1. A method of manufacturing a plurality of multilayer electronic components, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) Manufacturing a laminated sheet in which layers of ceramic tape are each provided on one side with a pattern of electrodes, are stacked so that the electrode patterns on consecutive layers are offset back and forth with respect to one another, and are pressed together;

    (b) Cutting the laminated sheet into segments in which consecutive electrodes are alternately exposed at a different segment edge;

    (c) Sintering the segments;

    (d) Providing electrical contacts which interconnect the electrodes exposed at given segment edges, characterised in that the cutting step (b) is performed by directing a focused laser beam onto the plane of the laminated sheet and by effecting relative motion of the beam with respect to the sheet so as to trace the beam along a selected cutting path, whereby the intercept of the beam and the sheet is cooled by a flow of non-flammable gas.
