Description

Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method for manufacturing same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a multilayer ceramic capacitor and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a multilayer ceramic capacitor in which an internal electrode and first external electrodes at both sides thereof contain nickel powder and barium titanate powder having an average particle diameter of 0.2 to 0.4 μm, so as to improve electrical contact between the internal electrode and the first external electrodes, improve mutual bonding strength, and reduce peeling.
Background
In terms of function, the Capacitor stores charges in an electrostatic mode, and can release electric energy within a predetermined time, even serving as filtering or bypass for coordinated use; the resistor is used for adjusting the voltage and the current in the circuit; the inductor mainly functions to filter the noise in the current and prevent the electromagnetic interference.
At present, all kinds of information, communication, consumer electronics or other sophisticated electronic products are mutually matched and applied to achieve the purpose of electronic loop control, and because the kind of electronic products has no far-reaching limit, the requirements of the passive components on the capacitor are raised, for example: the capacitor has a smaller size or a higher requirement for dielectric stability, however, the capacitor can be classified into an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, a ceramic capacitor, a plastic film capacitor, a tantalum capacitor, a mica capacitor, etc. according to the material, the ceramic capacitor has the characteristics of high dielectric constant, good insulation, good heat resistance, small volume, suitability for mass production, good stability and reliability, etc., and the ceramic capacitor has the advantages of high voltage and heat resistance and wide operating temperature range, and the ceramic capacitor can be directly welded by a Surface Mount Technology (SMT), so that the production speed and the number of the ceramic capacitor are much better than those of other capacitors such as an electrolytic capacitor, a tantalum capacitor, etc.
Further, ceramic capacitors are widely used, for example: disc-shaped Ceramic capacitors, ingot-shaped Ceramic capacitors, multilayer Ceramic capacitors (MLCC) and the like are typical Ceramic capacitors commonly found in the market, wherein the multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is mainly composed of barium titanate with high dielectric property, the capacitance content of the multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is generally proportional to the surface area of a product and the number of stacked layers of Ceramic films, and the multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is internally formed by alternately stacking an inner electrode Layer, a Ceramic dielectric Layer and an inner electrode Layer in parallel, that is, each Ceramic dielectric Layer is clamped by an upper inner electrode Layer and a lower inner electrode Layer in parallel to form a plate Capacitor, and then is electrically connected with an outer electrode Layer, so that the multilayer Ceramic Capacitor can be used as a container for storing electric quantity.
Furthermore, because of the large number of stacked ceramic dielectric layers and internal electrode layers with staggered intervals, the multilayer ceramic capacitor is the most popular and widely used ceramic capacitor in electronic products, especially in portable high-level electronic and communication products, such as: PC, mobile phone, or automotive electronic component.
In the prior art, as disclosed in japanese patent application laid-open No. 5-3131, a multilayer ceramic capacitor is disclosed, which comprises a multilayer body in which inner electrodes and a ceramic dielectric body are alternately laminated, and outer electrode layers, wherein the inner electrodes of the multilayer ceramic capacitor are made of nickel, and the outer electrode layers at both sides of the ceramic dielectric body include first outer electrodes, second outer electrodes formed by bonding silver (or silver alloy) to the two first outer electrodes through glass, and third outer electrodes formed by plating a metal film on the two second outer electrodes.
The ceramic dielectric body and the first external electrode made of nickel material are arranged around the adjacent combination position, and a diffusion layer of nickel oxide is easily formed due to high sintering temperature, so that the combination strength is improved.
In addition, the second external electrode includes glass powder and silver (or silver alloy) material, so the glass powder is easy to be unevenly distributed, when the glass powder is accumulated around or is densely distributed in a large amount, when the third external electrode is electroplated outside the second external electrode, the electroplating solution (such as nickel electroplating solution) is easy to intrude into the ceramic dielectric body through the diffusion path of the second and first external electrodes, so the compactness of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is seriously poor, the quality is poor, the texture is fragile and easy to crack, and if the multilayer ceramic capacitor is applied to electronic products, the expected normal function of the multilayer ceramic capacitor cannot be exerted, so many defects are needed to be improved.
