CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A ceramic electronic component which is easily downsized, has reduced difficulty in handling, and is hardly chipped in a chip; and a method for producing the ceramic electronic component. The method includes the steps of: forming an uncured ceramic pattern which forms a ceramic layer after firing and has a circular plane shape by applying a ceramic slurry, which contains a ceramic material, to a predetermined location one time or a plurality of times repeatedly using a non-contact-type printing device such as an ink-jet printer; and forming uncured internal electrode patterns which form internal electrodes after firing and each have a circular plane shape by applying an electrode paste, which contains an internal electrode material, to a predetermined location one time or a plurality of times repeatedly using an ink-jet printer.

1. A method for producing a ceramic electronic component which has a structure in which a first internal electrode and a second internal electrode are arranged so as to face each other with a ceramic layer interposed therebetween; and
the first internal electrode has a predetermined peripheral edge portion extending to a first region which is a predetermined region of a peripheral edge portion of the ceramic layer, the second internal electrode has a predetermined peripheral edge portion extending to a second region which is a predetermined region of a peripheral edge portion of the ceramic layer and which is different from the first region, the ceramic electronic component includes a first external electrode which is in conduction with the first internal electrode at the portion of the first internal electrode which extends to the first region, and the ceramic electronic component includes a second external electrode which is in conduction with the second internal electrode at the portion of the second internal electrode which extends to the second region, the method comprising the steps of: forming an unfired ceramic pattern which forms the ceramic layer after firing by applying a ceramic slurry, which contains a ceramic material, to a predetermined location one time or a plurality of times repeatedly using a printing device which ensures that a discharge portion for discharging the ceramic slurry does not come into contact with an object to be printed; and forming an unfired internal electrode pattern which forms the internal electrode after firing by applying an electrode paste, which contains an internal electrode material, to a predetermined location one time or a plurality of times repeatedly using a printing device which ensures that a discharge portion for discharging the electrode paste does not come into contact with an object to be printed.
