Patent ID: 8254081

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a laminated ceramic electronic component including a plurality of laminated ceramic layers and an inner electrode that is formed along an interface between the ceramic layers, and comprises a component main body having first and second main surfaces opposing each other, first and second end surfaces that connect the first and second main surfaces with each other, and first and second side surfaces, with one portion of an end edge of the inner electrode being exposed to at least one of the first and second end surfaces of the component main body, and an external electrode that is formed at least on the end surface of the component main body to which the inner electrode is exposed, the method comprising the steps of: preparing the component main body; applying a brazing material containing Ti to at least one portion of a surface of the component main body where the external electrode is to be formed; baking the brazing material so that a metal layer is formed on the component main body; carrying out a plating process so that a plated film that forms at least one portion of the external electrode is formed so as to cover at least a portion to which the inner electrode is exposed and a portion in which the metal layer is formed in the component main body; and carrying out a heating process so that a counter diffusion is caused between the metal layer and the plated film.