In addition, the conventional multilayer ceramic capacitor generally uses multiple heating or sintering processes to manufacture the layered structure of the external electrode, but the capacitor is damaged by frequent sintering or excessive heating, especially the internal electrode and the first external electrode, in order to produce the multilayer ceramic capacitor with high capacitance and increase the stacking number of the internal electrodes, many internal electrodes gradually tend to be thinned, so that the contact area between each layer of internal electrode and the first external electrode is reduced, at this time, if the formed first external electrode is affected by the temperature of the subsequent process and the thermal expansion phenomenon occurs, the original contact position between the first external electrode and the internal electrode will be peeled off, even damaged or broken, and the electrical characteristics of the capacitor will be affected.
In addition, the external electrode or the first external electrode of the multilayer ceramic capacitor in the prior art may be made of copper-containing metal or copper metal, but the external electrode and the internal electrode have different thermal expansion coefficients due to different material types, and once the volume of the external electrode and the internal electrode changes due to heating, the original contact position of the first external electrode and the internal electrode is easily damaged.
As described above, the conventional multilayer ceramic capacitor has the above problems, and particularly, the non-uniform presence of glass can cause the plating solution of the external electrode to intrude into the ceramic dielectric during the forming process and cause the reliability cracking, so how to solve the problem of the multilayer ceramic capacitor that the glass powder material or other impurity elements are diffused and intruded is a direction that is urgently desired to be improved by the related manufacturers in the field.

Step (a01) may be performed before step (a):
(A01) a ceramic slurry is prepared by taking a predetermined weight of main component (mainly barium titanate), adding other components (such as manganese oxide powder, yttrium oxide powder or silicon oxide powder) and solvent (composed of ethanol and toluene) and plasticizer, and processing and mixing by a ball mill.
The ceramic slurry in the step (A) is prepared by forming a ceramic thin strip with a width of about 150mm and a thickness of about 10 μm on a plastic film (such as a PET film) by a doctor blade of a thin strip forming machine, preferably a ceramic thin strip with a width of about 150mm and a thickness of about 6 μm, and then using the ceramic thin strip to prepare a 10 μ F capacitor with a size of 3225.

The ceramic thin strip in the step (C) may be cut into a size of about 150mm by 150 mm.
However, before the step (D) is performed, the step (D01) may be further performed:
(D01) the green body and the food powder are filled in a container, and the container is rotated to grind each corner portion of the green body.
The second nickel electrode paste in the step (D) comprises nickel powder, barium titanate powder, a binder, a solvent and other components, the average particle size of the barium titanate powder is 0.05-0.1 μm, the volume percentage of the nickel powder to the barium titanate powder is 15-50 vol%, and the volume percentage of the nickel powder to the barium titanate powder in the second nickel electrode paste is preferably the same as the volume percentage of the nickel powder to the barium titanate powder in the first nickel electrode paste, so that when the multilayer ceramic capacitor is heated and expanded, the volume change tends to be the same or similar, further the damage caused by thermal expansion is avoided, and the first nickel electrode paste can be used as the second nickel electrode paste, thus reducing the material manufacturing time, waste and inventory.
In addition, the thickness of the second nickel electrode paste in the step (D) is 5 μm to 50 μm to maintain the relatively stable electrical characteristics of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and when the thickness of the second nickel electrode paste exceeds 50 μm, the first external electrodes 21 may be peeled off after the sintering of the two first external electrodes 21 of the external electrode layers 2, and when the thickness of the second nickel electrode paste is less than 5 μm, the electrical connection between the two first external electrodes 21 and the inner electrode ends 121 of the plurality of inner electrodes 12 may be insufficient, and the sintered product may not have the stable electrical characteristics.
