Method of manufacturing electronic component and member to be used in the same method

Abstract

A base layer, which is supposed to be burnt off by baking, is formed on an unbaked member such as ceramic green sheet or laminated ceramic green sheets. This base layer improves ink acceptability of the unbaked ceramic member particularly for low viscosity ink such as jet-ink, and prevents oozing, draining, uneven thickness. This structure thus allows the inkjet to form a precise pattern. The base layer is burnt off at the baking step in the manufacturing process of electronic components, thus it does not adversely affect the reliability of the electronic component.
