Ceramic electronic component and method for making the same

摘要

A ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic sintered compact containing about 35 to 80 volume percent pores and an electrode provided inside the ceramic sintered compact. The pores are filled with resin or glass. This ceramic electronic component is formed by forming a green compact which includes an electrode therein with a ceramic compound having a ceramic raw material, a binder and a spherical or granular combustible material having adhesiveness to the binder. The green compact is fired to form the ceramic sintered compact including the electrode and containing about 35 to 80 volume percent pores. The pores of the ceramic sintered compact are filled with resin or glass.
