Description

Multilayer ceramic capacitor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

Background
At present, the end electrode of a multilayer ceramic capacitor of a base metal electrode is generally in a copper-nickel-tin three-layer structure, a copper layer is formed on a capacitor ceramic body by adopting a sintering and infiltrating process, and then a nickel layer and a tin layer are sequentially formed on the copper layer by adopting an electroplating method. The copper layer is generally formed by sintering a copper paste in a neutral atmosphere, and organic components in the copper paste are difficult to be removed in an atmosphere of low oxygen partial pressure, resulting in poor copper layer compactness, and then a plating solution penetrates through a very thin copper layer (for example, 5 μm to 60 μm) during electroplating, and further penetrates into the ceramic body from a gap between the internal electrode and the ceramic body, resulting in a decrease in insulation resistance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and in the severe case, a short circuit may occur. In order to prevent the plating solution from permeating into the copper layer, a method of covering an insulating layer on the copper layer to block the plating solution is adopted in the industry, but because the insulating layer is not conductive, automatic electric performance sorting cannot be carried out on the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and thus large-scale production is difficult to realize.
In addition, barium titanate-based ceramics are widely used as dielectric materials for high-capacitance multilayer ceramic capacitors, but since barium titanate-based ceramics have inverse piezoelectric effects, there is a problem that when an alternating voltage is applied to the multilayer ceramic capacitor, the multilayer ceramic capacitor generates stretching vibration and the vibration is transmitted to the wiring board through solder joints, causing the wiring board to vibrate to generate a buzzer sound.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "top", "bottom", and the like, indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, are only for convenience in describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, a multilayer ceramic capacitor according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a ceramic body 1 and two terminal electrodes 2 respectively disposed on two end surfaces of the ceramic body 1, wherein the terminal electrodes 2 extend to the outer peripheral side surface of the ceramic body 1, the ends of the two terminal electrodes 2 are disposed opposite to each other with a distance therebetween, the terminal electrodes 2 are covered with an insulating layer 3, the insulating layer 3 is covered with a conductive layer 4, the conductive layer 4 covers the insulating layer 3 and extends to the terminal electrodes 2, and the end portions of the terminal electrodes 2 are exposed out of the conductive layer 4. Preferably, the ceramic body 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the terminal electrodes 2 extend to four sides of the ceramic body 1.
Illustratively, the terminal electrode 2 includes a connection electrode 21 and a welding electrode 22, the connection electrode 21 is disposed on the end surface 13 of the ceramic body 1 in a covering manner and extends to the outer peripheral side surface of the ceramic body 1, the welding electrode 22 is disposed on the outer peripheral side surface in a surrounding manner and is connected to the terminal end surface of the connection electrode 21, the connection electrode 21 is a single-layer electrode, and the welding electrode 22 is a composite-layer electrode; the insulating layer 3 covers the connecting electrode 21, and the conductive layer 4 completely covers the insulating layer 3 and extends to the welding electrode 22; the conductive layer 4 completely covers the insulating layer 3 and forms a conductive path with the welding electrode 22, the connection electrode 21 and the inner electrode 12 of the ceramic body 1, so that the electrical parameters of the multilayer ceramic capacitor can be measured only by contacting the conductive layer 4 on the multilayer ceramic capacitor with a test probe, thereby realizing automatic electrical performance sorting. Specifically, the connection electrode 21 is a copper electrode; the welding electrode 22 comprises a bottom electrode, a middle electrode and a top electrode which are arranged from inside to outside in sequence, the bottom electrode is a copper electrode layer, the middle electrode is a nickel electrode layer, and the thickness of the nickel electrode layer is preferably 2-5 micrometers; the top electrode is a tin electrode layer, and the thickness of the tin electrode layer is preferably 5-10 μm; the nickel electrode layer can protect the copper electrode layer and prevent the leaching phenomenon during welding; the tin electrode layer on the top layer can play a role in soldering. Since the connection electrode 21 in the terminal electrode 2 is completely covered with the insulating layer 3, the plating solution cannot directly penetrate into the connection electrode 21, but the plating solution may penetrate into the welding electrode 22 and may further indirectly penetrate into the connection electrode 21 adjacent to the welding electrode 22, but unlike the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the