First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A multilayer coil component comprising: a base body containing magnetic metal particles; and a coil embedded in the base body, wherein the coil includes a plurality of inner electrode layers containing silver, the inner electrode layers include a first inner electrode layer having a high pore area ratio and a second inner electrode layer having a low pore area ratio lower than the high pore area ratio, each of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer, and the first inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 10% to 20%, and the second inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 1% to 5%. 2 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 3 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 1 , wherein the base body includes a magnetic material layer containing the magnetic metal particles, and the magnetic material layer includes a first magnetic material layer containing insulation-coated magnetic metal particles and a second magnetic material layer containing magnetic metal particles having an oxide film on their surfaces. 4 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 3 , wherein each of two principal surfaces of the second inner electrode layer is in contact with the second magnetic material layer. 5 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 6 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 4 , wherein each of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 7 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 4 , wherein the first inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 10% to 20%, and the second inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 1% to 5%. 8 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 9 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 3 , wherein each of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 10 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 3 , wherein the first inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 10% to 20%, and the second inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 1% to 5%. 11 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 1 , wherein the base body includes a magnetic material layer containing the magnetic metal particles and a low-permeability layer having a lower magnetic permeability than the magnetic material layer, and the low-permeability layer is located between the plurality of inner electrodes layers. 12 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 11 , wherein each of two principal surfaces of the second inner electrode layer is in contact with the low-permeability layer. 13 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 12 , wherein the low-permeability layer is a non-magnetic ferrite layer. 14 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 12 , wherein at least one of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 15 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 11 , wherein the low-permeability layer is a non-magnetic ferrite layer. 16 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 17 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 11 , wherein each of a lowermost inner electrode layer and an uppermost inner electrode layer is the first inner electrode layer. 18 . The multilayer coil component according to claim 11 , wherein the first inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 10% to 20%, and the second inner electrode layer has a pore area ratio of from 1% to 5%.
