  • Patent number: 8898886
    Abstract: A method for producing a laminated ceramic electronic component includes the steps of preparing ceramic green sheets, transferring an inner conductor pattern layer and a lead conductor pattern layer formed on a support on the ceramic green sheets to form the inner conductor and the lead conductor on the ceramic green sheets, laminating the ceramic green sheets to cover the inner conductor and the lead conductor, and firing the ceramic laminated product. In the step of forming the inner conductor and the lead conductor, the inner conductor pattern layer is transferred onto the ceramic green sheet a plurality of times so as to overlap each other, thereby forming the inner conductor, and the lead conductor pattern layer is transferred onto the ceramic green sheet, wherein the number of times of the transferring is less than the number of times of the transferring of the inner conductor pattern layer.

  • Publication number: 20110100527
    Abstract: A laminated ceramic electronic component includes a plurality of conductor pattern layers for a coil arranged to overlap each other to form substantially U-shaped conductors for the coil. The conductors for the coil are electrically connected in series through via holes for inner layer connection provided in ceramic green sheets to form a spiral coil. A plurality of lead conductor pattern layers also overlaps each other to form lead conductors. One lead conductor pattern layer is disposed per a predetermined number of conductor pattern layers for the coil. An end of each lead conductor pattern layer is in contact with the corresponding conductor pattern layer for the coil. In other words, the thickness of the lead conductors is less than the thickness of the conductors for the coil.

  • Patent number: 6730183
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a laminated ceramic electronic component is performed such that the thickness of the inner electrode is greatly increased, delamination does not occur, and reliability is superior. The manufacturing method for the laminated ceramic electronic component includes a process in which a green sheet including the inner electrode paste layer and the ceramic paste layer, is provided on a carrier sheet such that the inner electrode paste layer penetrates the green sheet from the top surface to the bottom surface thereof, and a process, in which laminates of the green sheet and the carrier film are adhered by pressing, and thereafter the carrier film is peeled off, are repeated to obtain the ceramic laminate, and the ceramic laminate is fired after pressing in the direction of the thickness to obtain the ceramic sintered body.
