Abstract: When a multilayer ceramic substrate with a cavity is reduced in thickness, a bottom wall portion defining the bottom of the cavity is reduced in thickness, thereby leading to the problem that the bottom wall portion is likely to be broken. A bottom wall portion defining a cavity of a multilayer ceramic substrate has a stack structure formed with a high thermal expansion coefficient layer sandwiched between first and second low thermal expansion coefficient layers. This configuration generates compression stress in the low thermal expansion coefficient layers during a cooling process after firing, thereby allowing the mechanical strength at the bottom wall portion to be improved.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic substrate includes a ceramic laminated body including a plurality of ceramic layers stacked on each other, a resistor, and a resistor connecting conductor with a portion overlapping the resistor and an overcoat layer that covers the resistor located on a principal surface of the ceramic laminated body. An overcoat layer is made relatively thick during firing, thereby making cracks less likely to be caused, and after the firing step, the thickness of the overcoat layer is reduced by physically scraping down the surface of the overcoat layer, thereby reducing the trimming time. In the overcoat layer, a region that covers a portion in which a resistor overlaps a resistor connecting conductor is thicker than a region that covers the other portion.

Abstract: A laminate type ceramic electronic component includes a thick film resistor and an overcoat layer so as to prevent defects such as delamination from being caused and to prevent the thick film resistor from being cracked after laser trimming, even when a method is adopted in which an unfired composite laminate is subjected to firing in such a way that an unfired ceramic laminate, an unfired thick film resistor, and an unfired overcoat layer are each integrally sintered. The unfired overcoat layer includes a glass ceramic material containing a ceramic and glass having substantially the same constituents and compositional ratio as those of the glass contained in the unfired ceramic layer.
