  • Patent number: 8226784
    Abstract: A method of forming a laminated body includes a first lamination step of forming a preceding lamination sheet which is substantially treated as one green sheet initially by laminating and bonding at least two green sheets together out of a plurality of green sheets; a printing step of printing a predetermined pattern on the preceding lamination sheet and at least one non-preceding lamination sheet which is a not used for forming the preceding lamination sheet; and a second lamination step of laminating and bonding the preceding lamination sheet and non-preceding lamination sheet, on which the predetermined pattern is printed in the printing step, in a predetermined order.

  • Publication number: 20100243445
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a gas sensor includes a step of printing a measuring electrode pattern on a ceramic green sheet for forming a measuring electrode, and a step of printing an electrode protection layer pattern on the measuring electrode pattern. The step of forming the protection layer pattern is performed by repeatedly printing a unit layer pattern several times by using a protection layer forming paste with ceramic powder mixed with a pore-forming agent in a predetermined ratio. A ratio of the pore-forming agent in the protection layer forming paste used for forming at least either one of a bottom unit layer pattern and an uppermost unit layer pattern is made larger than that of the pore-forming agent in the protection layer forming paste used for forming a unit layer pattern of other layers.
