Release layer paste and method of production of a multilayer type electronic device

A release layer paste used for producing a multilayer type electronic device, wherein:

• said release layer paste is used in combination with an electrode layer paste, the electrode layer paste including terpineol, dehydroterpineol, terpineol acetate, or dehydroterpineol acetate;
• said release layer paste includes a ceramic powder, organic vehicle, plasticizer, and dispersion agent;
• said organic vehicle contains a binder having polyvinyl acetal as its main ingredient;
• a ratio (P/B) of said ceramic powder and, said binder and plasticizer is controlled to 1.33 to less than 5.56;
• said binder is contained in an amount of more than 12 to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of said ceramic powder;
• said polyvinyl acetal has a polymerization degree of 2000 to 3600 and an acetalization degree of 66 to 74 mol %,
• said plasticizer is at least one plasticizer selected from the group of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dioctyl phthalate (DOP), and butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP) and is contained in an amount of more than 0 to less than 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of said ceramic powder;
• said ceramic powder has an average particle size of 0.2 μm or less;
• said dispersion agent is a polyethylene glycol-based dispersion agent and is contained in an amount of 1 to 3 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of said ceramic powder;
• and
• said organic vehicle contains a solvent comprised of at least one of ethyl alcohol, methylethylketone, methylisobutylketone, propanol, xylene, and toluene and contained so as to give a concentration of nonvolatile ingredients of 5 to 20 wt %.
