Patent ID: 6860006

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a monolithic ceramic electronic component, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a composite sheet including a ceramic green sheet and a carrier film; forming through holes which penetrate at least the ceramic green sheet in the composite sheet; forming conductive paste sections by filling the through holes with a conductive paste; forming a conductive paste layer by applying the conductive paste on the outer main surface of the ceramic green sheet of the composite sheet; separating the carrier film from the ceramic green sheet; forming a green composite body by stacking a plurality of the ceramic green sheets; and firing the green composite body; wherein at least a portion of the conductive paste layers defines the conductive layer constituting the first terminal and at least a portion of the conductive paste sections defines the terminal via-hole conductor; and the step of forming a conductive paste layer is performed before the step of separating the carrier film from the ceramic green sheet.
