Manufacturing method of monolithic electronic components

A method for manufacturing monolithic ceramic electronic components, the method comprising the acts of:

• (A) cutting a ceramic green sheet having a predetermined size from a mother ceramic green sheet backed with carrier film using a cutting blade;
• (B) removing the ceramic green sheet from the carrier film using a chuck having a plurality of vacuum ports distributed on a holding surface of the chuck, the vacuum ports having a negative pressure applied thereto;
• (C) depositing the ceramic green sheet on a depositing table using the chuck;
• and
• (D) repeating acts (A) through (C) to deposit successive ceramic green sheets onto the depositing table one on top of the other, the relative positions of the chuck and the depositing table when the chuck deposits first and second successive ceramic green sheets onto the depositing table being shifted with respect to one another so that the vacuum ports of the chuck are not located in the same position relative to the depositing table when the first and second successive ceramic green sheets are laid one on top of the other, whereby the vacuum port depositing position of the first and second successive ceramic green sheets in the formation resulting from the repeating are offset from one another.
