After synthesizing particles by liquid phase synthesis, the solution is
substituted without drying these particles, and here, a solution
comprising a grain boundary phase composition consisting of at least one
or more types selected from a group consisting of Al.sub.2O.sub.3,
yttrium oxide, silicon oxide, yttrium-silicon complex oxide,
aluminum-silicon complex oxide, and a compound having a garnet structure
with a lower melting point than the aforementioned particles, or a
solution comprising a precipitate is introduced. Microparticles are
adjusted by allowing adhesion and growth of the solution comprising a
composition of grain boundary phase or the solution comprising a
precipitate on the surface of the particles; these microparticles are
allowed to align in 3-dimensions in solution and are formed into a molded
body, and this molded body is sintered.
