Resin Electrode Layer for Chip Components

The patent applies composite materials by creating a resin electrode layer that combines resin material with electrically-conductive fine particles. This composite structure provides both mechanical flexibility to absorb thermal stress and electrical conductivity through the conductive particles, resolving the contradiction between reliability under load and strength against crack propagation.

The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the electrode layer by incorporating specific ratios of different electrically-conductive fine particles (such as silver, aluminum, or copper particles) into the resin matrix. This parameter optimization ensures adequate electroconductivity while the resin binder provides mechanical strength and flexibility to prevent crack propagation under thermal and mechanical stress.

The patent introduces a resin electrode layer as an intermediary between the metal electrodes and the ceramic substrate. This intermediate layer absorbs thermal expansion differences and mechanical stress, preventing crack propagation into the ceramic substrate while maintaining electrical connectivity, thus improving reliability without significantly complicating manufacturing.

The patent applies composite materials by using a resin-based electrode layer with conductive particles as an intermediate structure. This composite layer provides both mechanical compliance to protect the ceramic substrate from cracking and electrical conductivity to maintain circuit functionality, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing simplicity and reliability.
