Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a dielectric ceramic composition and a multilayer ceramic capacitor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a multilayer ceramic capacitor is generally manufactured as follows. First,
A sheet-shaped dielectric material having an electrode material serving as an internal electrode applied to the surface thereof is prepared. As the dielectric material, for example, a material mainly containing BaTiO ₃ is used. Next, the sheet-shaped dielectric material coated with the electrode material is laminated, thermocompression-bonded, and the integrated material is fired at 1250 to 1350 ° C. in an air atmosphere to form a ceramic laminated body having internal electrodes. can get. Then, an external electrode electrically connected to the internal electrode is baked on the end face of the ceramic laminate to obtain a multilayer ceramic capacitor.

Conventionally, noble metals such as platinum, gold, palladium and silver-palladium alloys have been used as materials for the internal electrodes of such multilayer ceramic capacitors. However, although these electrode materials have excellent characteristics, they are expensive, which has been a factor of increasing the manufacturing cost. Therefore, at present, a multilayer capacitor using a base metal Ni as an internal electrode has been proposed in order to reduce the manufacturing cost, and the usage thereof has been increasing.

[0004]

As electronic devices become smaller, more sophisticated, and lower in cost, multilayer ceramic capacitors are becoming lower in cost, higher in dielectric strength, higher in insulation, and more reliable. There is a strong demand for higher capacity and larger capacity.
To reduce the cost of electronic equipment, it is advantageous to use low-cost multilayer ceramic capacitors that use nickel for the internal electrodes.However, conventional dielectric ceramic materials must be used under low electric field strength. Was designed on the assumption that
When used under a high electric field strength, there arises a problem that the insulation resistance value, the dielectric strength and the reliability are extremely reduced. That is, there has been no multilayer ceramic capacitor that can be used under high electric field strength while using nickel for the internal electrode.

More specifically, the dielectric materials disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 57-42588 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 61-101449 have a large dielectric constant, but the crystal grains of the obtained dielectric porcelain can be obtained. As a result, when used under a high electric field strength, the multilayer ceramic capacitor has a drawback that the dielectric strength decreases and the average life time of the high-temperature load test decreases.

In the dielectric material disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-14611, the dielectric constant obtained under a low electric field strength is as high as 2000 to 2800, but when used under a high electric field strength, the dielectric constant, that is, the static dielectric constant is low. There is a drawback that the electric capacity is significantly reduced. In addition, there is also a disadvantage that the insulation resistance value is low. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device in which the insulation resistance is multiplied by the capacitance (CR) when used at a high electric field strength, specifically, a high electric field strength of about 10 kV / mm.
At room temperature and 150 ° C., which are as high as 5000 Ω · F and 190 to 200 Ω · F or more, respectively, the voltage dependency of the insulation resistance is small, and the stability of the capacitance with respect to the DC bias voltage is excellent. It has a high dielectric strength, a temperature characteristic of capacitance satisfies the B characteristic stipulated in JIS standard and the X7R characteristic stipulated in EIA standard, respectively, and has excellent weather resistance such as high temperature load and moisture resistance load. In an attempt to provide a dielectric ceramic composition capable of forming a dielectric ceramic layer, and while using such a dielectric ceramic composition as a dielectric ceramic layer, the internal electrode was formed of Ni or a Ni alloy, An object of the present invention is to provide a multilayer ceramic capacitor.

First, the basic structure of a multilayer ceramic capacitor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a dielectric ceramic layer portion having internal electrodes in the multilayer ceramic capacitor of FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a ceramic laminate portion of the capacitor.

This ceramic slurry was formed into a sheet by a doctor blade method to obtain a rectangular green sheet having a thickness of 35 μm. Thereafter, a conductive paste mainly composed of Ni was printed on the ceramic green sheet to form a conductive paste layer for forming internal electrodes.

Thereafter, a plurality of ceramic green sheets on which the conductive paste layer was formed were laminated so that the sides from which the conductive paste was drawn out were alternated, to obtain a laminate.

As shown in sample number 1, R_TwoO_ThreeThe amount α is not 0.001
When full, the insulation resistance is low and the CR product is small,
Not preferred. On the other hand, as shown in sample No. 2, R_TwoO_ThreeQuantity α
Exceeds 0.06, the temperature characteristic is B characteristic / X7
R characteristics are not satisfied, and reliability is deteriorated.
No. Therefore, R_TwoO_ThreeThe amount α is 0.001 ≦ α ≦ 0.
The range of 06 is preferable.

