Abstract: A method of manufacturing multilayer ceramic capacitors characterized by the following steps:forming dielectric foils comprising a mixture of an organic binder with an oxidic ceramic powder;stacking these foils alternately with layers of electrically conductive material which function as electrodes;heating the stack to a previously determined temperature below the atmospheric pressure sintering temperature of the oxidic ceramic powder while simultaneously applying a uniaxial pressure in the direction of stacking to form a unit;releasing the pressure and cooling; andsevering the unit into individual capacitor bodies.
