Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminated electronic component, a laminated chip electronic component,

The present invention relates to a multilayer chip electronic component capable of reducing acoustic noise generated by a multilayer chip electronic component when a voltage is applied, a mounting substrate thereof, and a package.

A laminated capacitor, which is one of the multilayer chip electronic components, has internal electrodes formed between a plurality of dielectric layers.

When direct current and alternating voltage are applied to a laminated capacitor in which internal electrodes overlapping each other with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween, piezoelectric phenomenon occurs between the internal electrodes and vibration occurs.

The vibration tends to become conspicuous when the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer is higher and the shape of the chip is relatively large on the basis of the same capacitance. The vibration is transmitted from the external electrode of the laminated capacitor to the printed circuit board on which the laminated capacitor is mounted. At this time, the printed circuit board vibrates to generate noise.

That is, if the noise generated by the vibration of the printed circuit board is included in the audible frequency range (20 to 20000 Hz), the vibration sound gives an uncomfortable feeling to a person. Such a sound is called acoustic noise.

The inventors of the present invention have studied the mounting direction of the internal electrodes in the laminated capacitor on the printed circuit board in order to reduce the acoustic noise. As a result of the research, when the laminated capacitor is mounted on the printed circuit board so that the internal electrode has a horizontal direction with respect to the printed circuit board, the acoustic noise is reduced as compared with the case where the internal electrode is mounted so as to have a direction perpendicular to the printed circuit board .

However, even if the laminated capacitor is mounted on a printed circuit board so that the internal electrodes have a horizontal directionality with respect to the printed circuit board, even if the acoustic noise is measured, the noise level becomes a certain level or more. Therefore, researches that can further reduce the acoustic noise .

Also, the external color of the laminated capacitor is dark brown, and research has also been needed to mount the internal electrode so that the internal electrode has a horizontal orientation with the printed circuit board.

The following Patent Document 1 discloses a technical feature in which the pitch between the signal lines is narrowed in order to reduce the high frequency noise although the internal electrodes are mounted so as to have a horizontal orientation with the printed circuit board. On the other hand, Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose that the thicknesses of the upper cover layer and the lower cover layer of the laminated capacitor are different from each other, but there is no proposal for solving the problem of improving or reducing acoustic noise. Moreover, in order to reduce acoustic noise, the range of the extent to which the center of the active layer proposed by the claims of the present patent and embodiments of the present invention deviate from the center of the multilayer chip capacitor, the ratio between the upper cover layer and the lower cover layer, The ratio of the lower cover layer to the thickness of the body, the ratio of the lower cover layer to the thickness of the active layer, and the like.

Patent Documents 4 and 5 disclose a technique of forming markings on the upper surface of a multilayer chip capacitor so as to distinguish upper and lower portions of the multilayer chip capacitor. However, in the claims of the present patent and the embodiments of the present invention And the like that a semitransparent identification layer is formed in the cover layer in the ceramic body and the like.

2 is a cross-sectional view of the multilayer chip capacitor of FIG. 1 taken along its length and thickness direction, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the multilayer chip capacitor of FIG. Are schematic sectional views of the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction for explaining the dimensional relationship of the multilayer chip capacitor of FIG.

1 to 3, the multilayer chip capacitor 10 may include a ceramic body 12, an external electrode 40, an active layer 60, and upper and lower cover layers 53 and 55.

The ceramic body 12 may be manufactured by applying a conductive paste to form the internal electrode 20 on the ceramic green sheet, laminating the ceramic green sheet on which the internal electrode 20 is formed, and then firing the ceramic green sheet. The ceramic body 12 may be formed by repeatedly stacking a plurality of dielectric layers 52 and 54 and internal electrodes 22 and 24.

The ceramic body 12 may have a hexahedral shape. Due to the plastic shrinkage of the ceramic powder at the time of chip firing, the ceramic body 12 may have a substantially hexahedral shape although it is not a hexahedron with a perfect straight line.

In order to clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, when the directions of the hexahedron are defined, L, W and T shown in Fig. 1 indicate the longitudinal direction, the width direction and the thickness direction, respectively. Here, the thickness direction can be used in the same concept as the lamination direction in which the dielectric layers are laminated.

The embodiment of Fig. 1 is a multilayer chip capacitor 10 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape whose longitudinal direction is larger than the width or thickness direction.

As the material forming the dielectric layer 50, a ceramic powder having a high dielectric constant may be used for high capacity. The ceramic powder may be, for example, barium titanate (BaTiO ₃ ) powder, strontium titanate (SrTiO ₃ ) powder, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

The first and second external electrodes 42 and 44 may be formed of a conductive paste containing metal powder. The metal powder contained in the conductive paste may be Cu, Ni, or an alloy thereof, and is not particularly limited thereto.

