MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242889 titled 'MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR

The abstract describes a multilayer ceramic capacitor with specific characteristics in the outer layer portions of the multilayer body.

The difference in RGB values between the main-surface-side outer layer portions and side-surface-side outer layer portions is between about 45 and 100%.
A monotectoid phase, containing at least one of Ca and Si, is present in the side-surface-side outer layer portions in a specific percentage of the total area.
The region where the monotectoid phase is present does not exceed about 3% of the total area of the side-surface-side outer layer portions.

Potential Applications: - Electronics manufacturing - Capacitor production - Circuit board assembly

Problems Solved: - Improved color tone reproduction - Enhanced performance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor - Better quality control in manufacturing processes

Benefits: - Consistent color tone reproduction - Increased capacitor efficiency - Higher reliability in electronic devices

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor for Electronics Manufacturing" This technology can be used in the production of various electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, and automotive electronics. It can also benefit manufacturers looking to improve the quality and performance of their products.

Questions about Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors: 1. How does the presence of a monotectoid phase impact the performance of the capacitor? The monotectoid phase can enhance the properties of the capacitor, such as stability and efficiency, by providing specific characteristics in the outer layer portions.

2. What are the key differences between traditional ceramic capacitors and the multilayer ceramic capacitor described in the abstract? The multilayer ceramic capacitor in the abstract has specific RGB value differences and the presence of a monotectoid phase, which are not commonly found in traditional ceramic capacitors.

Original Abstract Submitted

a multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers. a difference between an rgb value which reproduces a color tone of ends in a width direction y of a first and second main-surface-side outer layer portions of the multilayer body and an rgb value which reproduces a color tone of ends in the width direction of a first and second side-surface-side outer layer portions is not smaller than about 45 and not larger than about 100, a monotectoid phase is provided in the first and second side-surface-side outer layer portions in a wt cross-section, includes at least one of ca and si, and a region where the monotectoid phase is provided is not larger than about 3% of a total area of the first and second side-surface-side outer layer portions in the wt cross-section of the multilayer body.
