Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a monolithic ceramic capacitor comprises forming a ceramic laminate body in which a plurality of inner electrodes are buried in layers and outer electrodes are formed on both end surfaces of the laminate body, and separated from said body by conductive ceramic films. In order to form the conductive ceramic films, a paste or a sheet of a conductive ceramic material is applied onto each end surface of the ceramic laminate body, and then fired.
