A method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic device includes forming first and second glass-ceramic green sheets from a ceramic material containing glass by laminating the material to form a green sheet laminate having a cavity with an open surface at one surface thereof. Then, shrinkage-suppressing layers which are formed with shrinkage-suppressing inorganic material having a higher sintering temperature than the ceramic material are applied over the surfaces of the green sheet laminate. Thus, a composite laminate is obtained. Then, the composite laminate is pressed in the laminating direction such that the bottom portion of the cavity receives the same amount of pressure as the surrounding region of the cavity via an opening. Then, the composite laminate is fired, and the shrinkage-suppressing layers are removed.
