[0029] A multilayer ceramic electronic component according to the inventive concept will be discussed with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a capacitor body of a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 2 , the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 may be a multilayer ceramic capacitor. The multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 may include a capacitor body 100, a first external electrode 150a, and a second external electrode 150b.

[0032]

[0032] The capacitor body 100 may be a regular polygon when viewed in a plane. Hereinafter, the shape of the capacitor body 100 will be described in detail using an embodiment of the capacitor body 100. The capacitor body 100 may have a first side surface 100s1 facing each other in a first direction D1, a second side surface 100s2 facing each other in a second direction D2, a third side surface 100s3 facing each other in a third direction D3, and a fourth side surface 100s4 facing each other in a fourth direction D4.

[0033]

[0033] The first direction D1, the second direction D2, the third direction D3, and the fourth direction D4 may be horizontal directions. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 may be orthogonal to each other. The third direction D3 and the fourth direction D4 may be orthogonal to each other. The third direction D3 and the fourth direction D4 may intersect the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The third direction D3 and the fourth direction D4 may form an angle of about 45 degrees with the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

[0034]

[0034] The first side surface 100s1, the second side surface 100s2, the third side surface 100s3, and the fourth side surface 100s4 may have the same width in the horizontal direction. For example, when viewed in a plane, the capacitor body 100 may have a regular octagon. The capacitor body 100 may have a top surface 100U and a bottom surface 100L facing each other in a fifth direction D5. The fifth direction D5 may be perpendicular to the first direction D1, the second direction D2, the third direction D3, and the fourth direction D4. For example, the capacitor body 100 may have an octagonal prism (e.g., a prism) shape.

[0035] The first external electrode 150a can be correspondingly disposed on the first side surface 100s1 and the second side surface 100s2 of the capacitor body 100. The first external electrode 150a can cover some portions of the first side surface 100s1 and some portions of the second side surface 100s2. The first external electrode 150a can extend to the top surface 100U and the bottom surface 100L of the capacitor body 100 to cover some portions of the top surface 100U and some portions of the bottom surface 100L. The first external electrode 150a can surround the upper end portion of the capacitor body 100 formed between the top surface 100U and the first side surface 100s1 or the second side surface 100s2, and can also surround the lower end portion of the capacitor body 100 formed between the bottom surface 100L and the first side surface 100s1 or the second side surface 100s2 (i.e., each of the first external electrodes 150a can extend around the edge between the top surface 100U and the corresponding one of the plurality of first side surfaces; and each of the first external electrodes 150a can extend around the edge between the bottom surface 100L and the corresponding one of the plurality of first side surfaces).

[0036] The second external electrode 150b can be correspondingly disposed on the third side surface 100s3 and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100. The second external electrode 150b can cover some portions of the third side surface 100s3 and some portions of the fourth side surface 100s4. The second external electrode 150b can extend to the top surface 100U and the bottom surface 100L of the capacitor body 100 to cover some portions of the top surface 100U and some portions of the bottom surface 100L. The second external electrode 150b can surround the upper end portion of the capacitor body 100 formed between the top surface 100U and the third side surface 100s3 or the fourth side surface 100s4, and can also surround the lower end portion of the capacitor body 100 formed between the bottom surface 100L and the third side surface 100s3 or the fourth side surface 100s4 (i.e., each of the second external electrodes 150b can extend around the edge between the top surface 100U and the corresponding one of the plurality of third side surfaces and the fourth side surfaces; and each of the second external electrodes 150b can extend around the edge between the bottom surface 100L and the corresponding one of the plurality of third side surfaces and the fourth side surfaces).

[0037] The first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b can include a conductive material. For example, the first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b can include nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), palladium (Pd), or any alloy thereof.

[0038] The capacitor body 100 may include internal electrodes 120a and 120b and a dielectric layer 110 interposed between the internal electrodes 120a and 120b. The internal electrodes 120a and 120b and the dielectric layer 110 may be alternately stacked, for example, along a fifth direction D5. The internal electrodes 120a and 120b may include a first internal electrode 120a and a second internal electrode 120b alternately stacked on the lowermost one of the dielectric layer 110. The lowermost one of the dielectric layer 110 may cover the uppermost one of the internal electrodes 120a and 120b. The dielectric layer 110 may include a ceramic material having a high dielectric constant. For example, the dielectric layer 110 may include barium titanate (BaTiO3) or strontium titanate (SrTiO3). The internal electrodes 120a and 120b may include a conductive material. For example, the internal electrodes 120a and 120b may include nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), palladium (Pd), or any alloy thereof.