After the second nickel electrode pastes are respectively formed on the two opposite side edges of the green body in the step (E), the green body and the second nickel electrode pastes on the two end surfaces can be placed in a nitrogen environment, degreasing treatment is carried out at the temperature of about 400 ℃, and the content of hydrogen/water vapor is controlled, so that the green body and the second nickel electrode pastes are subjected to common sintering operation at the temperature of about 1300 ℃ under the sintering condition of a low-reducing atmosphere which is more than one digit lower than the equilibrium oxygen partial pressure of nickel; however, when the first external electrodes 21 of the external electrode layer 2 are formed by sintering at about 1300 ℃ on both sides of the base 1, the first external electrodes 21 are not brittle or cracked, and the density of the sintered first external electrodes 21 is excellent, so that the two first external electrodes 21 can be electrically conducted with the inner electrode ends 121 of the plurality of internal electrodes 12 sufficiently, thereby improving the stability of electrical conduction, and the structural damage caused by the subsequent heating times or temperature to the capacitor itself or the inner electrode ends 121 of the plurality of internal electrodes 12 can be effectively reduced by using the common sintering method; in addition, the degreasing condition may be determined by using a proper condition for the kind of the binder and the plasticizer, and the maximum sintering temperature may be determined by the kind of the ceramic material to obtain a sufficient density, however, in the case of the atmosphere, if the sintering operation is performed in the atmosphere in which nickel is oxidized, the second external electrodes 21 of the external electrode layers 2 are acidified, and thus, sufficient conduction cannot be obtained, which is a necessity to be noted.
The metal electrode paste in the step (F) may be directly applied to the opposite sides of the two first external electrodes 21, or the two first external electrodes 21 are immersed in the metal electrode paste, so that the metal electrode paste is formed at the opposite outer sides of the two first external electrodes 21, and the two side metal electrode pastes may be heated or placed in an environment at a temperature of about 250 ℃ to be cured and formed into the second external electrodes 22.
The metal electrode paste in the step (F) includes metal powder, resin and other components, and can be dried at a temperature of about 100-150 ℃/30 minutes in the atmospheric environment, and then the metal electrode paste is cured and formed at a temperature of 220-270 ℃ in the atmospheric environment, so that the second external electrode 22 is formed by curing, and the temperature for curing and forming the metal electrode paste is preferably 240-270 ℃, so that the base 1 and the two first external electrodes 21 of the external electrode layer 2 can be sufficiently fixed, have adhesive strength and have a good electrical conduction state; the metal powder in the metal electrode paste may be silver powder, silver/nickel mixed powder, copper powder with silver coated on the surface, or other conductive powder, and the resin includes epoxy resin and thermosetting resin (such as urea formaldehyde or phenol formaldehyde resin), and the second external electrode 22 is cured and molded at about 250 ℃, so that the metal powder is prevented from diffusing or invading the positions of the two first external electrodes 21, the ceramic dielectric body 11 or the internal electrode 12, and the performance of the first external electrode 21, the ceramic dielectric body 11 or the internal electrode 12, such as structural strength or electrical conductivity, is not affected.
The second external electrode 22 in the step (G) is formed by electroplating with a third external electrode 23 through nickel and tin, so that the first external electrode 21, the second external electrode 22 and the third external electrode 23 of the external electrode layer 2 are respectively formed on two sides of the base 1, thereby manufacturing the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and improving the structural strength and reliability of the multilayer ceramic capacitor; in addition, since the resin material in the second external electrode 22 has a special property of blocking diffusion of the metal element, when the third external electrode 23 is formed by electroplating outside the second external electrode 22 on both sides of the base 1, the plating solution of the third external electrode 23 does not intrude into the positions of the second external electrode 22, the first external electrode 21, the ceramic dielectric 11, the internal electrode 12, and the like, so that the existing structural strength of the multilayer ceramic capacitor can be maintained, and the multilayer ceramic capacitor has a good capacitor performance.
In order to verify the capacitance strength and reliability of the multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured according to the present invention, the nickel powder and the barium titanate powder in the internal electrode 12 of the base 1 and the first external electrode 21 of the external electrode layer 2 according to the present invention were selected to be matched in three different particle sizes, and the nickel powder and the barium titanate powder in the first external electrode 21 were respectively tested according to different volume percentage ratios, and the results of the electrostatic capacitance and the insulation resistance cracking rate of different first external electrode thicknesses after firing were compared, and all the test results are shown in the third and fourth graphs.
