ELECTRONIC COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304363 titled 'ELECTRONIC COMPONENT

The patent application describes an electronic component with a base body, a glass film covering the base body, and an external electrode on the glass film.

• The glass film contains a base portion with silicon oxide and metal oxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals.
• There is a specific portion in the glass film with silicon oxide and metal oxides of the same metal element as in the base portion, but in lower content ratio.

• • Key Features and Innovation:**

• Glass film composition with specific and base portions containing different metal oxides.
• External electrode design with underlayer electrode for enhanced functionality.

• • Potential Applications:**

• Electronic devices requiring durable and efficient components.
• High-tech equipment where stable electrical properties are crucial.

• • Problems Solved:**

• Improved durability and stability of electronic components.
• Enhanced performance in various electronic applications.

• • Benefits:**

• Increased longevity of electronic devices.
• Enhanced electrical conductivity and performance.

• • Commercial Applications:**

Potential commercial applications include:

• Consumer electronics manufacturing.
• Industrial equipment production.

• • Questions about the Technology:**

1. How does the specific portion of the glass film contribute to the overall functionality of the electronic component?

  - The specific portion with lower content ratio of metal oxides helps regulate the electrical properties of the component.

2. What advantages does the underlayer electrode of the external electrode provide?

  - The underlayer electrode enhances the conductivity and stability of the electronic component.

Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic component that includes: a base body; a glass film covering an outer surface of the base body; and an external electrode on an outer surface of the glass film and having at least an underlayer electrode, wherein the glass film includes: a base portion containing silicon oxide and an oxide of one or more metal elements of an alkali metal and an alkaline earth metal; and a specific portion containing silicon oxide and an oxide of a same metal element as that of the base portion, and wherein a content ratio of the same metal element in the specific portion is smaller than a content ratio of the one or more metal elements in the base portion.
