Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic component includes a stack containing ceramic layers and electrode layers interspersed among the ceramic layers. The electrode layers contain copper and define first and second internal electrodes. First and second external contacts are on different sides of the stack. The first and second external contacts contain copper and are substantially perpendicular to the ceramic layers and electrode layers. The first internal electrode is connected to the first external contact and the second internal electrode is connected to the second external contact. The first and second internal electrodes overlap each other at a plane intersecting the stack. In areas adjacent to boundaries between the first and second external contacts and the ceramic layers, the first and second external contacts are not oxidized and material making-up the ceramic layers is not diminished. A bonding strength of the external contacts to the stack exceeds 50 N.
Abstract:
An actuator includes a stack of piezoelectric layers, and electrode layers between the piezoelectric layers. A stabilization element is attached to a side surface of the stack. The stabilization element fixes a height of the stack so that the height does not change when an operating voltage is applied to at least one of the electrode layers.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric transformer with a base body containing a piezoelectric material is disclosed. The piezoelectric material is polarized in an input part of the base body along a first axis and in an output part of the base body along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. In a transition region between the input part and the output part, the polarization of the piezoelectric material gradually changes its direction from a polarization along the first axis to a polarization along the second axis.
Abstract:
A piezoactuator includes a base. The base contains a stack of piezoelectric layers and electrode layers interspersed among the piezoelectric layers. The piezoelectric layers contain a ceramic material; the piezoelectric layers and the electrode layers are sintered together; and the base has a hole therethrough. The piezoactuator also includes a contact element, such as a pin, in the hole. The contact element is for use in forming an electrical connection to at least some of the electrode layers.

Abstract:
A multiple-layer component includes at least two metal layers, at least one dielectric layer among the at least two metal layers, and a contact element that includes a porous body that electrically connects the at least two metal layers. The at least one dielectric layer includes dielectric layers made from ceramic material that are sintered.
Abstract:
A method of producing an electrical component includes forming a stack of ceramic green films, where the stack has a hole that is accessible from external to the stack, inserting a cover into the hole, and sintering the stack together with the cover. The method may also include boring the hole through the stack of ceramic green films.
Abstract:
A multilayer component includes a ceramic base body and at least one internal electrode in the ceramic base body. The at least one internal electrode includes holes, and is made of a material having a liquidus temperature that differs from a sintering temperature of the ceramic base body. The ceramic base body is sinterable such that formation of holes in the at least one internal electrode occurs during sintering.
