Patent ID: 7155816

Claim:
A method for producing a multilayer ceramic substrate having a cavity formed therein, comprising: punching a through opening corresponding to the cavity in green sheets constituting a laminate, and printing a conductor at a predetermined position of the green sheets, and then laminating the green sheets to constitute a green sheet laminate; and applying a pressure of 30 to 150 MPa to the green sheet laminate by using a compression member having a projection at a position corresponding to said cavity to thereby compress the green sheet laminate, wherein: said projection has a height which is equal to the depth of the cavity multiplied by compression ratio of the green sheet laminate, a clearance between the projection and side surfaces of said cavity is from 5 μm to 60 μm, and the green sheet laminate is compressed by applying the pressure such that compression ratio of the bottom of the cavity is identical with the compression ratio of other parts of the green sheet laminate.
