Abstract

Abstract Plural number of thermo-plastic organic films having ceramic green layer(s) and a layer to become electrode thereon are laminated, thereby to form laminated body, which is hot-pressed to impregnate the organic film substance into the ceramic green layers and into layers to become electrodes, and then is fired; thereby, the ceramic layers are formed very thin, thereby producing a capacitor of large capacitance per volume.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 214 words
Method for making a multilayer ceramic body comprising the step of: (a) forming at least a ceramic green layer on an organic films having thermo-plasticity for supporting only the ceramic green layer, (b) printing at least one layer to become an electrode layer of a predetermined pattern on a surface opposite to the surface on which said ceramic green layer is formed, (c) laminating a plurality of additional organic films similar to said orgainic film, each of said additional organic films having associated therewith another of said ceramic green layers thereon and another of said printed layers to form an electrode, to produce a laminated body, each of said printed layers being disposed between adjacent ceramic green layers in said laminated body, (d) hot-pressing said laminated body, thereby melting the organic films to impregnate the melted organic films into said adjacent ceramic green layers and said printed layers to become an electrode thereby directly bonding said ceramic green layers to the adjacent layers to become the electrodes, said hot-pressing being conducted at a temperature of at most 50° C. below the melting point of said organic film, and (e) sintering the laminated body thereby making a multilayer ceramic body having a plurality of electrode layers disposed parallel to each other with predetermined gaps inbetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 214 words
Method for making a multilayer ceramic body comprising the step of: (a) forming at least a ceramic green layer on an organic films having thermo-plasticity for supporting only the ceramic green layer, (b) printing at least one layer to become an electrode layer of a predetermined pattern on a surface opposite to the surface on which said ceramic green layer is formed, (c) laminating a plurality of additional organic films similar to said orgainic film, each of said additional organic films having associated therewith another of said ceramic green layers thereon and another of said printed layers to form an electrode, to produce a laminated body, each of said printed layers being disposed between adjacent ceramic green layers in said laminated body, (d) hot-pressing said laminated body, thereby melting the organic films to impregnate the melted organic films into said adjacent ceramic green layers and said printed layers to become an electrode thereby directly bonding said ceramic green layers to the adjacent layers to become the electrodes, said hot-pressing being conducted at a temperature of at most 50° C. below the melting point of said organic film, and (e) sintering the laminated body thereby making a multilayer ceramic body having a plurality of electrode layers disposed parallel to each other with predetermined gaps inbetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the thickness of said organic film is within the range of 0.5 μm through of 10 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 212 words
Method for making a multilayer ceramic body comprising the steps of: (a) forming a ceramic green layer on one surface of an organic film having thermo-plasticity for supporting only the ceramic green layer, (b) printing at least one layer to become an electrode layer of a predetermined pattern on the opposite surface of said organic film, (c) laminating a plurality of said organic films having said ceramic green layer and said layers to become an electrode to produce a laminated body together in alternating layers in a manner such that each of said printed layer to become an electrode are disposed between adjacent ceramic green layers in said laminated body, (d) hot-pressing said laminated body, thereby melting the organic films to impregnate the melted organic films into the ceramic green layers on the layers to become an electrode thereby directly bonding said ceramic green layers to the adjacent layers to become the electrodes, said hot-pressing being conducted at a temperature of at most 50° C. below the melting point of said organic film up to 100° C. above the melting point of said organic film, and (e) sintering the laminated body thereby making a multilayer ceramic body having a plurality of electrode layers disposed parallel to each other with predetermined gaps inbetween.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 212 words
Method for making a multilayer ceramic body comprising the steps of: (a) forming a ceramic green layer on one surface of an organic film having thermo-plasticity for supporting only the ceramic green layer, (b) printing at least one layer to become an electrode layer of a predetermined pattern on the opposite surface of said organic film, (c) laminating a plurality of said organic films having said ceramic green layer and said layers to become an electrode to produce a laminated body together in alternating layers in a manner such that each of said printed layer to become an electrode are disposed between adjacent ceramic green layers in said laminated body, (d) hot-pressing said laminated body, thereby melting the organic films to impregnate the melted organic films into the ceramic green layers on the layers to become an electrode thereby directly bonding said ceramic green layers to the adjacent layers to become the electrodes, said hot-pressing being conducted at a temperature of at most 50° C. below the melting point of said organic film up to 100° C. above the melting point of said organic film, and (e) sintering the laminated body thereby making a multilayer ceramic body having a plurality of electrode layers disposed parallel to each other with predetermined gaps inbetween.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
