Abstract

A piezoelectric multilayer component is specified. At least one external electrode is fixed to a stack of piezoelectric layers and electrode layers arranged therebetween. At least one region of the external electrode projects beyond the stack and the external electrode is at least partly pressure-deformed in said region. Furthermore, a method for forming an external electrode in a piezoelectric multilayer component is specified.
