Patent ID: 8795454

Claim:
A manufacturing method for a monolithic ceramic electronic component, comprising the steps of: preparing a mother block including a plurality of ceramic green sheets that are stacked on each other, and an internal electrode pattern arranged along each of a plurality of interfaces between the ceramic green sheets; and cutting the mother block along a first cutting line and a second cutting line extending in mutually perpendicular or substantially perpendicular directions to obtain a plurality of green chips, the green chips each having a laminated structure including a plurality of ceramic layers and a plurality of internal electrodes that are in a raw state, the internal electrodes being exposed on a cut side surface that is produced by cutting along the first cutting line; wherein the green chips obtained by the cutting step are arrayed in row and column directions; and the manufacturing method further comprises the step of, after the cutting step, tumbling the green chips in a state in which the green chips arrayed in the row and column directions are spaced apart from each other, to make the cut side surface of each of the green chips uniformly an open surface; and further comprising the steps of: affixing a side surface ceramic green sheet to the cut side surface; and placing the side surface ceramic green sheet which is not backed with a carrier film on an affixation elastic body, which is deformed during the manufacturing method.
