Method of manufacturing ceramic layered product

A method of manufacturing a ceramic lamina comprising the steps of:

• a) preparing a plurality of reels wound with a respective plurality of elongated mother ceramic sheets, each having a plurality of electrode patterns, and a plurality of registration marks, said registration marks having predetermined relative locations on said sheets with respect to said electrode patterns, distributed along its longitudinal direction;
• b) drawing out said mother ceramic sheets from respective ones of said plurality of reels onto corresponding sheet cutting stages;
• c) determining the location of a region including at least one of said electrode patterns within one of said mother ceramic sheets on a selected said sheet cutting stage, on the basis of said registration marks, and punching out a first ceramic sheet corresponding to said region from said mother ceramic sheet employing a cutting head whose periphery is enclosed with a cutting edge;
• and
• d) carrying said first ceramic sheet punched out of said mother ceramic sheet to a stacking jig employing said cutting head and stacking said first ceramic sheet on said stacking jig.
