Possible Prior Art
One example of prior art in this field is the use of multilayer ceramic capacitors with similar internal electrode and dielectric layer configurations. However, the specific design with margin regions of different crystal grain sizes may be a novel feature in this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the crystal grain size affect the performance of the capacitor?
The abstract mentions that the crystal grain size in the margin regions varies, but it does not explain how this difference impacts the overall performance or characteristics of the capacitor.
Are there any specific manufacturing processes involved in creating the margin regions with different crystal grain sizes?
It is not clear from the abstract how the margin regions with varying crystal grain sizes are achieved in the manufacturing process of the multilayer ceramic capacitor.
Original Abstract Submitted
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a body including a capacitance region in which at least one first internal electrode and at least one second internal electrode are alternately stacked in a first direction with at least one dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and first and second external electrodes disposed on the body to be spaced apart from each other with the capacitance region interposed therebetween in a second direction, different from the first direction, and respectively connected to the at least one first internal electrode and the at least one second internal electrode, wherein the body further includes a plurality of margin regions disposed with the capacitance region interposed therebetween in a third direction, different from the first and second directions, wherein each of the plurality of margin regions includes a second margin region and a first margin region disposed between the second margin region and the capacitance region, and wherein a size of a crystal grain in the second margin region is larger than a size of a crystal grain in the first margin region.