[0039] Figure 3 A plan view showing a first internal electrode 120a of a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept is shown. Figure 4 A plan view showing a second internal electrode 120b of a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept is shown. Figure 5 A plan view of a first internal electrode 120a and a second internal electrode 120b in a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept is shown, which shows a first internal electrode and a second internal electrode overlapping each other.

[0040] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 , each of the first internal electrodes 120a may include a first main portion 130a, a plurality of first protruding portions 140a1 extending from the first main portion 130a, and a plurality of second protruding portions 140a2 extending from the first main portion 130a.

[0041] The first main portion 130a may have a planar shape corresponding to the planar shape of the capacitor body 100. For example, when viewed in a plane, the first main portion 130a may have a regular octagon. The first main portion 130a may have side surfaces facing a first direction D1, a second direction D2, a third direction D3, and a fourth direction D4. The planar shape of the first main portion 130a may be smaller than the planar shape of the capacitor body 100. For example, the width of the first main portion 130a in a horizontal direction may be smaller than the width of the capacitor body 100 in the horizontal direction.

[0042] When viewed in a plane, the first main portion 130a may be located on the central portion of the capacitor body 100. For example, the first main portion 130a may be spaced apart from the first side surface 100s1, the second side surface 100s2, the third side surface 100s3, and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100. The same spacing distance may be set between the first main portion 130a and each of the first side surface 100s1, the second side surface 100s2, the third side surface 100s3, and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100.

[0043] The first protruding portion 140a1 and the second protruding portion 140a2 may extend from the first main portion 130a. For example, the first protruding portion 140a1 may extend correspondingly from the side surface of the first main portion 130a in the first direction D1, and the second protruding portion 140a2 may extend correspondingly from the side surface of the first main portion 130a in the second direction D2. The first protruding portion 140a1 may extend toward the first side surface 100s1 of the capacitor body 100, and the second protruding portion 140a2 may extend toward the second side surface 100s2 of the capacitor body 100.

[0044] The first side surface 100s1 of the capacitor body 100 may correspondingly expose the first protruding portion 140a1, and the second side surface 100s2 of the capacitor body 100 may correspondingly expose the second protruding portion 140a2. On the first side surface 100s1 of the capacitor body 100, the first protruding portion 140a1 may be connected to the first external electrode 150a, and on the second side surface 100s2 of the capacitor body 100, the second protruding portion 140a2 may be connected to the first external electrode 150a.

[0045] The first protruding portion 140a1 and the second protruding portion 140a2 may each have a linear shape extending from the first main portion 130a. The horizontal width (width in the second direction D2) of the first protruding portion 140a1 may be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the second direction D2) of a side surface of the first main portion 130a that is connected to the first protruding portion 140a1. The horizontal width of the first protruding portion 140a1 may be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the second direction D2) of the first side surface 100s1. For example, the horizontal width of the first protruding portion 140a1 may be about 1 / 3 to about 2 / 3 of the horizontal width of the first side surface 100s1. The horizontal width (width in the first direction D1) of the second protruding portion 140a2 may be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the first direction D1) of a side surface of the first main portion 130a that is connected to the second protruding portion 140a2. The horizontal width of the second protruding portion 140a2 may be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the first direction D1) of the second side surface 100s2. For example, the horizontal width of the second protruding portion 140a2 may be about 1 / 3 to about 2 / 3 of the horizontal width of the second side surface 100s2.

[0046] Each of the second internal electrodes 120b may include a second main portion 130b, a plurality of third protruding portions 140b1 extending from the second main portion 130b, and a plurality of fourth protruding portions 140b2 extending from the second main portion 130b.

[0047] The second main portion 130b may have a planar shape corresponding to the planar shape of the capacitor body 100. For example, when viewed in a plane, the second main portion 130b may have a regular octagon. The second main portion 130b may have side surfaces facing the first direction D1, the second direction D2, the third direction D3, and the fourth direction D4. The planar shape of the second main portion 130b may be smaller than the planar shape of the capacitor body 100. For example, the width of the second main portion 130b in the horizontal direction may be smaller than the width of the capacitor body 100 in the horizontal direction.

