Abstract

L'invention concerne des condensateurs ultraminces multicouches en céramique qui remplissent les exigences COG et qui sont compatibles avec les conditions de frittage en atmosphère réductrice de façon que des métaux non nobles tels que le nickel et les alliages de nickel puissent être utilisés pour des électrodes internes et externes. Les condensateurs présentent des propriétés diélectriques souhaitables (capacité élevée, facteur de faible dissipation, résistance d'isolement élevée), un excellent rendement dans les essais de durée de vie fortement accélérés et une très bonne résistance au claquage diélectrique. Les couches diélectriques comprennent une matrice de zirconate de strontium dopée avec d'autres oxydes métalliques tels que TiO2, MgO, B2O3, CaO, A12O3 SiO2 et SrO dans diverses combinaisons. La figure 1 illustre une vue en coupe d'un condensateur ultramince multicouche en céramique (1) selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention. Les électrodes externes (4) du condensateur (1) sont disposées sur des surfaces latérales de la puce de condensateur (1) et en connexion électrique avec les couches des électrodes internes (3). La puce de condensateur (1) comprend une pluralité de couches diélectriques empilées en alternance (2).
