Abstract:
A method for manufacturing multilayer ceramic capacitors comprising the steps of:forming a conductive paste layer by screen printing a conductive paste on green ceramic sheets,stacking the resultant green ceramic sheets to form a multilayered body, andfiring the multilayered body,wherein said conductive paste consists essentially of 50 to 70% of an organic vehicle and 30 to 50% of a metal powder having a particle size range of 0.1 to 1.5 .mu.m and a mean particle size of 0.3 to 1.0 .mu.m,and wherein each particle of said powder is formed entirely of a metal selected from the group consisting of Pd, Au, Ag, and Pt, at least one particle being formed from Pd.
