Abstract
Abstract A sinterable dielectric ceramic powder composition comprising 95 to 98 parts by weight of a major ingredient consisting of 97.0 to 99.5 mole % barium titanate, 0.5 to 3.0 mole % magnesium oxide or a precursor therefor and 0 to 2.0 mole % manganese oxide or a precursor therefor and 0 to 0.2 mole % cobalt oxide or a precursor therefor; 2 to 5 parts by weight of a minor ingredient consisting of a ternary mixture of 15 to 30 mole % barium oxide or a precursor therefor, 15 to 30 mole % silicon dioxide or a precursor therefor and 40 to 70 mole % calcium titanate, which composition can be fabricated into multilayer ceramic capacitors with nickel, nickel alloy, palladium or palladium/silver alloy inner electrodes, the so formed capacitors having a variation of capacitance with temperature of less than ±20% over the range -55° C. to 140° C. as compared to the value at 25° C. and not containing any second phases after sintering.
