Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a high-reliability, low-ESL, high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitor. Background Art
[0002] High-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors (HVMLCCs) are widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, weapons, and other fields due to their high withstand voltage, large capacity, and small size. They perform high-voltage coupling, DC blocking, and filtering functions in circuits. With the continuous expansion of HVMLCC applications and the iterative updates of circuit design, HVMLCCs are required to have higher reliability and lower equivalent series inductance (ESL). Conventional HVMLCCs have a large internal electrode brush area. During the sintering process, due to the difference in expansion coefficients between the internal electrode metal and the ceramic dielectric, stress is generated at the metal-ceramic interface, which can easily lead to cracks or delamination within the capacitor, and the reliability of the HVMLCC cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the aspect ratio of existing HVMLCC designs is usually greater than 1, resulting in a long current transmission path, which leads to a large ESL. When used at high frequencies, the circuit is prone to noise and voltage fluctuations. For example, the multilayer ceramic capacitor disclosed in JP2001185446A forms a multilayer capacitor by alternately stacking dielectric layers and internal electrode layers. However, the internal electrode layers are arranged vertically, so that the withstand voltage value of each layer of capacitance is not high, and the current transmission path formed between the internal electrode and the external electrode is long, resulting in a large ESL. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a high-reliability, low-ESL, high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitor.

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the described solution.
[0019] A high-reliability, low-ESL, high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitor comprises an external electrode 5 and a capacitor core 7; the external electrode 5 is wrapped around opposite sides of the capacitor core, and the capacitor core 7 comprises several layers of internal electrodes 4 and dielectric layers 3, which are alternately stacked into a square block. The top and bottom of the square block are provided with an upper protective layer 1 and a lower protective layer 2, respectively. The internal electrode 4 comprises several flat electrode sheets, and adjacent layers of internal electrodes 4 are staggered. By staggering the multiple layers of internal electrodes and dielectric layers between two external electrodes 5, the edges of the adjacent electrode sheets of the adjacent two layers of internal electrodes 4 are relative to form a series capacitor, which shares the voltage applied to the capacitor and increases the capacitor's withstand voltage. The external electrode 5 is wrapped around both ends of the capacitor and is used to connect and lead out the internal electrode 4. The external electrode connects and leads out the capacitance formed by the adjacent two layers of internal electrodes in parallel, reducing the aspect ratio of the capacitor, shortening the current transmission path, and effectively reducing the capacitor's ESL.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a layer of inner electrode 4 includes three electrode sheets a, b, and c on the X0Z plane, and the inner electrode of the lower layer includes two electrode sheets c and e. The upper inner electrodes a, b, and c are staggered and opposite to the lower inner electrodes d and e, and the facing parts at both ends form four capacitors C1, C2, C3, and C4. The four capacitors are connected in series to share the voltage applied by the capacitors, effectively increasing the withstand voltage capability of the capacitors. The withstand voltage capability of the present invention can reach (2000V~10000V).
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner electrodes a, b, c, d and e adopt a split design in the XOY cross section. The inner electrodes are divided into two or more patterns of the same area. The patterns are independent and separated from each other, which effectively reduces the printing area of the inner electrodes, reduces the sintering stress of the capacitor, and increases the reliability of the capacitor.
[0022] Among any two adjacent layers of the plurality of layers of inner electrodes 4 , only one layer has its two ends connected to the outer electrodes 5 .
[0023] The four corners of the electrode sheet are all rounded, which improves the distribution of the electric field on the inner electrode under high voltage conditions and effectively prevents discharge at the capacitor tip.
