1. A method for manufacturing a product comprising one or more passive electronic components, wherein the method comprises:
- providing ceramic nanopowders;
suspending the nanopowders in a solvent thereby preparing a nanopowder dispersion or paste;
forming a layer from the nanopowder dispersion or paste such that the average grain size of the nanopowder in the layer is equal to or less than 100 nanometers; and
wherein the layer provides at least one passive electronic device function selected from the group consisting of capacitor, resistor, varistor and inductor; and
processing the layer into one or more passive electronic components.
