Patent ID: 7662430

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a ceramic electronic component comprising: forming through holes in ceramic green sheets containing first ceramic particles; filling the through holes with a paste containing second ceramic particles wherein the second ceramic particles are the same material as the first ceramic particles and an average particle diameter of the second ceramic particles is smaller than that of the first ceramic particles; and firing the ceramic green sheets and the paste, wherein a sintering initiation temperature T 1 at which the first ceramic particles start sintering with the second ceramic particles at a boundary of the ceramic green sheets and the paste, a sintering initiation temperature T 2 at which the first ceramic particles inside the ceramic green sheets start sintering with each other and a sintering initiation temperature T 3 at which the second ceramic particles inside the paste start sintering with each other are set so as to satisfy both relationships (1) and (2): T 1 <T 2 (1) T 1 <T 3 (2).
