Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a multilayer ceramic electronic device having a thermally curable conductive paste and an external electrode formed by using the thermally conductive paste. [0002]

The present invention relates to a multilayer ceramic electronic component having a thermosetting conductive paste and an external electrode formed using the same. In particular, the present invention relates to a multilayer ceramic electronic component such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor having a thermosetting conductive paste capable of forming an external electrode suitable for a plating process, and an external electrode formed using the same.

A multilayer ceramic capacitor 1, which is an example of a multilayer ceramic electronic component, is shown in Fig. The external electrodes 4 of the multilayer ceramic capacitor 1 are generally formed by the following method using a small-sized conductive paste or a thermosetting conductive paste.

In the first method, for example, a small-sized conductive paste obtained by mixing conductive particles such as silver powder or copper powder with a glass frit in a vehicle is applied to the take-out surface of the internal electrode 3 of the laminated ceramic composite, To 900 캜, thereby forming the external electrode 4.

In the second method, a thermosetting conductive paste obtained by mixing conductive particles such as silver powder with a thermosetting resin is coated on the take-out surface of the internal electrode 3 of the multilayer ceramic composite body and then thermally cured at a low temperature of 150 to 250 DEG C, Thereby forming the electrode 4 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the third method, a thermosetting conductive paste obtained by mixing thermosetting resin and conductive particles such as a thermally decomposable organometallic compound or silver powder such as acetic acid silver is applied onto the take-out surface of the internal electrode 3 of the multilayer ceramic composite body, C to form the external electrode 4 (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

The fourth method is a method in which a thermosetting conductive paste containing conductive particles having a high melting point and a metal powder having a melting point of 300 DEG C or lower is applied to the thermosetting resin on the take-out surface of the internal electrode 3 of the multilayer ceramic composite, The external electrode 4 is formed by thermosetting at a low temperature of 100 占 폚 (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

In either method, a plating 5 is applied to the surface of the electrode layer as necessary in order to increase the bonding strength when soldering the resulting capacitor element to a substrate or the like. For example, nickel plating is performed on the surface of the external electrode by electroplating with a watt bath or the like, and then solder plating or Sn plating is further performed by electrolytic plating.

However, the capacitor having the external electrode obtained in the first method has a problem that glass frit components in the conductive paste diffuse into the capacitor element at high temperature firing, thereby causing cracking during soldering and mounting on the substrate. Further, there is a problem in the reliability of the capacitor performance that the electrostatic capacity is lower than the designed value or the insulation resistance is deteriorated due to the penetration of the plating liquid into the sintered body during the plating treatment.

On the other hand, the capacitor having the external electrode obtained by the second method can solve the above-described problems in mounting the substrate on the substrate or in the plating process. However, since the curing temperature is low, the conductive particles, such as silver powder in the conductive paste, The solid-state diffusion of the metals does not progress, and the electrical characteristics such as the electrostatic capacity designed by the defective junction of the inner and outer electrodes can not be obtained and the reliability is lowered.

Further, the capacitor having the external electrode obtained by the third method has drawbacks such that the available time of the paste is shortened by the added acetic acid silver and the amine, and insulation deterioration occurs in the wet life time.

In the capacitor having the external electrode obtained in the fourth method, the solder reflow temperature at the time of mounting the electronic component on the board is increased in the lead-free movement due to the recent lead problem, and the solder reflow temperature of the metal powder having a low melting point There is a possibility that solder exposure due to melting occurs.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems in the prior art in the formation of the external electrode and the subsequent plating process. Recently, multilayer ceramic electronic parts such as capacitors have been required to have high performance, There is room for improvement in electrical characteristics (tan?), Reliability (heat cycle resistance, moisture resistance), and the like (see Patent Document 4).

For example, when used for screen printing, the apparent viscosity of the conductive paste at room temperature is preferably from 10 to 500 Pa · s, more preferably from 15 to 300 Pa · s. As the diluent, an organic solvent is used. The organic solvent is selected according to the kind of the resin, and the amount of the organic solvent to be used is selected depending on the kind and composition ratio of the components (A), (B), (C) The method of printing or coating, and the like.