related art, when the plating solution penetrates, the penetration direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the related art is substantially perpendicular to the copper layer surface, the penetration surface is large, and the penetration path is short, so that the plating solution easily penetrates into the ceramic body 1 to cause a decrease in insulation resistance, whereas the connection electrode 21 of the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the present embodiment extends a distance on four sides of the ceramic body 1, the penetration direction of the plating solution is along the copper layer surface, the penetration surface is narrow, and the penetration source is located at the end surface of the connection electrode 21, the penetration path is long, so that the plating solution cannot reach the internal electrodes 12 exposed on both end surfaces of the ceramic body 1, so that the decrease in insulation resistance is not caused. Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive layer 4 may partially cover the insulating layer 3, and the conductive layer 4 extends onto the welding electrode 22, so as to ensure that the conductive layer 4 realizes a conductive path through the terminal electrode 2 and the inner electrode 12, thereby enabling automatic electric performance sorting of the multilayer ceramic capacitor.
Illustratively, the material of the conductive layer 4 is any one of copper, nickel, copper-nickel alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, nickel-vanadium alloy, titanium-tungsten alloy and indium-gallium alloy, and tin is easily added by avoiding tin, gold, silver and the like. The thickness of the conductive layer 4 is preferably 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm, and if the thickness of the conductive layer 4 is too small, the conductivity may be deteriorated, and if the thickness of the conductive layer 4 is too large, the tin-coating of the welding electrode 22 may be hindered. The outermost layer of the welding electrode 22 is a tin layer which functions as a soldering aid and facilitates tin application during welding, and the material of the conductive layer 4 is a metal or alloy having relatively low solderability and the conductive layer 4 is not tin-applied during welding, so that the connection area between the multilayer ceramic capacitor and the wiring board 7 is significantly reduced by tin application only to the welding electrode 22 as compared with the conventional technique, and the transmission of piezoelectric vibration of the multilayer ceramic capacitor to the wiring board 7 and the squeaking of the wiring board 7 can be suppressed. If the extending distance of the terminal electrode 2 and the insulating layer 3 on the four sides of the ceramic body 1 is increased, the two welding electrodes 22 can be made to approach each other, and the distance between the two welding points is reduced, so that the vibration of the circuit board 7 can be further reduced, and the squealing noise can be reduced.
And figure 1 is the sketch map of welding present multilayer ceramic capacitor to circuit board 7 ', four sides of present multilayer ceramic capacitor all can regard as the welding face, because whole terminal electrode 2' is the tin layer outward, thereby the solder can climb on multilayer ceramic capacitor's both ends terminal surface during soldering tin and make multilayer ceramic capacitor and circuit board 7's area of connection increase, and the distance between the solder joint at both ends is great, the piezoelectricity vibration that multilayer ceramic capacitor produced like this can transmit circuit board 7 'in a large number, make the vibration and the noise aggravation of circuit board 7'.
Illustratively, the distance between the end face of the tip of the welding electrode 22 and the end face 13 of the ceramic body 1 adjacent thereto is denoted as d1; let d2 be the distance between the end face of the end of the connection electrode 21 and the end face 13 of the ceramic body 1 adjacent thereto, and the distance between the end face of the end of the connection electrode 21 and the end face 13 of the ceramic body 1 adjacent thereto is equal to the distance between the end face of the end of the insulating layer 3 and the end face 13 of the ceramic body 1 adjacent thereto; the distance between the end face of the conductive layer 4 and the end face 13 of the ceramic body 1 adjacent thereto is denoted as d3; d1 is greater than d3, and d3 is greater than d2. Specifically, d1 is 12% to 35% of the length of the ceramic body 1, when d1 is too small, it is inconvenient to weld a multilayer ceramic capacitor on the circuit board 7, and when d1 is too large, the two terminal electrodes 2 are easily short-circuited; d2 is 2-22% of the length of the ceramic body 1, when d2 is too small, the effect of preventing the plating solution from permeating is insufficient, and when d2 is too large, the multilayer ceramic capacitor is not convenient to weld on the circuit board 7; the d3 is 5 to 25% of the length of the ceramic body 1, and when d3 is too small, it is inconvenient to form a reliable electrical connection between the conductive layer 4 and the welding electrode 22, and when d3 is too large, the conductive layer 4 covers the welding electrode 22 too much, thereby making it inconvenient to weld the multilayer ceramic capacitor on the wiring board 7.
