Procedure for the production of electronic elements from ceramic(s)

A highly reliable ceramic electronic device is manufactured by suppressing diffusion of silver, the ceramic device having a silver-based conductive pattern on a sintered glass ceramic compact primarily composed of BaO-TiO2-ReO3/2 dielectric ceramic powder. A method for manufacturing the ceramic electronic device involves the steps of blending BaO-TiO2-ReO3/2 dielectric ceramic powder and glass powder to form a powdered glass ceramic mixture, in which Re is a rare-earth element, molding the powdered glass ceramic mixture to form a glass ceramic compact having a predetermined shape, forming a silver-based conductive pattern on the glass ceramic compact, and heating the glass ceramic compact provided with the silver-based pattern at a heating rate of at least about 10° C./minute from a temperature of at least about 500° C., in which the total baking time at the temperature of at least about 500° C. is set to be about 20 to 90 minutes.
