Abstract
A method is provided for efficiently and securely smoothing a surface of an electrode disposed on a base, such as a ceramic substrate, without damaging the electrode or the base. The electrode is fired by a non-shrinkage process using a constraining layer and is separated from the constraining layer. The base including the electrode disposed thereon is prepared and a surface of the electrode is smoothed by vibrating media such that the media are arranged to be in contact with the electrode.
