Abstract

Abstract A ceramic capacitor with at least one semiconductor device mount hole, comprising a metal substrate and a dielectric ceramic layer provided with electrode layer on its surfaces and mounted on the substrate. At least the lateral surface of the mount hole in the electrode layer bound to the substrate is covered with an insulating material. The ceramic capacitors have good thermal conductivity and adapted to be used with semiconductor devices designed for power applications.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A ceramic capacitor comprising a substrate, a dielectric ceramic layer provided with electrode layers on both of its surfaces, said ceramic layer being disposed on said substrate and joined at one of its electrode layers with said substrate to form a capacitor, and at least one mount hole passing through the capacitor and defining at least one hole in the electrode layer disposed between said substrate and said ceramic layer which has a diameter which is larger than that of the mount hole but which is concentric with said mount hole, the space formed between said mount hole and the hole of said electrode layer containing an insulating material to prevent a short circuit between electrode layers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A ceramic capacitor comprising a substrate, a dielectric ceramic layer provided with electrode layers on both of its surfaces, said ceramic layer being disposed on said substrate and joined at one of its electrode layers with said substrate to form a capacitor, and at least one mount hole passing through the capacitor and defining at least one hole in the electrode layer disposed between said substrate and said ceramic layer which has a diameter which is larger than that of the mount hole but which is concentric with said mount hole, the space formed between said mount hole and the hole of said electrode layer containing an insulating material to prevent a short circuit between electrode layers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 66 words
