Abstract
The thin film of copper, chromium and titanium as end-termination studies were performed on multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) based on BaTiO3 ceramic with nickel internal electrodes. A green sheet was prepared by tape casting using the X7R/BME powders. Nickel paste was attached to the green sheet as an internal electrode. After lamination, the green chips were sintered at 1300 °C for 2 h, then the external electrodes were sputtered as thin films for end-termination. There is no extra curing process, so that thermal shock of the MLCCs is reduced. To improve the adhesion between thin film end-termination and dielectric body, chromium and titanium were applied as media in this study. The mechanical and electrical properties of the MLCCs were investigated subsequently. The results showed that end-termination with chromium/copper has good performances on electrical and mechanical properties of MLCC, compared to conventional end-termination.