However, in the case of curing at 250 DEG C or less, it is preferable that the curing time is 10 to 60 minutes from the viewpoint of bonding with the internal electrode. For example, when the resin in the paste is an epoxy resin using a phenol resin as a curing agent, external electrodes can be obtained by performing curing at 200 to 350 DEG C for 10 to 60 minutes. It is preferable to avoid abrupt heating (for example, rapid heating to 300 DEG C or higher) in order to prevent the volatile components in the paste from evaporating at once and causing the coating film to undergo expansion and cracking.

Also, the internal electrode layer is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that a nonmetal such as nickel, copper or the like which is inexpensive and easy to obtain is used as the internal electrode. In addition, when a Sn-Ag-Ni compound is formed at the interface between the external electrode and the ceramic composite body at the time of forming the external electrode, good electrical characteristics (tan?) And high reliability (resistance to heat cycle and humidity resistance) The surface of the inner electrode of the composite preferably includes nickel, and particularly, a ceramic composite in which the internal electrode is nickel is preferable. The multilayer ceramic electronic component of the present invention may be, for example, a capacitor, a capacitor array, a thermistor, a varistor, an inductor, and an LC, CR, LR and LCR composite component.

The obtained multilayer ceramic electronic component is plated on the surface of the electrode layer as necessary in order to further increase the bonding strength when soldered to a substrate or the like. The plating treatment is performed according to a known method, and it is preferable that lead-free plating is performed in consideration of the environment. For example, nickel plating is performed on the surface of the external electrode by electrolytic plating or electroless plating such as a watt bath, and then solder plating or tin plating is further performed by electrolytic plating or electroless plating.

The multilayer ceramic electronic component obtained by plating the surface of the external electrode formed of the thermosetting conductive paste of the present invention thus obtained is excellent in electrical properties such as bonding properties of the inner and outer electrodes and is useful for mounting on a circuit board or the like.

The silver fine powder having an average particle diameter of 130 nm in Table 1 is produced as follows. 3.0 kg (30.9 moles) of 3-methoxypropylamine was placed in a 10 L glass reaction vessel. With stirring, 5.0 kg (30.0 mol) of acetic acid was added while maintaining the reaction temperature at 45 占 폚 or lower. Immediately after the addition, the solution became a transparent solution and dissolved. As the addition progressed, the solution became turbid gradually, and when the whole amount was added, it became a viscous solution of a grayish brown color. 1.0 kg (21.0 mol) of 95 wt% formic acid was slowly added dropwise thereto. Significant exotherm immediately after dropping was observed, while the reaction temperature was maintained at 30 to 45 캜. Initially, the turbid solution of turbid gray changed from brown to black. After the entire amount was added, the reaction was terminated. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at 40 占 폚 and separated into two layers. The upper layer was a transparent yellow liquid, and black silver fine particles precipitated in the lower layer. The solution in the upper layer contained no silver component. The solution in the upper layer was removed by tilting and layer separation was carried out using methanol to obtain a silver fine powder having a silver content of 89% by weight.

The obtained silver fine powder is as follows. Average particle diameter 130 nm, crystallite diameter 40 nm, average particle diameter / crystallite diameter = 3.25. Here, the average particle diameter was an average value of the haze diameter obtained by image analysis and observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The crystallite diameter was measured by an X-ray diffraction measurement apparatus (M18XHF22) (1, 1, 1) plane peak with a ray as a source, and is calculated from Scherr's equation.

Next, the silver fine powder having an average particle diameter of 30 nm and 80 nm and the silver fine tin powder having an average particle diameter of 30 nm in Table 1 are prepared as follows. The inside of the plasma reaction chamber was reduced in pressure, replaced with argon atmosphere, and then the pressure was adjusted to 500 Torr to generate an RF plasma frame. From the raw material supply apparatus, argon was used as a carrier gas, and silver foil or silver silicate having a thickness of 5 탆 and a width of 10 mm was fed continuously from the inlet to the reaction chamber at a feeding rate of 1 to 3 g / min while cooling the inlet . The silver or silver tin evaporated in the plasma frame recycled outside the plasma frame to form a silver or silver tin powder. The resulting silver or silver tin powder was sent to the collector together with the carrier gas and collected by a filter. The obtained silver or silver tin powder was in a spherical shape. A supply rate of the raw material foil was varied to prepare silver or silver tin fine powder having an average particle diameter of 30 nm and 80 nm.
