Patent ID: 7875140

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic substrate, comprising: a) discharging a droplet of a conductive ink on a first green sheet and a second green sheet so as to draw liquid patterns made of the conductive ink on the first green sheet and the second green sheet; b) drying the liquid patterns so as to form dry patterns; c) laminating the first green sheet and the second green sheet including the dry patterns so as to form a laminated body, and applying hydrostatic pressure on the laminated body that is decompress-packaged so as to form a pressure-bonded body; and d) firing the pressure-bonded body so as to form the multilayer ceramic substrate, wherein in the step a), the liquid patterns drawn on the first green sheet and the second green sheet include wiring liquid patterns and dummy liquid patterns, the dummy liquid patterns being drawn on opposing sides of each wiring liquid pattern, a wiring liquid pattern drawn on the first green sheet being overlapped with a wiring liquid pattern drawn on the second green sheet in a laminating direction, the dummy liquid patterns drawn on the first green sheet being overlapped by the dummy liquid patterns drawn on the second green sheet, an external lateral end of the dry pattern of the dummy liquid pattern being deformed, and the external lateral end being at an opposite side relative to the dry pattern of the wiring liquid pattern.
