SINTERED, ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL, CERAMIC MULTILAYER COMPONENT COMPRISING THIS MATERIAL, AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a sintered, electrically conductive material, which is made from a starting mixture containing a powdery metallic starting constituent and an organic starting constituent. After sintering, the organic starting constituent (21) encloses the powder particles (20, 20') of the metallic starting constituent in the form of a layer (21') that is at least largely carbonized into carbon. The invention also relates to a ceramic multilayer component (5), especially a piezo actuator, and to a method for the production thereof. The multilayer component (5) comprises a plurality of ceramic insulating layers (11'), which are arranged one above the other and which are separated from one another at least in areas by means of inner electrode layers (10') that are made of the electrically conductive material. The inventive method involves the preparation of the starting mixture, the preparation of a plurality of laminatable ceramic green films (11), an at least one side flat application of the starting mixture to the surface of the ceramic green films (11), the stacking of the ceramic green films (11), which are provided with the starting mixture, to form a multilayer green body, the releasing of the multilayer green body and the sintering of the multilayer green body to form the ceramic multilayer component (5).
