Patent ID: 8631549

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a laminated ceramic capacitor, comprising: a step of preparing a laminate having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape including a first principal surface, a second principal surface, a first end surface, a second end surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface, the first and second end surfaces and the first and second side surfaces being connected to the first and second principal surfaces, and including a plurality of stacked insulating layers and a plurality of internal electrodes that extend between the insulating layers, the plurality of internal electrodes having end portions exposed at the first or second end surface, the end portions being insulated from each other; a step of forming an external electrode on each of the first and second end surfaces such that the first and second end surfaces of the laminate are directly subjected to plating such that plating deposits are formed on the exposed end portions of the internal electrodes and the plating deposits are grown so as to be connected to each other; and a step of forming thick end electrodes electrically connected to the external electrodes such that a conductive paste including metal particles and a glass frit is applied on edge portions of the first and second principal surfaces and first and second side surfaces of the laminate and then baked, the edge portions being adjacent to the first and second end surfaces of the laminate.
