Abstract
Abstract A method and composition for forming electrically conductive termination films on ceramic capacitor bodies having improved adhesion and solder leach resistance wherein a mixture of a palladium resinate and a base metal resinate or oxide is deposited on the opposite end faces of the capacitor body. The deposit is fired at 700° - 1100°C to pyrolyze the resinate moiety of the metal resinates, whereby palladium and base metal oxide residues are formed on the end faces of the capacitor. The residues catalyze the depositon of nickel from nickel plating baths to prepare solder leach resistant end faces.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of providing a conductive termination film on a ceramic capacitor substrate comprising the steps of: (a) applying to the surface of the ceramic substrate a composition comprised of a metal resinate mixture of a palladium resinate and a base metal resinate, or oxide and then (b) firing the mixture in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze the organic moiety of the resinates and form on the substrate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of providing a conductive termination film on a ceramic capacitor substrate comprising the steps of: (a) applying to the surface of the ceramic substrate a composition comprised of a metal resinate mixture of a palladium resinate and a base metal resinate, or oxide and then (b) firing the mixture in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze the organic moiety of the resinates and form on the substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method of Claim 1, wherein the composition as applied to the ceramic capacitor substrate contains about 70 to about 85 percent by weight of the palladium resinate and about 15 to about 30 percent by weight of the base metal resinate or oxide.
