Abstract
Abstract A sintered ceramic article which comprises internal electrodes and/or conductors is formed by producing a sintered ceramic body that has areas of ceramic with interconnected pores extending to an outer face thereof and providing a conductor in said porous areas. The ceramic body may be formed by depositing, as by screen printing, on sheets of a powdered dielectric or insulating ceramic material bonded with a temporary bond, an area of a temporarily bonded powdered ceramic material which on firing becomes porous, consolidating a plurality of such sheets, and sintering them. Subsequently a conductive material may be provided in the porous areas by impregnating said areas with a conductive material or with a material which is reacted or decomposed to form a conductive material in said areas.
