A method of manufacturing a ceramic electronic component including a main body including a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite to each other, and a first external electrode and a second external electrode provided on a portion of a surface of the main body, includes providing a plurality of recesses in a first principal surface of a laminated block including a ceramic material and an organic substance by relatively moving the laminated block and a protrusion surface including a protrusion, in a direction along the first principal surface of the laminated block with the protrusion surface being in contact with a first principal surface of the laminated block, obtaining a chip by cutting the laminated block including the recesses, and obtaining the main body by firing the chip.

Method of manufacturing ceramic electronic component, and ceramic electronic component

A method for manufacturing a capacitor element includes singulating a mother block into a plurality of laminate blocks having a shape of an elongated, substantially rectangular parallelepiped, by dividing the mother block in rows; rolling each of the plurality of laminate blocks; and singulating each of the plurality of laminate blocks into a plurality of laminate chips having a shape of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, by dividing the plurality of laminate blocks after rolling in columns. The step of rolling each of the plurality of laminate blocks includes the step of moving the plurality of laminate blocks placed on a stage, along a direction in which the plurality of laminate blocks are arranged side by side, thereby sequentially pushing each of the plurality of laminate blocks to an end portion of the stage and causing each of the plurality of laminate blocks to rotationally fall from the end portion.

Method and device for manufacturing capacitor element

A rectangular or substantially rectangular parallelepiped chip including first and second end surfaces and first and second side surfaces is produced by cutting a mother block along a first direction in a portion where, of conductive layers that are adjacent to each other in a stacking direction, a first one is present and a second one is not present and cutting of the mother block along a second direction in a portion where, of the conductive layers that are adjacent to each other in the stacking direction, the second one is present and the first one is not present. A first internal electrode formed from the first conductive layer is exposed at the first end and side surfaces and not exposed at either of the second end and side surfaces. A second internal electrode formed from the second conductive layer is exposed at the second end and side surfaces and not exposed at either of the first end and side surfaces.

Method of manufacturing multilayer ceramic capacitor and multilayer ceramic capacitor

A ceramic green sheet laminate is produced by stacking ceramic green sheets, each including conductive films for forming first or second internal electrodes on a surface thereof. A first cutting step is performed in which the ceramic green sheet laminate is cut to form first and second end surfaces at which the first or second internal electrodes are exposed. A second cutting step is performed in which the ceramic green sheet laminate is cut to form first and second side surfaces at which the first and second internal electrodes are exposed. In the second cutting step, the ceramic green sheet laminate is pressed and cut by moving a cutting blade in a length direction or a width direction.