[0048] When viewed in a plane, the second main portion 130b may be located on the central portion of the capacitor body 100. For example, the second main portion 130b may be spaced apart from the first side surface 100s1, the second side surface 100s2, the third side surface 100s3, and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100. The same spacing distance may be set between the second main portion 130b and each of the first side surface 100s1, the second side surface 100s2, the third side surface 100s3, and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100.

[0049] The third protruding portion 140b1 and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can extend from the second main portion 130b. For example, the third protruding portion 140b1 can correspondingly extend from a side surface of the second main portion 130b in the third direction D3, and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can correspondingly extend from a side surface of the second main portion 130b in the fourth direction D4. The third protruding portion 140b1 can extend toward the third side surface 100s3 of the capacitor body 100, and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can extend toward the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100.

[0050] The third side surface 100s3 of the capacitor body 100 can correspondingly expose the third protruding portion 140b1, and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100 can correspondingly expose the fourth protruding portion 140b2. On the third side surface 100s3 of the capacitor body 100, the third protruding portion 140b1 can be connected to the second external electrode 150b, and on the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100, the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can be connected to the second external electrode 150b.

[0051] The third protruding portion 140b1 and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can each have a linear shape extending from the second main portion 130b. The horizontal width (width in the fourth direction D4) of the third protruding portion 140b1 can be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the fourth direction D4) of a side surface of the second main portion 130b that is connected to the third protruding portion 140b1. The horizontal width of the third protruding portion 140b1 can be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the fourth direction D4) of the third side surface 100s3. For example, the horizontal width of the third protruding portion 140b1 can be about 1 / 3 to about 2 / 3 of the horizontal width of the third side surface 100s3. The horizontal width (width in the fourth direction D4) of the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the fourth direction D4) of a side surface (the side surface connected to the fourth protruding portion 140b2) of the second main portion 130b. The horizontal width of the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can be smaller than the horizontal width (width in the fourth direction D4) of the fourth side surface 100s4. For example, the horizontal width of the fourth protruding portion 140b2 can be about 1 / 3 to about 2 / 3 of the horizontal width of the fourth side surface 100s4.

[0052] The first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b can be stacked in the fifth direction D5. The first internal electrode 120a can have the same planar shape as the second internal electrode 120b, and the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b can be moved rotationally by an angle of about 45 degrees. The first main portion 130a of the first internal electrode 120a can vertically overlap with the second main portion 130b of the second internal electrode 120b along the fifth direction D5.

[0053] The first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b can be buried in the dielectric layer 110. The first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b can be spaced apart from each other with the dielectric layer 110 therebetween. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structured capacitor can be constituted by one first internal electrode 120a, one second internal electrode 120b adjacent to the one first internal electrode 120a, and the dielectric layer 110 between the one first internal electrode 120a and the one second internal electrode 120b. The capacitance of the capacitor can depend on the overlapping area of the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b, for example, the overlapping area of the first main portion 130a and the second main portion 130b. Therefore, the areas of the first main portion 130a and the second main portion 130b can be adjusted to obtain the capacitance required for the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000. The dielectric layer 110 can bury the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b, and can fill the space between the first protruding portion 140a1 and the second protruding portion 140a2 of the first internal electrode 120a and the space between the third protruding portion 140b1 and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 of the second internal electrode 120b.

[0054] The first internal electrode 120a can be connected to the first external electrode 150a, and the second internal electrode 120b can be connected to the second external electrode 150b.

[0055] Figure 6 A side view of a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept is shown, showing the multilayer ceramic electronic component viewed from the front in the second direction D2. Figure 7 and Figure 8 A cross-sectional view showing a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to some embodiments of the inventive concept is shown. Figure 7 Corresponding to a cross-sectional view taken along Figure 5 line A-A'. Figure 8 Corresponding to a cross-sectional view taken along Figure 5 line B-B'.

[0056] Referring to Figures 5 to 8, the first side surface 100s1 and the second side surface 100s2 of the capacitor body 100 may expose the first protruding portion 140a1 and the second protruding portion 140a2 (i.e., the first protruding portion 140a1 and the second protruding portion 140a2 are respectively exposed at the first side surface 100s1 and the second side surface 100s2), and the first protruding portion 140a1 and the second protruding portion 140a2 may be connected to the first external electrode 150a. The first external electrode 150a may extend in the fifth direction D5 and may be connected to the first internal electrodes 120a spaced apart from each other.

