Patent number: 6793751Abstract: A method for manufacturing a laminated ceramic electronic component allows for production of highly reliable laminated ceramic electronic components even when the coating rate of a ceramic slurry on a surface of a carrier film is increased in order to reduce the thickness of the ceramic green sheet. A ceramic green sheet is formed by pulling out a carrier film from a carrier film roll, coating the film with a ceramic slurry using a coating apparatus, drying the film with a drying apparatus, and rolling up the film using a take-up apparatus. The carrier film is unrolled, an internal electrode pattern is printed thereon by a printing apparatus, the surface of the film is dried, and the film is rolled up by the take-up apparatus. The rolled carrier film is pulled out, the ceramic green sheet is peeled away, and a plurality of the ceramic green sheets are laminated. Following the cutting of the laminated body into individual elements, these elements are fired, and external electrodes are formed thereon.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takanobu Katsuyama, Eiji Ito, Nagato Omori, Yasunobu Yoneda
