Method of making a ceramic capacitor

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a ceramic capacitor which can remove such various disadvantages as described hereinabove and to provide a process of making such ceramic capacitor.
In brief, the present invention is a rolled type ceramic capacitor and a process of making it wherein the rolled type ceramic capacitor is formed by rolling a single ceramic green sheet in a multi-layered manner, spirally in section.
The ceramic green sheet is provided with first and second inner electrodes formed on one surface thereof with insulating gaps intervening between the inner electrodes.
When the ceramic green sheet is rolled from one end thereof so as to obtain a cylindrical body, at least respective portions of the first and second inner electrodes are opposed to each other with the ceramic green sheet intervening therebetween.
The first and second inner electrodes are led out to the different locations, respectively, on the surface of the cylindrical body.
First and second outer electrodes are formed on these locations, respectively.
According to the present invention, it is not at all required to consider that a plurality of sheets are superposed on each other exactly as desired in the prior art process, since only a single ceramic green sheet is used.
Accordingly, the present process can be carried out with high efficiency.
Further, according to the present ceramic capacitor, there is no room for occurence of the lowering of capacitance, the scattering of the capacitance, the short-circuit and so on because of the inadequacy of superposing a plurality of the sheets.
Besides, the characteristics which are considered the advantages of a rolled type ceramic capacitor to the effect that the size can be minimized and large capacitance can be obtained are not diminished.
Further, in the conventional capacitor shown in FIG.
3, the inductance of the inner electrodes 3, 4 is relatively great to degrade the high frequency characteristics, because the inner electrodes 3, 4 are in a coiled forms where the same are continuously wound in a number of turns, spirally in section
