Patent ID: 7743493

Claim:
In a method for manufacturing a ceramic electronic component comprising the steps of forming onto a ceramic green sheet an electrically conductive film having an electrically conductive pattern of said electronic component and of thereafter sintering said ceramic green sheet and said electrically conductive film to form said electronic component, the improvement comprising the steps of providing a photo-resist of a dry film carried on a release film; patterning said photo resist to correspond to said electrically conductive pattern of said electronic component; applying an electrically conductive paste on said patterned photo-resist before or after said dry film is adhered to said ceramic green sheet; removing said release film from said photo-resist of said dry film; drying and solidifying said electrically conductive paste to form said electrically conductive film; and removing said photo-resist of said dry film from said ceramic green sheet to form said electrically conductive film on said ceramic green sheet.
