Electrode paste for thin nickel electrodes in multilayer ceramic capacitors and finished capacitor containing same

摘要

A method for forming a capacitor and capacitor formed thereby. The method comprises a) forming a capacitor precursor with green ceramic layers separated by conductive precursor layers wherein the conductive precursor layers have 30-80 wt % nickel precursor; up to 20 wt % grain growth inhibitor and 20-70 wt % organic vehicle; and b) heating the capacitor precursor to convert the green ceramic layers to ceramic dielectric layers and the conductive precursor layers to conductive layers.
