1. A method for manufacturing a multilayer electronic device, comprising the steps of:
preparing a laminate including a plurality of insulating layers laminated to each other and a plurality of internal electrodes formed along interfaces between the insulating layers, edges of the internal electrodes being exposed at a predetermined surface of the laminate; and
forming an external electrode on the predetermined surface so as to electrically connect the edges of the internal electrodes which are exposed at the predetermined surface of the laminate; wherein
the step of forming an external electrode includes the steps of:
adhering conductive particles having a particle diameter of about 1 μm or more to the predetermined surface of the laminate which is prepared in the step of preparing a laminate; and
performing plating directly on the predetermined surface to which the conductive particles are adhered.
