MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240282532 titled 'MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR

The abstract describes a multilayer ceramic capacitor with a unique structure involving internal electrode layers and a dielectric ceramic layer within a laminate.

The capacitor includes a central layer portion with internal electrode layers and a dielectric ceramic layer, a peripheral layer portion, and a side margin.
The boundary between the peripheral layer portion and the side margin is curved from an imaginary line passing through a point on the internal electrode layer closest to the main surface of the laminate.
This design likely enhances the performance and efficiency of the capacitor by optimizing the distribution of electrical charge and minimizing interference.

Original Abstract Submitted

a multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a laminate and an external electrode. the laminate includes a central layer portion in which first and second internal electrode layers are alternately laminated with a dielectric ceramic layer therebetween, a peripheral layer portion sandwiching the central layer portion in the lamination direction, and a side margin sandwiching the central layer portion and the peripheral layer portion in the width direction. when a point p indicates an end in the width direction of the internal electrode layer closest to a main surface of the laminate, and a point q indicates a point where a boundary between the peripheral layer portion including the point p and the side margin including the point p intersects the main surface, and an imaginary line il is drawn to pass through the point p and the point q, the boundary is curved from the imaginary line il.
