Abstract

A method for forming an internal electrode pattern having a predetermined shape includes the following: a step of forming a conductive layer by applying a metal paste on a first support, the metal paste containing metal powder and a binder; a step of forming a resin layer on a second support, the resin layer having a pattern negative to the internal electrode pattern; a step of compression bonding the first support and the second support to each other in such a manner that the conductive layer and the resin layer are opposite to each other; and a step of removing the second support from the first support so as to transfer a conductive layer to the second support, the conductive layer having the pattern negative to the internal electrode pattern, thereby forming the internal electrode pattern having the predetermined shape on the first support.

Claims (14)

1. A method for forming an internal electrode pattern having a predetermined shape, the method comprising:

a first step of forming a conductive layer by applying a metal paste on a first support, the metal paste containing metal powder and a binder;

a second step of forming a resin layer on a second support, the resin layer having a pattern negative to the internal electrode pattern;

a third step of compression bonding the first support and the second support to each other in such a manner that the conductive layer and the resin layer are opposite to each other; and

a fourth step of removing the second support from the first support so as to transfer a conductive layer to the second support, the conductive layer having the pattern negative to the internal electrode pattern, thereby forming the internal electrode pattern having the predetermined shape on the first support.

2. A method for fabricating a multilayer ceramic component having a plurality of ceramic sheets and a plurality of internal electrode patterns alternately laminated to each other, the method comprising:

a step of forming each of the internal electrode patterns by a method comprising:

a first step of forming a conductive layer by applying a metal paste on a first support, the metal paste containing metal powder and a binder;

a second step of forming a resin layer on a second support, the resin layer having a pattern negative to the internal electrode pattern;

a third step of compression bonding the first support and the second support to each other in such a manner that the conductive layer and the resin layer are opposite to each other; and

a fourth step of removing the second support from the first support so as to transfer a conductive layer to the second support, the conductive layer having the pattern negative to the internal electrode pattern, thereby forming the internal electrode pattern on the first support;

a step of forming each of the ceramic sheets on a film, the ceramic sheets containing ceramic powder and a binder;

a step of forming a laminated body by alternately laminating a plurality of the first supports having the internal electrode patterns thereon and a plurality of the films having the ceramic sheets thereon; and

a step of sintering the laminated body.
