Abstract

An electronic device such as a chip coil including an electric wire firmly connected to electrodes in a highly reliable fashion is constructed to be mounted on a printed circuit board or substrate in a stable and reliable manner. At both ends of a core of the chip coil, there are provided electrodes having a multilayer structure including a high-conductivity layer made of Ag, Ag--Pd, or a similar material; a solder barrier layer made of Ni; and an easy-soldering layer made of Sn or solder. End portions of the electric wire are embedded in the easy-soldering layer so that the resultant electrode structure has a substantially flat surface. A thermo-compression process is performed so that the end portions of the electric wire are connected to the solder barrier layer via solid welding and to the easy-soldering layer via brazing.
