BME-Y5V Materials Prepared by Solid State Technology

摘要

In the field of Y5V multilayer capacitors the production share of parts with base metal electrodes (BME) has been increased tremendously since their first introduction ca. 10 years ago. There are projections that in 5 years the market for Y5V MLCs using noble metal electrodes will be negligible. dmc Electronic Materials has more than 7 years experience in industrial production of mixed oxide based BME-Y5V powders and was the first company to offer ready to use formulations to the MLC makers. In this paper we are going to describe the properties of dielectric powders for BME-Y5V MLCs for different dielectric layer thickness applications. Especially in order to allow the production of thinner dielectric layers to obtain higher volume capacities a new dielectric material will be presented that is in the final stages of development and will soon be released for evaluation at customers.
