A ceramic compact (10B) having a patterned conductor (12) is obtained by coating the patterned conductor (12) with a slurry (18) and then by hardening the slurry (18). The slurry (18) is prepared by mixing a thermosetting resin precursor, a ceramic powder, and a medium. In the ceramic compact (10B), an isocyanate- or isothiocyanate-containing gelling agent and a hydroxyl-containing polymer are reacted and hardened to produce a thermosetting resin. The hydroxyl-containing polymer is preferably a butyral resin, an ethylcellulose-based resin, a polyethyleneglycol-based resin, or a polyether-based resin. |
