Method of producing a monolithic ceramic capacitor

摘要

A monolithic ceramic capacitor includes a plurality of dielectric ceramic layers, a plurality of inner electrodes formed between the dielectric ceramic layers in such a manner that one end of each inner electrode is exposed out of either end of the dielectric ceramic layers, and outer electrodes electrically connected with the exposed inner electrodes; in which the inner electrodes each are made of a base metal, and Si oxide layers or layers comprising an Si oxide and at lest one component that constitutes said dielectric ceramic layers and said inner electrodes are formed adjacent to the inner electrodes. The capacitor has excellent thermal impact resistance and wet load resistance characteristics. A producing method includes firing a green sheet laminate including a metal inner electrode at an oxygen partial pressure of about said equilibrium oxygen partial pressure of the metal to the metal oxide.
