Process of making an acceleration detecting element

摘要

A method of making an acceleration detecting element includes preparing two green sheets having a rectangular plate shape and being made of piezoelectric ceramic; applying a conductive paste on a center location and locations along the longitudinal direction of the first face of the first one of the green sheets thereby forming respective inner electrode patterns; laminating the first face of the second of the green sheets on the first face of the first one of the green sheets on which the inner electrode patterns have been formed; baking to simultaneously form inner electrodes and piezoelectric ceramic bodies; forming signal output electrodes by a baking treatment after applying the conductive paste on the main second surfaces of the piezoelectric ceramic bodies; and polarizing center portions and end portions of the piezoelectric ceramic bodies by using the respective signal output electrodes and the respective inner electrodes.