The inner electrode 20 may include a first inner electrode 22 and a second inner electrode 24. The first and second inner electrodes 22 and 24 may be formed of a first and a second outer electrodes 22 and 24, (42, 44).

The first internal electrode 22 and the second internal electrode 24 have first and second electrode pattern portions 222 and 242 which are opposed to each other with a dielectric layer 54 And may include first and second lead portions 224 and 244 that are drawn out to the first and second external electrodes 42 and 44, respectively.

The first and second electrode pattern units 222 and 242 may be stacked in the thickness direction to constitute an active layer 60 forming a capacitance in the ceramic body 12.

Can be defined as a margin portion excluding the active layer 60 in the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction cross section of the multilayer chip capacitor. The upper margin portion and the lower margin portion of the active layer 60 in the thickness direction may be defined as an upper cover layer 53 and a lower cover layer 55, among the margin portions.

The ceramic green sheet is sintered like the dielectric layers 52 and 54 formed between the first internal electrode 22 and the second internal electrode 24 in the upper cover layer 53 and the lower cover layer 55 .

A plurality of dielectric layers 50 including the upper cover layer 53 and the lower cover layer 55 are sintered so that a boundary between adjacent dielectric layers 50 is formed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) So that it is difficult to confirm without using the above-mentioned system.

In this embodiment, the lower cover layer 55 may have a larger thickness than the upper cover layer 53. That is, the lower cover layer 55 can have a larger thickness than the upper cover layer 53 by increasing the number of laminated ceramic green sheets compared to the upper cover layer 53.

The lower cover layer 55 may include an identification layer 30 having a color different from the upper cover layer in the ceramic body 12.

The identification layer 30 may have a thickness of 30 占 퐉 or more after firing and a thickness of the lower cover layer or less. The identification layer 30 may be formed by stacking at least eight ceramic green sheets of 4 탆 or less.

The identification layer 30 may include a compound represented by ABO ₃ as a main component. Here, A may include Ba or Ba and at least one of Ca, Zr, and Sr. In other words, A may be Ba, or Ba may contain at least one of Ca, Zr, and Sr. Further, B may include Ti or Ti and at least one of Zr and Hf. That is, B may be Ti or Ti and Zr, Ti and Hf, Ti, Zr and Hr.

Herein, 0.1 to 30 moles of Si and Al may be included as a subcomponent with respect to 100 moles of the main component.

More specifically, the content of Si in the subcomponents including Ba, Si and Al may be 1.0 to 1.5 moles per 100 moles of the main component, and the content of Al may be 0.2 to 0.8 moles per 100 moles of the main component. In the case of a low dielectric constant product having an acoustic noise reducing effect according to another embodiment of the present invention, the content of Si and Al in the subcomponents including Ba, Si, and Al may be up to 30 moles with respect to 100 moles of the main component have.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the identification layer 30 may include 0 to 2 moles of Mg and 0 to 0.09 moles of Mn with respect to 100 moles of the main component.

Here, additives such as Mg and Mn can have a shrinkage similar to that of the other dielectric layers 50, thereby reducing the occurrence of cracks or delaminations due to differences in composition with other dielectric layers 50. [

If it contains a subcomponent including Si and Al in the base metal powder of BaTiO _3, and calcining the ceramic green sheet, the Mg or Mn as an additive prepared by the addition of a very small amount at a temperature of 1150 ℃, the sintered ceramic green sheet is white lines Color. ≪ / RTI >

Particularly, the amount of Mg and Mn can be reduced so that the color of the white system can be better displayed. In the identification layer 30, the content of Mg and Mn may be less than 0.001 mole, respectively, with respect to 100 mole of the main component .

A typical ceramic green sheet having no subcomponent and additive composition like the embodiment of the present invention has a dark brown color after firing. The identification layer 30 of the white system may be distinguished from the color of the active layer 60 or the color of the upper cover layer 53 having a dark brown color after firing. That is, the color of the identification layer 30 may be brighter than the color of the active layer 60 or the upper cover layer 53.

This difference in color plays an important role in reducing the acoustic noise by allowing the lower cover layer 55 to be mounted adjacent to the upper surface of the printed circuit board.

The identification layer 30 may include at least one additive selected from among at least one selected from Ca and Zr in an amount of 1 mole or less based on 100 moles of the main component, and 0.2 mole or less of K, B, and Li. Here, these additives are colorless additives and can contribute to glass formation.

