Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a chip-type electronic component having a plurality of internal electrode films and ceramic layers alternately laminated with each other, a lead-out portion of one of every two adjacent internal electrode films being exposed at one of two diametrical ends in a lengthwise direction, a lead-out portion of the other internal electrode film of said every two adjacent internal electrode films being exposed at the other of two diametrical ends in said lengthwise direction, and external electrodes being electrically connected with said lead-out portions of said internal electrode films, said method comprising the steps of:forming a ceramic laminated substrate containing a plurality of electronic component elements; printing a conductive paste along cutting lines on said ceramic laminated substrate corresponding to lead-out portions at which said internal electrode films are exposed, with said conductive paste printed in a strip over both sides of said cutting lines on a surface of an outermost layer; drying the printed conductive paste; cutting said ceramic laminated substrate along said dried conductive paste printed in the strip over both sides of the cutting lines to take out said electronic component elements such that each of said electronic components includes soldering portions corresponding to portions of the dried printed conductive paste; and pressing diametrical end surfaces of said ceramic laminated substrate at which said internal electrode films are exposed in each of said electronic component elements thus taken out against a thin film constituted of conductive paste to form a transfer film constituted of said conductive paste, wherein the printing step is performed prior to any cutting step.
