Method of manufacturing electronic components.

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method of efficiently forming external electrodes on chip electronic components such as multilayer ceramic capacitors in desired thicknesses. Cutting grooves (5) are formed in a block (1) along surfaces (3, 4) to be provided with external electrodes for dividing the block (1) into individual chips (6) while metal paste (7) for forming external electrodes is cast into the cutting grooves (5) and dried, so that the metal paste (7) filling up each of the cutting grooves (5) is cut with a blade (8) to be divided in two. Parts of the metal paste (7) thus being divided with the blade (8) define external electrodes.