Table 1 below shows an example in which an identification layer is formed on the lower cover layer and the lower cover layer 55 is mounted adjacent to the upper surface of the printed circuit board while adjusting the thickness of the identification layer.

The total thickness (mu m) of the lower cover layer Thickness of the identification layer (탆) Identification layer thickness / total thickness of lower cover layer (%) Defect ratio of upper / lower discrimination (%)

It is determined that the case where the lower cover layer 55 is not mounted adjacent to the printed circuit board according to the thickness of the identification layer 30 is bad. Referring to Table 1, the thickness of the identification layer 30 is at least 30 탆 or more So that it is possible to recognize clearly from the outside.

Referring to Fig. 3, the multilayer chip capacitor of this embodiment can be more clearly defined.

First, a half of the total thickness of the ceramic body is defined as A, a thickness of the lower cover layer is defined as B, a half of the total thickness of the active layer is defined as C, and a thickness of the upper cover layer is defined as D can do.

The total thickness of the ceramic body 12 does not include the thickness of the external electrode 40 formed by being applied to the upper surface S _T and the lower surface S _B of the ceramic body. In this embodiment, A is defined as 1/2 of the upper surface (S _T ) and the lower surface (S _B ) of the ceramic body (12).

The thickness B of the lower cover layer 55 is defined as the distance from the lower surface of the internal electrode formed at the lowermost portion of the active layer 60 in the thickness direction to the lower surface S _B of the ceramic body 12. The thickness D of the upper cover layer 53 is defined as the distance from the upper surface of the internal electrode formed at the uppermost portion in the thickness direction of the active layer 60 to the upper surface S _T of the ceramic body 12.

Here, the total thickness of the active layer 60 refers to the distance from the top surface of the internal electrode formed on the top of the active layer 60 to the bottom surface of the internal electrode formed on the lowermost portion of the active layer 60. C defines 1/2 of the active layer 60.

In the present embodiment, the thickness D of the upper cover layer 53 can satisfy the range of D? 4 占 퐉. D is may result in the poor internal electrodes is smaller than 4㎛ exposed to the upper surface (S _T) of the ceramic body 12.

In the present embodiment, the ratio of the central portion of the active layer 60 to the central portion of the ceramic body 12, (B + C) / A satisfies the range of 1.063? (B + C) /A? .

The center of the active layer 60 is located at a midpoint of the distance from the top surface of the internal electrode formed on the top of the active layer 60 to the bottom surface of the internal electrode formed on the lowermost portion of the active layer 60, Can be defined within the range of 1 mu m from the center line (CL _A ) to the top and bottom.

The central portion of the ceramic body 12 is arranged in a range of 1 mu m from the center line CLc of the ceramic body, which is an intermediate point between the upper surface S _T and the lower surface S _B of the ceramic body 12, Can be defined.

When a voltage having a different polarity is applied to the first and second external electrodes 42 and 44 formed at both ends of the multilayer chip capacitor 10, the inverse piezoelectric effect of the dielectric layer 50 causes the ceramic body The first and second external electrodes 42 and 44 are expanded and contracted in the thickness direction and the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first and second external electrodes 42 and 44 are expanded in the thickness direction of the ceramic body 12 by the Poisson effect Contrary to contraction, contraction and expansion are caused.

Here, the central portion of the active layer 60 is the portion that expands and contracts most at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first and second outer electrodes 42 and 44, and becomes a factor that causes acoustic noise.

In this embodiment, the ratio of the center portion of the active layer 60 to the center portion of the ceramic body 12 is defined to reduce the acoustic noise.

The thickness of the ceramic body 12 in the thickness direction of the ceramic body 12 may vary depending on the difference between the deformation rate generated in the central portion of the active layer 60 and the deformation rate generated in the lower cover layer 55, An inflection point may be formed at both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the ceramic body 12 below the central portion.

The ratio D / B of the thickness D of the upper cover layer 53 to the thickness B of the lower cover layer 55 is 0.021 D / B ≤ 0.422 in order to reduce the acoustic noise. Range can be satisfied.

Here, the central portion of the active layer 60 is a portion which is expanded and contracted to the maximum at the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first and second external electrodes 42 and 44 by the application of the voltage.

7 shows a portion where both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the multilayer chip capacitor 10 are maximally expanded. When both ends in the longitudinal direction of the multilayer chip capacitor 10 are expanded to the maximum, the upper portions of the soldering 142, And the lower part of the soldering parts 142 and 144 is contracted by the force exerted to the outside due to expansion.

This can cause a point of inflection (PI) below the height of soldering.

