on the
substrate, in which the end of the signal line is separate from the
mounting surface so as to be insulated from electrical contact with the
substrate.
