A laminated electronic component is provided which comprises a layered
body of generally rectangular shape, including alternately laminated
dielectric layers 4 and internal electrode layers 3a and 3b, and external
electrodes 5b formed on both ends of the layered body and are connected
to the internal electrode layers 3a and 3b. Adjacent internal electrode
layers 3a and 3b are exposed alternately on either ends of the layered
body. The layered body includes a capacitance generation portion 6 where
the adjacent internal electrode layers 3a and 3b are overlapped, and
electrode extraction portions 7 where the adjacent internal electrode
layers 3a and 3b are not overlapped. The internal electrode 3a and 3b
have a first end that is connected to the external electrode 5b and a
second end that is not connected to the external electrode 5b. The
internal electrode layers 3a and 3b have a thickness that expands
gradually in a laminate direction and the opposite direction of the
internal electrode layers 3a and 3b so as to extend in a direction from
the second end to the first end to straddle at least a border between the
capacitance generation portion 6 and the electrode extraction portion 7.
