摘要:
When an external terminal electrode of a ceramic electronic component such as a laminated ceramic capacitor is formed by plating, plating growth may be also caused even in an undesired location. The ceramic surface provided by a component main body is configured to include a high plating growth region of, for example, a barium titanate based ceramic, which exhibits relatively high plating growth, and a low plating growth region of, for example, a calcium zirconate based ceramic, which exhibits relatively low plating growth. The plating film constituting a first layer to define a base for an external terminal electrode is formed in such a way that the growth of a plated deposit deposited with conductive surfaces provided by exposed ends of internal electrodes as starting points is limited so as not to cross over a boundary between the high plating growth region and the low plating growth region toward the low plating growth region.

An electronic component that is prevented from being inclined with respect to a circuit board during and after mounting includes a laminated body that is preferably configured by stacking a plurality of insulator layers, and includes a lower surface with depressions provided thereon. The lower surface includes a series of outer edges of the insulator layers. Capacitor electrodes are defined by internal conductors incorporated in the laminated body, which respectively have exposed sections that are exposed from between the insulator layers in the depressions on the lower surface. External electrodes, which are preferably formed directly by plating, are provided in the depressions to cover the exposed sections.

A method for manufacturing a laminated electronic component includes the steps of preparing a laminated component main body, the component main body including internal electrodes formed therein, and each of the internal electrodes being partially exposed on an external surface of the component main body, and forming an external terminal electrode on the external surface of the component main body such that the external terminal electrode is electrically connected to the internal electrodes. The step of forming the external terminal electrode includes the steps of forming a metal layer on exposed surfaces of the internal electrodes, applying a water repellant on a surface of the metal layer and a section of the external surface of the component main body at which an end edge of the metal layer is located, and then forming a conductive resin layer on the metal layer having the water repellant applied thereon.
摘要:
In a method for manufacturing a laminated ceramic electronic component, after a plating layer for an external terminal electrode is formed by applying copper plating to an end surface of a component main body at which respective ends of a plurality of internal electrodes primarily including nickel are exposed, when a heat treatment at a temperature of about 800° C. or more is applied in order to improve adhesion strength and resistance to moisture of the external terminal electrode, voids may occur in the plating layer. The step of applying a heat treatment at a temperature of about 800° C. or more to a component main body with plating layers formed thereon includes not only a step of maintaining a top temperature of about 1000° C. or more but also a step of maintaining a temperature of about 600° C. to 900° C. at least once before the step of maintaining the top temperature.
摘要:
In a method of forming an external electrode by growing plated depositions on exposed ends of a plurality of internal electrodes in a component main body, the component main body is polished to increase exposure of the internal electrodes. To prevent decreased external electrode fixing strength, a radius of curvature is reduced to about 0.01 mm or less for an R chamfered section formed in a ridge section of the component main body during polishing by ion milling, and exposed ends of the internal electrodes are recessed from end surfaces of the component main body with a recess length of about 1 μm or less. Plating films to serve as external electrodes are formed to extend from the end surfaces of the component main body across the R chamfered section, and include end edges located on at least one of the principal surfaces and the side surfaces.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a laminated electronic component in which, when first plating layers that respectively connect a plurality of internal electrodes to each other and second plating layers that improves the mountability of a laminated electronic component are formed as external terminal electrodes, the entire component main body is treated with a water repellent agent after the formation of the first plating layers, and the water repellent agent on the first plating layers is then removed before the formation of the second plating layers. The gaps between the end edges of the first plating films on the outer surface of the component main body and the outer surface of the component main body are filled with the water repellent agent.
摘要:
A laminate includes ceramic layers laminated to each other. Internal conductors are embedded in the laminate and include exposed portions that are exposed between the ceramic layers at a lower surface and an upper surface of the laminate. External electrodes are directly plated on the lower surface and the upper surface so as to cover the respective exposed portions. Regions of the lower surface at which the exposed portions are provided are arranged to protrude from the other regions of the lower surface, and regions of the upper surface at which the exposed portions are provided are arranged to protrude from the other regions of the upper surface.
