Abstract
Abstract Monolithic capacitors having Q's of 3500 include copper electrodes buried in a non-reducible body that consists of a crystalline magnesium titanate phase and an intergranular glass phase. The crystalline phase contains magnesium meta-titanate and/or ortho-titanate. Magnesium di-titanate is excluded from the body as are the oxides of lead, bismuth and cadmium, which materials are reducible at the firing conditions necessary to preserve the integrity of the copper electrodes.
