Method of fabricating multilayer capacitor

A method of fabricating a multilayer capacitor, comprising the steps of:

• forming a ceramic green sheet which is so thin that it cannot be handled accurately without additional support, and supporting said ceramic green sheet on a supporting film;
• applying an electrode paste for forming an inner electrode on said ceramic green sheet;
• cutting said ceramic green sheet supported on said supporting film to a predetermined size by employing a cutting head having drawing means, and drawing and holding the ceramic green sheet into the cutting head, to strip the same from said supporting film;
• transferring the ceramic green sheet transversely away from said supporting film, while held in said cutting head, to a metallic mold;
• and
• laminating a plurality of ceramic green sheets in said metallic mold to obtain a laminated body by repeating said step of stripping the ceramic green sheet of predetermined size from said supporting film and said step of transferring the ceramic green sheet to said metallic mold;
• wherein said cutting head comprises a main body containing an air cylinder and a cylinder head fixed to a cylinder rod portion of said air cylinder, and so constructed that said cylinder head can be moved by the air cylinder between a position close to the main body and a position separated from the main body;
• wherein a plurality of section holes connected to the drawing means is formed in said cylinder head;
• and
• wherein said cylinder head is driven in a direction that is away from the main body subsequent to the step of transferring the ceramic green sheet held in said cutting head to the metallic mold, thereby causing the ceramic green sheet to enter the metallic mold.