[0057] The third side surface 100s3 and the fourth side surface 100s4 of the capacitor body 100 may expose the third protruding portion 140b1 and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 (i.e., the third protruding portion 140b1 and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 are respectively exposed at the third side surface 100s3 and the fourth side surface 100s4), and the third protruding portion 140b1 and the fourth protruding portion 140b2 may be connected to the second external electrode 150b. The second external electrode 150b may extend in the fifth direction D5 and may be connected to the second internal electrodes 120b spaced apart from each other.

[0058] The first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b may be terminals for transmitting an electrical signal to the capacitor body 100.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the inventive concept, the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 may be configured to have at least three first external electrodes 150a and at least three second external electrodes 150b provided. With this configuration, each of the first internal electrodes 120a and the second internal electrodes 120b may have three or more terminals, so that the equivalent series inductance (ESL) may be reduced. In addition, only one of the external electrodes 150a and 150b may be provided on each of the side surfaces of the capacitor body 100. Therefore, two adjacent external electrodes among the external electrodes 150a and 150b may be spaced apart from each other at a wide interval, and the capacitor body 100 may be located between the external electrodes 150a and 150b, for example, on a straight line connecting two adjacent ones of the external electrodes 150a and 150b. Therefore, there is less interference between the external electrodes 150a and 150b. In summary, the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 may have improved electrical characteristics.

[0060] In addition, as the capacitor body 100 is arranged in the form of a regular octagon and as the external electrodes 150a and 150b are provided on the side surfaces 100s1 to 100s4 of the capacitor body 100, the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 can be configured to have a symmetric shape when viewed in a plane. Accordingly, even if the size of the capacitor body 100 is small, a sufficient interval can be formed between the external electrodes 150a and 150b, and the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 can be made compact.

[0061] In addition, the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b can be rotationally displaced only relative to each other and can have substantially the same planar shape. Accordingly, the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b can be manufactured by the same process, and the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 can be manufactured by a simplified process.

[0062] In the following embodiments, the same reference numerals are assigned to elements identical to those discussed in the embodiments of Figure 1 and Figure 8 and, for ease of description, repeated explanations thereof will be omitted or deleted. Hereinafter, the focus will be on the differences between the embodiments of Figure 1 and Figure 8 and the embodiments described below.

[0067] As Figure 11 shown, the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b may be stacked in a fifth direction D5 (i.e., the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b may be stacked on top of each other in the fifth direction D5). The first internal electrode 120a may have the same planar shape as the planar shape of the second internal electrode 120b, and the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b may be rotationally moved by an angle of about 45 degrees, as shown.

The capacitor body 100 may have a top surface and a bottom surface that face each other in a fifth direction D5. The fifth direction D5 may be perpendicular to the sixth direction D6, the seventh direction D7, and the eighth direction D8. For example, the capacitor body 100 may have a hexagonal prism shape.

[0071] The first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b may be correspondingly provided on the side surfaces of the capacitor body 100. In this case, the first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b may be provided on the side surfaces of the capacitor body 100 in a one-to-one correspondence (i.e., one first external electrode 150a is on one side surface, one second external electrode 150b is on the other side surface, etc.), and the first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b may be alternately arranged (i.e., adjacent side surfaces have different first external electrodes 150a and second external electrodes 150b). For example, the first external electrode 150a may be provided on one of two adjacent side surfaces of the capacitor body 100, and the second external electrode 150b may be provided on the other of the two adjacent side surfaces of the capacitor body 100. The first external electrode 150a and the second external electrode 150b may cover some portions of the side surfaces of the capacitor body 100.

[0075] The fifth protruding portions 140a3 may extend from the first main portion 130a. For example, the fifth protruding portions 140a3 may correspondingly extend from the side surfaces of the first main portion 130a. With this configuration, the fifth protruding portions 140a3 may be provided only on three of the six side surfaces of the first main portion 130a, as Figure 13 shown. For example, the fifth protruding portion 140a3 may be provided on one of two adjacent side surfaces of the first main portion 130a and may not be provided on the other of the two adjacent side surfaces of the first main portion 130a.