5, the distance between the first electrode pad 122 and the second electrode pad 124 in the longitudinal direction is L1, and the distance between the first external electrode 42 and the second external electrode 42 of the multilayer chip capacitor 10 And the distance between the outer surface in the longitudinal direction of the outer electrode 44 is defined as L2. The distance between the first electrode pad 122 and the second electrode pad 124 in the width direction is W1 and the distance between the first external electrode 42 and the second external electrode 42 of the multilayer chip capacitor 10 44 between the outer surfaces in the width direction is defined as W2.

8A is a graph showing acoustic noise changes with respect to the electrode pad size when the internal electrodes of the conventional multilayer chip capacitor are vertically mounted on the printed circuit board and horizontally mounted.

8A, when the size of the electrode pad, that is, L1 / L2 is reduced to 1.34 and 1.17 or less, the acoustic noise is reduced when the internal electrodes of the multilayer chip capacitor are horizontally mounted on the printed circuit board have. However, when the internal electrodes of the multilayer chip capacitor are vertically mounted on the printed circuit board, it can be seen that the acoustic noise is not much reduced.

That is, the size of the electrode pad has a different tendency to reduce acoustic noise depending on whether the internal electrodes of the multilayer chip capacitor are mounted horizontally on the printed circuit board or mounted vertically.

FIG. 8B is a graph showing the relationship between the acoustic noise on the electrode pad size and the capacitance of the electrode pad when the multilayer chip capacitor is mounted on the printed circuit board such that the internal electrode, which is an embodiment of the present invention, And a graph showing the state of change in comparison with the prior art.

8B, even when the internal electrodes of the multilayer chip capacitor are mounted on the printed circuit board horizontally, the magnitude of the acoustic noise varies depending on the thickness of the lower cover or the upper cover. Thus, it can be seen that further parameters are required to further reduce the acoustic noise.

According to embodiments of the present invention, the range of the degree that the center portion of the active layer deviates from the center portion of the multilayer chip capacitor, the ratio between the upper cover layer and the lower cover layer, the ratio of the lower cover layer to the thickness of the ceramic body, The acoustic noise can be further reduced by adjusting the ratio of the lower cover layer to the thickness of the layer.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the central portion of the active layer 60 to the central portion of the ceramic body 12, (B + C) / A is in the range of 1.063? (B + C) /A? The acoustic noise is sufficiently reduced even when the amount of the solder is small because the electrode pad is small and the acoustic noise is reduced even more when the electrode pad is large.

That is, when the ratio of the central portion of the active layer 60 to the central portion of the ceramic body 12 and (B + C) / A satisfy the range of 1.063? (B + C) /A? The acoustic noise can be remarkably reduced regardless of the size. Where A is 1/2 of the total thickness of the ceramic body, B is the thickness of the lower cover layer, C is 1/2 of the total thickness of the active layer, and D is the thickness of the upper cover layer.

When the ratio of the central portion of the active layer 60 to the central portion of the ceramic body 12 and (B + C) / A satisfies the range of 1.063? (B + C) /A? 1.745, Since the displacement becomes the upper portion of the center of the ceramic body 12 as the center of the active layer 60, the amount of displacement transmitted to the printed circuit board 120 through the solder is reduced, and the acoustic noise is reduced.

Experimental Example

The multilayer ceramic capacitor according to the embodiment and the comparative example of the present invention was produced as follows.

A slurry including a powder such as barium titanate (BaTiO ₃ ) is coated on a carrier film and dried to prepare a plurality of ceramic green sheets having a thickness of 1.8 탆.

Next, a conductive paste for a nickel internal electrode is coated on the ceramic green sheet using a screen to form an internal electrode.

The ceramic green sheets without the internal electrodes were stacked in the lower part of the ceramic green sheet having the internal electrodes formed thereon in a thickness of about 370 layers. This laminate was isostatically pressed at 85 DEG C under a pressure of 1000 kgf / cm < ² >. The pressed ceramic laminate was cut into individual chips, and the cut chips were maintained at 230 DEG C for 60 hours in an atmospheric environment to carry out the binder removal.

Then, at 1200 ° C, the internal electrodes were fired in a reducing atmosphere under an oxygen partial pressure of 10 ^-11 atm to 10 ^-10 atm, which is lower than the Ni / NiO equilibrium oxygen partial pressure. The chip size of the multilayer chip capacitor after firing had a length x width (L x W) of about 1.64 mm x 0.88 mm (L x W, 1608 size). Here, the manufacturing tolerance was set within the range of ± 0.1 mm in length × width (L × W), and if it was satisfied, the acoustic noise measurement was performed for the experiment.

Next, a multilayer ceramic capacitor was manufactured through an external electrode, a plating process, and the like.

