Abstract
Abstract A ceramic multi-layer capacitor which uses specifically formulated electrode inks comprising a mixture of thermoplastic vehicles in combination with finely divided metal powders. The resultant thermoplastic electrode ink can be screen printed onto dielectric ware and immediately laminated, without a drying step. Multi-layer designs may be 50 or more layers wherein the thermoplastic components volatize at an appropriate time/temperature schedule to prevent slumping or delamination and to be chemically compatible with the organic binder components in the dielectric ware.