The horizontal width of the fifth protruding portion 140a3 may be smaller than the horizontal width of each side surface of the capacitor body 100. For example, the horizontal width of the fifth protruding portion 140a3 may be about 1 / 3 to about 2 / 3 of the horizontal width of each side surface of the capacitor body 100.

With this configuration, the sixth protruding portion 140b3 can be provided only on three of the six side surfaces of the second main portion 130b, as Figure 14 shown. For example, the sixth protruding portion 140b3 can be provided on one of two adjacent side surfaces of the second main portion 130b and not provided on the other of the two adjacent side surfaces of the second main portion 130b. The sixth protruding portion 140b3 can extend toward a side surface of the capacitor body 100. Each of the side surfaces of the capacitor body 100 can expose a sixth protruding portion 140b3 (i.e., the sixth protruding portion 140b3 is exposed at the side surface). On the side surface of the capacitor body 100, the sixth protruding portion 140b3 can be connected to the second external electrode 150b.

[0080] Each of the sixth protruding portions 140b3 can have a linear shape extending from the second main portion 130b. The horizontal width of the sixth protruding portion 140b3 can be smaller than the horizontal width of each side surface of the second main portion 130b that is connected to the sixth protruding portion 140b3. The horizontal width of each of the six protruding portions 140b3 can be smaller than the horizontal width of each side surface of the capacitor body 100. For example, the horizontal width of the sixth protruding portion 140b3 can be about 1 / 3 to about 2 / 3 of the horizontal width of each side surface of the capacitor body 100.

[0082] The first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b may be embedded in the dielectric layer 110. The first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b may be spaced apart from each other with the dielectric layer 110 therebetween. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structured capacitor may be constituted by a first internal electrode 120a, a second internal electrode 120b adjacent to the first internal electrode 120a, and the dielectric layer 110 positioned between the first internal electrode 120a and the second internal electrode 120b.

[0100] Figures 1 to 18The embodiments explain that the plan view of the capacitor body 100 has a regular octagonal planar shape, a regular hexagonal planar shape, or a regular decagonal planar shape, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto. When viewed in a plane, the capacitor body 100 may have a regular n-sided polygon, and n may be equal to or greater than 4.

[0101] Figure 19 is a cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device according to some embodiments of the inventive concept.

[0102] Referring Figure 19 , the electronic device 1100 may include a substrate 200 and a multilayer ceramic capacitor 1000 mounted on the substrate 200. The substrate 200 may have a substrate pad 210 provided on a top surface of the substrate 200. The substrate pad 210 may include a conductive material. The multilayer ceramic capacitor 1000 may be the multilayer ceramic electronic component 1000 or 1001 discussed with reference to Figures 1 to 18 . The multilayer ceramic capacitor 1000 may be mounted on the substrate 200 to allow Figure 1 the bottom surface 100L of the capacitor body 100 of to face the top surface of the substrate 200.

[0103] Some embodiments of the multilayer ceramic electronic component according to the inventive concept may be provided with at least three first external electrodes and at least three second external electrodes. With this configuration, each of the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode may have three or more terminals, and thus the equivalent series inductance (ESL) may be reduced. The external electrodes may be correspondingly provided on a side surface of the capacitor body. Two adjacent ones of the external electrodes may be spaced apart from each other at a wide interval, and the capacitor body may be located between the external electrodes. Accordingly, there is less interference between the external electrodes. Therefore, a multilayer ceramic electronic component having improved electrical characteristics may be provided.

[0104] In addition, since the capacitor body is provided in the form of a polygon and since the external electrodes are correspondingly provided on the side surface of the capacitor body, the multilayer ceramic electronic component may be configured to have a symmetric shape when viewed in a plane. Accordingly, even if the size of the capacitor body is small, a sufficiently large interval may be provided between the external electrodes, and the multilayer ceramic electronic component may be made compact.

[0105] In addition, the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode may be rotationally displaced only relative to each other and may have substantially the same planar shape. Accordingly, the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode are manufactured by the same process, and the multilayer ceramic electronic component can be manufactured by a simplified process.

[0106] Although the present invention has been described with reference to some embodiments of the inventive concept shown in the drawings, one of ordinary skill in the art should understand that changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the inventive concept. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed above should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.