* Is a comparative example

The data of Table 2 is obtained by cutting the cross section of the multilayer chip capacitor 10 in the longitudinal direction L and the thickness direction T at the central portion of the width direction W of the ceramic body 12, Each dimension was measured based on a photograph taken with a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope).

As described above, A, B, C, and D are set so that a half of the total thickness of the ceramic body is A, a thickness of the lower cover layer is B, and a half of the total thickness of the active layer C, and the thickness of the upper cover layer is defined as D.

In order to measure acoustic noise, one sample (multilayer chip capacitor) per acoustic noise measurement board was divided into upper and lower parts and mounted on a printed circuit board, and the board was attached to a measuring jig. DC voltage and voltage fluctuations were applied to both terminals of the sample mounted on the measurement jig using a DC power supply and a function generator. Acoustic noise was measured through a microphone installed just above the printed circuit board.

In Table 2, Samples 1 to 3 are comparative examples having a cover symmetrical structure in which the thickness (B) of the lower cover layer and the thickness (D) of the upper cover layer are similar to each other. Samples 4 to 13 show the thickness (D) is thicker than the thickness (B) of the lower cover layer. Samples 14, 15 and 35 to 37 are comparative examples in which the thickness (B) of the lower cover layer is thicker than the thickness (D) of the upper cover layer. Samples 16 to 34 are examples according to the present invention.

In embodiments of the present invention, the thickness D of the upper cover layer 53 may satisfy a range of D? 4 占 퐉. D is may result in the poor internal electrodes is smaller than 4㎛ exposed to the upper surface (S _T) of the ceramic body 12.

When the value of (B + C) / A is substantially 1, it means that the center portion of the active layer does not deviate greatly from the center portion of the ceramic body. (B + C) / A value of the samples 1 to 3 having a cover symmetric structure almost similar to the thickness (B) of the lower cover layer and the thickness (D)

If the value of (B + C) / A is greater than 1, it means that the central part of the active layer deviates upward from the center of the ceramic body. If the value of (B + C) / A is less than 1, It can mean that the central portion deviates downward from the central portion of the ceramic body.

Samples 16 to 34, which are embodiments in which the center portion of the active layer deviates from the central portion of the ceramic body and (B + C) / A satisfies the range of 1.063? (B + C) /A? Is significantly reduced to less than 20 dB.

Samples 1 to 15 in which the center portion of the active layer deviates from the central portion of the ceramic body and the ratio (B + C) / A is less than 1.063 is that the center portion of the active layer is not substantially deviated from the center portion of the ceramic body, Has a structure in which the central portion of the ceramic body is deviated downward from the central portion of the ceramic body. (B + C) / A is less than 1.063, the acoustic noise is from 25dB to 32.5dB, indicating that the acoustic noise reduction effect is not obtained.

When the ratio of the central portion of the active layer to the central portion of the ceramic body, (B + C) / A exceeds 1.745, in the case of Samples 35 to 37, the capacitance with respect to the target capacity was low and the capacity failure occurred. In Table 1, when the capacity implementation rate (that is, the ratio of the capacitance to the target capacity) is "NG", it means that the target capacitance value is less than 80% when the target capacity value is 100%.

In addition, in the embodiments in which the ratio (D / B) of the thickness D of the upper cover layer to the thickness B of the lower cover layer satisfies the range of 0.021 D / B? 0.422, the acoustic noise is remarkably reduced .

It can be seen that the comparative examples in which the ratio (D / B) of the thickness D of the upper cover layer to the thickness B of the lower cover layer exceed 0.422 have no acoustic noise reduction effect. When the ratio (D / B) of the thickness D of the upper cover layer to the thickness B of the lower cover layer is less than 0.021, the thickness B of the lower cover layer is smaller than the thickness D of the upper cover layer It may be too large to cause cracking or delamination, or the capacity may be low due to the low capacitance to the target capacity.

The ratio (B / A) of the thickness (B) of the lower cover layer to the thickness (A) of the ceramic body and the thickness (C) of the active layer with respect to the thickness (B) It can be seen that the samples 19 to 34, which are examples in which the ratio (C / B) satisfies the range of 0.329 B / A? 1.522 and 0.146 C / B? 2.458, respectively, is further reduced with the acoustic noise of less than 18 dB.

Wherein the ratio B / A of the thickness B of the lower cover layer to the thickness A of the ceramic body exceeds 1.522 or the ratio B / A of the thickness of the active layer to the thickness B of the lower cover layer In the case of Samples 35 to 37 in which the ratio (C / B) is less than 0.146, the capacitance with respect to the target capacity is low and a capacity failure occurs.
