A method of production of a reduction resistant dielectric ceramic
composition having a superior low frequency dielectric characteristic and
further improved in accelerated lifetime of insulation resistance,
specifically a method of production of a dielectric ceramic composition
containing a main component including a dielectric oxide of a specific
composition, a first subcomponent including a V oxide, a second
subcomponent containing an Al oxide, a third subcomponent containing an
Mn oxide, and a fourth subcomponent containing a specific sintering aid
in a specific ratio, including a step of mixing at least part of the
materials of the subcomponents excluding one or both of at least the
material of the third subcomponent and material of the fourth
subcomponent with the starting materials prepared for obtaining the
material of the main component to prepare the pre-reaction material, a
step of causing the prepared pre-reaction material to react to obtain a
reacted material, and a step of mixing the materials of the subcomponents
excluded when preparing the pre-reaction material with the obtained
reacted material to obtain a dielectric ceramic composition.