Illustratively, the thickness of the connecting electrode 21 and the bottom electrode is preferably 5 μm to 60 μm, when the thickness of the connecting electrode 21 and the bottom electrode is too small, the continuity of the copper layer is not good for conducting electricity, and when the thickness of the connecting electrode 21 and the bottom electrode is too large, the volume of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is not good for reducing; the thickness of the insulating layer 3 is 5-20 μm, when the thickness of the insulating layer 3 is too small, the effect of preventing the plating solution from permeating is insufficient, and when the thickness of the insulating layer 3 is too large, the reduction of the volume of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is not facilitated; the insulating layer 3 is preferably a ceramic insulating layer 3 or a resin insulating layer 3.
Specifically, the ceramic body 1 includes dielectric layers 11 stacked and inner electrodes 12 disposed between two adjacent dielectric layers 11, where the inner electrodes 12 include first inner electrodes 12 and second inner electrodes 12, one end of each first inner electrode 12 is connected to one of the terminal electrodes 2, a distance is provided between a terminal of each first inner electrode 12 and the other terminal electrode 2, one end of each second inner electrode 12 is connected to the other terminal electrode 2, a distance is provided between a terminal of each second inner electrode 12 and the terminal electrode 2 connected to the first inner electrode 12, and the first inner electrodes 12 and the second inner electrodes 12 are alternately disposed.

As shown in fig. 6, the penetration path of the plating solution in the plating of the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the present embodiment is indicated by an arrow in fig. 6, and the dotted line frame indicates that the penetration of the plating solution to the position causes a decrease in insulation resistance, and the penetration path of the plating solution is long, and the plating solution cannot reach the internal electrodes 12 exposed at the end faces of the ceramic body 1, so that the decrease in insulation resistance is not caused. As shown in fig. 2, the penetration path of the plating solution during electroplating of the conventional multilayer ceramic capacitor is indicated by an arrow in fig. 2, and the dotted line frame indicates that the penetration of the plating solution to the position causes the insulation resistance to be reduced.
In conclusion, the insulating layer 3 is arranged to prevent the plating solution from permeating during the subsequent electroplating operation, the plating solution can only enter along the end part of the terminal electrode 2 which is not covered by the insulating layer 3, the plating solution can only enter along the terminal electrode 2 in the permeation direction, so that the permeation surface is narrow, the permeation path is long, and the plating solution cannot reach the inner electrode 12 exposed out of the ceramic body 1, thereby avoiding the situation that the insulation resistance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is reduced due to the fact that the plating solution permeates into the ceramic body 1, and the conducting layer 4 is arranged on the surface of the insulating layer 3, can conduct electricity with the terminal electrode 2 and further can form reliable electric connection with the inner electrode 12 in the ceramic body 1, and is convenient for automatic electric performance sorting of the multilayer ceramic capacitor; in addition, the multilayer ceramic capacitor is soldered to the wiring board 7 by the end of the terminal electrode 2 exposed from the conductive layer 4, so that the connection area between the multilayer ceramic capacitor and the wiring board 7 is small and the distance between two solder points is small, thereby effectively suppressing the transmission of the piezoelectric vibration of the multilayer ceramic capacitor to the wiring board 7 and reducing the squeaking noise of the wiring board 7.
