Patent attributes
A thick-film sheet member producing method including: (a) a support-body preparing step of preparing a support body having a film formation surface provided by a particle layer constituted by high-melting-point particles which are held together with a resin and which have a melting point higher than a predetermined temperature; (b) a paste-film forming step of forming a paste film on the film formation surface, by applying a paste onto the film formation surface; and (c) a firing step of subjecting the support body on which the paste film has been formed, to a heat treatment effected at the predetermined temperature, so as to burn the resin included in the particle layer, whereby the high-melting-point particles become unbound from each other in absence of the resin that has been burned. The paste film is sintered in the firing step, whereby a thick film is formed of the sintered paste film.
