Abstract
Abstract A new ceramic slip and an improved method for forming ceramic films and ceramic capacitors by passing a flat substrate through a falling sheet of the novel ceramic slip so as to receive a thin, uniform film of the ceramic slip. The substrate is either re-passed through said falling sheet one or more times to build up the desired thickness, dried and fired to maturity or the film is dried and alternate electrode-ceramic layers built-up in wellknown capacitor fashion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A ceramic slip concentrate consisting essentially of a mixture having a Brookfield viscosity between 6000 - 15000 cps. of: a. 70 to 95 percent by weight of a powdered inorganic dielectric material selected from the group consisting of a titanate, a zirconate, a niobate, alumIna, porcelain and a ferrite; b. 10-30 percent by weight of a nonaqueous vehicle selected from the group consisting of xylene, amyl acetate and mixtures thereof; and c. a dispersing proportion of 0.2-3 percent by weight of a dispersing agent selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycols, lecithin, polyoxyethylene isooctylphenyl ether, and polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether; said mixture having been milled to a fineness of grind of from 0-20 microns as measured on a fineness of grind gage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A ceramic slip concentrate consisting essentially of a mixture having a Brookfield viscosity between 6000 - 15000 cps. of: a. 70 to 95 percent by weight of a powdered inorganic dielectric material selected from the group consisting of a titanate, a zirconate, a niobate, alumIna, porcelain and a ferrite; b. 10-30 percent by weight of a nonaqueous vehicle selected from the group consisting of xylene, amyl acetate and mixtures thereof; and c. a dispersing proportion of 0.2-3 percent by weight of a dispersing agent selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycols, lecithin, polyoxyethylene isooctylphenyl ether, and polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether; said mixture having been milled to a fineness of grind of from 0-20 microns as measured on a fineness of grind gage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
