HYBRID RC ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a hybrid RC element and to a simple method of manufacturing such an element. The inventive hybrid RC element comprises a capacitor body and a resistor body. Said element is characterized in that it includes a block-shaped, ceramic capacitor body which is provided with a contact layer on two parallel surfaces, and in that a block-shaped, ceramic resistor body is provided on one of said contact layers, the surface of the resistor body facing away from the capacitor body also being provided with a contact layer. The resistor body is preferably made from doped Si. The inventive hybrid RC element is very suitable for applications in which the element is exposed to high voltage pulses (1 kV or more). Unlike the known hybrid RC elements, the element in accordance with the invention is not subject to short-circuits under these conditions.
