Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plurality of thin-film, surface-mountable, electronic components, comprising the following successive steps: providing a substantially planar, ceramic substrate having a first and second major surface which are mutually parallel, the substrate containing a series of mutually parallel slots which extend from the first major surface through to the second major surface, such slots serving to subdivide the substrate into elongated segments extending parallel to the slots and located between consecutive pairs thereof, each segment having two oppositely located walls extending along the edges of the adjacent slots, each segment carrying a thin-film electrode structure on at least one of its first and second major surfaces; with the aid of a three-dimensional lithographic technique, providing electrical contacts which extend along both walls of each segment and which make electrical contact with the electrode structure on each segment; severing the segments into individual block-shaped co

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plurality of electronic multilayer component search of which alternately stacked electrically conductive and insulating layers alternately connected to opposite edges of the component, which method comprises: providing a substrate having a face endowed with a regular pattern of substantially parallel elongated protrusions separated by valleys; providing a first and a second flux of electrically conductive material in a direction subtending an angle of less than 90 with the substrate face and extending substantially parallel to the surface protrusions, and covering the thus-formed electrically conductive layers with intervening electrically insulating layers, the first and second fluxes having substantially oppositely directed in-plane components; providing said first and second fluxes with intervening insulating layers in an alternate manner as often as desired; dividing the substrate into strips, each including a protrusion, by severing the substrate along a series of planes, each