Further, as shown in Sample No. 3, BaZrO ₃
When the amount β is 0, the insulation resistance is low, and the voltage dependence of the insulation resistance is larger than that of a system containing BaZrO _3, which is not preferable. On the other hand, as shown in Sample No. 4, the amount of BaZrO ₃ β
Exceeds 0.06, the temperature characteristic is also B characteristic / X7
It is not preferable because the R characteristics are not satisfied and the average life time is short. Therefore, the BaZrO ₃ amount β is 0.005 ≦ β ≦
A range of 0.06 is preferred.

When the MgO content γ is 0.001, as in sample No. 5, the insulation resistance is low and the temperature characteristics do not satisfy the B characteristics / X7R characteristics, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the MgO amount γ exceeds 0.12, as in Sample No. 6,
The sintering temperature increases, the dielectric loss exceeds 2.0%, the number of defectives increases extremely in a moisture resistance load test, and the average life time is undesirably shortened. Therefore, the MgO amount γ is preferably in the range of 0.001 <γ ≦ 0.12.

Further, when the amount g of MnO is 0.001, as in sample No. 7, the measurement cannot be performed due to the semiconductor, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the MnO amount g exceeds 0.12 as in Sample No. 8, the temperature characteristic X7R is not satisfied, the insulation resistance is low, and the average life time is short, which is not preferable. Therefore, the amount g of MnO is 0.001 <g ≦ 0.
A range of 12 is preferred.

Further, as shown in sample No. 9, MgO and Mn
If the total γ + g of the O content exceeds 0.13, the dielectric loss is increased to 2.0% or more, the average life time is shortened, and the number of failures in the moisture resistance load test is undesirably increased. Therefore, the total γ + g of the amounts of MgO and MnO is γ + g
The range of g ≦ 0.13 is preferred. Further, when the BaO / TiO ₂ ratio m is less than 1.000 as in Sample No. 10, the measurement cannot be performed because of the semiconductor, which is not preferable. Further, when the BaO / TiO ₂ ratio m is 1.000 as in Sample No. 11, the insulation resistance is low, the AC and DC breakdown voltages are low, and the average life time is short, which is not preferable. On the other hand, as in Sample Nos. 12 and 13, BaO / TiO
_{When the} ratio m exceeds 1.035, measurement becomes impossible due to insufficient sintering, which is not preferable. Therefore, BaO / TiO
_The ratio m is preferably in the range of 1.000 <m ≦ 1.035.

As shown in sample numbers 14 and 16,
The addition amount of the first subcomponent or the addition amount of the second subcomponent is 0
In case (1), measurement is impossible due to insufficient sintering, which is not preferable.
On the other hand, as in Sample Nos. 15 and 17, when the added amount of the first subcomponent or the added amount of the second subcomponent exceeds 3.0 parts by weight, the dielectric loss exceeds 1.0%, and In addition, the insulation resistance and the breakdown voltage are low, and the average lifetime is undesirably short. Therefore, the content of either the first or second subcomponent is preferably in the range of 0.2 to 3.0 parts by weight.

Further, the content of the alkali metal oxide contained as an impurity in the barium titanate was set to 0.02% by weight or less, as shown in Sample No. 18, when the content of the alkali metal oxide was 0.1%. If it exceeds 02% by weight,
This is because a decrease in the dielectric constant occurs. (Example 2) as a dielectric powder, using a barium titanate A in Table _{1, BaO 1.010 · TiO 2 +} 0.03G

Also, as shown in sample number 303, BaZr
When the O ₃ amount β is 0, the insulation resistance is low and BaZrO
_This is not preferable because the voltage dependence of the insulation resistance is larger than that of a system containing ₃ . On the other hand, BaZr
When the amount of O ₃ exceeds 0.06, the temperature characteristics do not satisfy the B characteristics / X7R characteristics, and the average life time is short, which is not preferable. Therefore, the BaZrO ₃ amount β is 0.00
The range of 5 ≦ β ≦ 0.06 is preferable.

When the MnO content γ is 0.001, as in the case of sample number 305, measurement cannot be performed due to the semiconductor, which is not preferable. On the other hand, as shown in sample number 306, MnO

Further, when the addition amount of the first sub-component or the addition amount of the second sub-component is 0 as in Sample Nos. 311 and 313, measurement becomes impossible due to insufficient sintering, which is not preferable.
