Problems solved by technology

[0004] The known PTC elements also have the disadvantage that aluminum tends to penetrate into the ceramic at high sintering temperatures of over 1000° C. and will affect the desired properties of the PTC ceramic
[0006] The disadvantage of these known elements is that silver and palladium are relatively expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0048] Figure 1 shows a component in a perspective view. It is made by sintering a stack of overlapping green and electrode layers. For this purpose, an electrode paste is applied to the areas of a green film surface intended for electrodes. Suitable methods for this are a series of, in particular thick-coating methods and preferably printing, for example by means of screen printing. At least at the edges of the green film or only at the corners of the green film, there remains a surface area which is not covered by the electrode paste. It is also possible to coat the electrodes not in planar layers but to structure them, if necessary in an intermittent pattern.

[0049] The screen printing paste has, for example, metal particles comprising metallic tungsten or tungsten compounds for producing the desired electrical conductivity and optionally also ceramic particles which can be sintered and for adapting the fading properties of the electrode paste to the fading properties o...

Abstract

The invention relates to a multilayer electrical component having a multilayer body (1) with overlapping dielectric layers (2) containing a ceramic material and between the dielectric layers electrically conductive electrode layers (3), wherein at least one electrode layer (3) contains a matrix (4), which is covered by a protective layer (3), the matrix (4) containing a metal, the protective layer (4) 5) Contains a protective material that retards oxidation of the metal. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the element, in which the sintering process can be carried out at high temperatures. By means of the invention presented, it is possible to produce ceramic multilayer components with cost-effective electrodes and simplified manufacturing processes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multilayer electrical component, which has a multilayer body with dielectric layers arranged one above the other and comprising a ceramic material, and electrically conductive electrode layers located between them. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the multilayer component. Background technique [0002] A component of the aforementioned type is known from document DE 19719174 A1, in which the electrical resistance of the dielectric layer has a positive temperature coefficient and the electrode layers are made of aluminum. In order to manufacture such a multilayer positive temperature coefficient thermistor, it is necessary to use a base metal as the electrode layer, because only such a metal can form a layer on its surface that is necessary for the function of the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element. Oxide layer, which is necessary for the breakdown of the barrier layer between the electrode ...
