Abstract: A method of producing a dielectric material by preparing a slurry by mixing a dielectric powder, water, one of an organic-acid metal salt and an inorganic metal salt, and an organic silicon compound, causing the slurry to come into contact with an anion exchange resin to remove an anion derived from the one of the organic-acid metal salt and the inorganic metal salt from the slurry, and drying the slurry to obtain the dielectric material.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic substrate includes a base layer made of an aggregate of a first powder including a glass material and a first ceramic material, a constraining layer made of an aggregate of a second powder including a second ceramic material that is not sintered at a temperature at which the glass material melts, an intermediate layer made of an aggregate of a third powder including a viscosity-reducing material that reduces the viscosity of the melt of the glass material, and a conductive film disposed along at least one main surface of the base layer, the constraining layer, and the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is arranged such that one main surface thereof is in contact with the base layer and the other main surface thereof is in contact with the constraining layer. At least a portion of the first powder is in a sintered state.

Abstract: A composite laminate includes first sheet layers and second sheet layers. The first sheet layers include a first particulate aggregate and the second sheet layers include a second particulate aggregate. Each of internal second sheet layers is disposed between two first sheet layers and two external second sheet layers constitute two main faces of the composite laminate. The thickness of the internal second sheet layers is greater than the thickness of the external second sheet layers. The first sheet layers and the second sheet layers are bonded to each other by penetration of a part of the first particulate aggregate contained in the first sheet layers into the second sheet layers. This configuration can reduce the transverse shrinkage in the firing step of the composite laminate.
