Patent ID: 7828033

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a multilayer capacitor comprising: a first layer forming step of forming a first ceramic green layer on a support body; a first electrode forming step of forming a first electrode pattern on an upper surface of the first ceramic green layer; a second layer forming step of forming a second ceramic green layer by laminating onto the upper surface of the first ceramic green layer and an upper surface of the first electrode pattern; a second electrode forming step of forming a second electrode pattern at an upper surface of the second ceramic green layer in a location where the second electrode pattern and the first electrode pattern mutually overlap as seen from a direction of lamination; a separation step of separation the support body from a laminated body obtained by laminating the first ceramic green layer, the first electrode pattern, the second ceramic green layer and the second electrode pattern; an element forming step of preparing a plurality of the laminated bodies from which the support bodies are separated and forming an element by laminating the plurality of the laminated bodies such that, for two mutually adjacent laminated bodies, the second electrode pattern of one laminated body is in contact with the first ceramic green layer of the other laminated body; and a terminal forming step of forming a first terminal electrode on an outer surface of the element such as to connect with the first electrode pattern and the second electrode pattern included in a prescribed laminated body of the plurality of the laminated bodies and forming a second terminal electrode on the outer surface of the element such as to connect with the first electrode pattern and the second electrode pattern included in a prescribed laminated body of the plurality of the laminated bodies.
