  • Patent number: 6658724
    Abstract: A multilayer ferrite component is produced with powder for magnetic ferrite, characterized by having the composition of Fe2O3: 40 to 51 mol %, CuO: 7 to 30 mol %, ZnO: 0.5 to 35 mol % and MgO: 5 to 35 mol %, in which a peak of particle size distribution positions in range of 0.3 to 1.2 &mgr;m. This MgCuZn ferrite uses such powders of less deterioration in a permeability &mgr; and a peak position of particle size distribution in range of 0.3 to 1.2 &mgr;m, thereby enabling a co-firing together with Ag or Ag alloys. It is provided a magnetic ferrite of less deterioration in a magnetic characteristic, in particular a permeability &mgr; against stress and enabling to be sintered at low temperature sintering, that is, below the melting points of Ag or Ag alloys used as electrode materials.

  • Patent number: 5476728
    Abstract: Non-magnetic ferrite composition used in the composite multilayer part of the invention is based on ferrite containing Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and CuO and/or ZnO and further contains 1 to 30% by weight of four oxide components of MgO, BaO, SiO.sub.2, and B.sub.2 O.sub.3 or five or six oxide components including the four oxide components plus at least one of SnO.sub.2 and CaO. Since the use of this non-magnetic ferrite minimizes the difference in coefficient of linear expansion between different materials used, the non-magnetic ferrite, when applied to composite multilayer parts such as shielded multilayer chip inductors, shielded multilayer transformers, and multilayer LC composite parts, prevents occurrence of cracks in the interior and avoids a lowering of circuit resistance due to precipitation of CuO, ZnO or the like at the interface between different materials. There result composite multilayer parts with improved characteristics.
