That is, in the laminate 11, a sheet having the electrode pattern shown in FIG. 3A is laminated on a plain protective sheet, and a plurality of sheets having the electrode pattern shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 3B, a sheet having the electrode pattern shown in FIG. 3B is further laminated, and a plain protective sheet is laminated, and cut by dicing along dashed lines X and Y. When cutting the laminate of sheets, the laminate may be sintered, but may be unsintered.

Next, the external electrode 1 is
The step of applying the insulating film 7 and the insulating film 18 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the holding body 21 holds the second end surface 12b side of the laminated body 11 (see FIG. 4A), is conveyed onto the insulating paste 18 ′, and is immersed about half in the insulating paste 18 ′ (FIG. 4). (See FIG. 4B) and pull up (see FIG. 4C). At this time, the insulating paste 18 'adheres to the lower half including the first end face 12a of the multilayer body 11. As the insulating paste 18 ′, for example, a paste formed by using the same ceramic material, glass-based ceramic material, resin material, or glass alone as the laminate 11 as a main component and mixing a resin component to form a paste is used.

Next, the first end face 12a of the laminate 11
Is pressed against a base plate 22 such as a filter paper to be pulled upward and dried (see FIGS. 4D and 4E). As a result, the insulating paste 18 'is transferred or sucked from the first end face 12a. The material of the base 22 may be any material, and the insulating paste 18 'is not limited to the above-described transfer and blotting, but may be any material that can be removed. Next, the first end face 12a is
7 '(see FIG. 4 (F)). Electrode paste 1
The squeegee 7 'is squeezed to a predetermined thickness, and the electrode paste 17' adheres to the first end face 12a and the periphery thereof by pulling up the laminate 11 (see FIG. 4G).

Next, the electrode paste 17 'is dried, the laminate 11 is turned upside down, and the steps (A) to (G) are repeated again. The electrode paste 17 'becomes the external electrode 17 electrically connected to the lead portions 15a and 15b of the internal electrode, and the insulating paste 18' becomes the side exposed portion 15c of the internal electrode.
Becomes an insulating film 18 covering the metal.

According to the above manufacturing method, an insulating film can be easily formed on the laminate 11 without increasing the number of dicing steps. In addition, since no etchant is used, the laminated body and the internal electrodes do not deteriorate.
