A method for manufacturing multilayer components, and a multilayer component are disclosed. The method includes manufacturing a body comprising electrically conductive layers and dielectric layers which are stacked one above the other, wherein the body comprises at least one cavity and at least partially filling the cavity with an insulation material using capillary forces. The method further includes after partially filling the cavity, singulating the body into at least two base bodies and applying a passivation layer to surfaces of the singulated base bodies, wherein the passivation layer comprises a material which is different from the insulation material.
