Abstract
A method for manufacturing a sensor element that includes: a pair of electrodes; a ceramic layer having a hollow space that is to be an air introduction hole; and a first layer and a second layer stacked at both surfaces of the ceramic layer, One of the electrodes is in communication with the hollow space, The method includes: preparing an unsintered ceramic sheet, and a burn-out material sheet having a thickness different from that of the unsintered ceramic sheet, the burn-out material sheet having, in a plane orthogonal to the direction of an axial line O, a cross-sectional area substantially identical to a cross-sectional area of the pre-sintering hollow space; placing the burn-out material sheet in the pre-sintering hollow space; pressing the sheets so as to have an identical thickness; and burning out the burn-out material sheet.
