The terminal electrode is formed by an external electrode baked on the end face of the ceramic body and a plating film formed on the external electrode. As the plating film, for example, a Ni plating film is formed to obtain solder resistance during soldering, and a plating film such as Sn or Sn / Pb is formed to further improve solderability. Such a plating film is formed by a so-called wet plating method in which a ceramic body is electroplated in a plating solution.

In a ceramic electronic component, fine voids exist in the ceramic body itself, and fine voids also exist in an external electrode formed by baking. When the internal electrodes are formed on the ceramic body, fine voids also exist at the interface between the internal electrodes and the ceramic insulator. Therefore, when the ceramic body on which the external electrodes are baked is immersed in the plating solution, the plating solution penetrates into the gap between the ceramic body and the external electrodes and remains.

In order to prevent such intrusion of the plating solution, for example, a thermosetting resin such as silicon or phenol is impregnated into a ceramic body on which external electrodes are baked, and then the resin is cured to make the surface extra. There is a method of removing unnecessary resin by polishing or washing excess resin with a solvent or the like. By such a method, the gap between the ceramic body and the external electrode is sealed with a resin, and a plating film is formed on the external electrode surface by wet plating.

Example 2 In the same manner as in Example 1, a ceramic body for a laminated ceramic capacitor having a water-repellent agent and a base electrode formed thereon was immersed in the water-repellent agent for 2 minutes, drained, and air-dried. . Thereafter, the ceramic body was placed in an oven and heat-treated at 100 to 120 ° C. for 30 minutes. As a comparative example, as in Example 1, a ceramic body to which a water-repellent agent was adsorbed without performing heat treatment was prepared. And
Assuming that the water-repellent agent was peeled off during handling in the mass production process, these ceramic bodies were subjected to barrel processing at 60 rpm for 30 minutes using a 2 L polypot. Further, Ni plating and Sn plating were sequentially performed on the base electrode to produce a multilayer ceramic capacitor. For these multilayer ceramic capacitors, the penetration of plating into the electrodes, the solderability, and the moisture resistance load test were performed in the same manner as in Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 2.

As can be seen from Table 2, in the case of air drying only,
In the moisture resistance load test, 2 out of 200 samples
In each case, penetration of plating into the electrode was observed, and in two of the 200 cases, deterioration of insulation resistance was observed. This is considered to be because the water-repellent treatment agent film was peeled off by the barrel treatment. On the other hand, when heat treatment is performed, the water-repellent agent is polycondensed and covalently bonds to the underlying electrode, the water-repellent agent does not peel off by the barrel treatment, and the insulation resistance is not deteriorated even in the moisture resistance load test.

Example 3 A ceramic body for a chip inductor made of a porous ferrite material was prepared as a ceramic body. Using this ceramic body, a water-repellent treatment was performed on the external electrode and Ni plating and Sn plating were sequentially performed in the same manner as in Example 1 to form terminal electrodes on both end faces of the ceramic body. As comparative examples, those without water-repellent treatment, those with a water-repellent agent using a carboxyl group as an adsorbing group, and those with resin impregnation were produced. Then, in the same manner as in Example 1, plating intrusion into the electrode, solderability, and moisture resistance load test were performed, and the results are shown in Table 3.

As can be seen from Table 3, with the water-repellent treatment of the present invention, there was no plating intrusion into the electrode, the solderability was good, and the insulation resistance deteriorated even in the moisture resistance load test. I couldn't see it. On the other hand, in the comparative example, in the moisture resistance load test, the insulation resistance was deteriorated. In this regard, water repellency is not obtained without performing the water repellent treatment, and when a water repellent containing a carboxyl group is used, the water repellent is weakly adsorbed to the external electrode. It is believed that there is. In the case of resin impregnation, the void of ferrite is smaller than the external electrode,
This is considered to be because impregnation is not sufficient with the conventional resin. However, when the water-repellent agent used in the electrode forming method of the present invention is used, the water-repellent agent is easily adsorbed to the external electrode, and a sufficient water-repellent effect can be obtained.

According to the present invention, since the water-repellent agent is sufficiently adsorbed to the external electrode and a water-repellent effect is obtained, it is possible to prevent the plating solution from entering the ceramic body. Moreover, a ceramic electronic component can be easily manufactured only by immersing the ceramic body on which the external electrodes are formed in a water-repellent agent and drying. Further, if the water-repellent agent is dried and then subjected to polycondensation by heating, the abrasion resistance is high and the water-repellent agent film can be hardly peeled off in the manufacturing process. Therefore, even when mass-producing ceramic electronic components, it is possible to prevent deterioration of characteristics due to intrusion of the plating solution. Further, even when a porous ceramic body is used, by using the electrode forming method of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a plating solution from entering the ceramic body, and to obtain a ceramic electronic component with less characteristic variation. Can be.
