摘要:
A method is used to manufacture a multilayer electronic component including a multilayer composite including internal electrodes having ends that are exposed at a predetermined surface of the multilayer composite. In the method, the exposed ends of the internal electrodes are coated with a metal film primarily composed of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Pd, Au, Pt and Ag and having a thickness of at least about 0.1 μm by immersing the multilayer composite in a liquid containing a metal ion or a metal complex. Then, a continuous plating layer is formed by depositing a plating metal on the ends of the internal electrodes exposed at the predetermined surface of the multilayer composite, and subsequently growing the deposits of the plating metal so as to be connected to each other. Thus, exposed ends of the internal electrodes are electrically connected to each other.

In a laminated ceramic electronic component, external terminal electrodes include plating films directly covering exposed portions of internal electrodes on end surfaces of a ceramic element assembly. On the boundaries between the end surfaces and principal surfaces of the ceramic element assembly, substantially rounded corners are provided, and the plating films are arranged such that the ends of the plating films stop at the corners and do not project from the principal surfaces.

A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes external terminal electrodes that are formed by depositing metal plating films on exposed portions of internal conductors embedded in a ceramic body, depositing a copper plating films that cover the metal plating films and make contact with the ceramic body around the metal plating films, and heat-treating the ceramic body to generate a copper liquid phase, an oxygen liquid phase, and a copper solid phase between the copper plating films and the ceramic body. The mixed phase including these phases forms a region at which a copper oxide is present in a discontinuous manner inside the copper plating film at least at the interfaces between the ceramic body and the copper plating films. The copper oxide securely attaches the copper plating films to the ceramic body and enhances the bonding force of the external terminal electrodes.
摘要:
In a method for manufacturing a laminated ceramic electronic component, when a plating film to define an external terminal electrode is formed by plating exposed ends of a plurality of internal electrodes at a WT surface of a component main body, ingress of a plating solution may be caused from a gap between an end edge of the plating film and the component main body to decrease the reliability of a laminated electronic component obtained. An internal dummy electrode is provided around a region where the exposed ends of the plurality of internal electrodes are distributed in the WT surface of the component main body. The internal dummy electrode includes two LW-direction sections extending parallel or substantially parallel to each other in a direction along the LW surface, and two LT-direction sections extending parallel or substantially parallel to each other in a direction along the LT surface. The plating film is formed at least over the exposed end of the internal dummy electrode. The internal dummy electrode is formed by wrapping an outer layer sheet with the internal dummy electrode formed around a laminate composed of ceramic layers and the internal electrodes.

A multilayer electronic device includes a laminate and an external electrode that is formed on an end surface of the laminate after a plurality of conductive particles having a particle diameter of about 1 μm or more is adhered to the end surface of the laminate, for example, by a sandblast method or a brush polishing method. The external electrode is defined by a plating film that is formed by electroplating or electroless plating.
