  • Patent number: 4772985
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thick film capacitor comprising (a) a sintered layer of a ferroelectric material mainly consisting of one or more ferroelectric inorganic compounds having a perovskite structure and an inorganic binder having a eutectic composition which experiences a liquid phase at a temperature lower than the sintering temperature of the ferroelectric inorganic compounds, and (b) at least two electrodes formed on both surfaces of the sintered layer of the ferroelectric material. In the thick film capacitor of this invention, the perovskite structure of the ferroelectric inorganic compounds is not destroyed upon sintering. Therefore, a high degree of sintering, a good dielectric characteristic and high moisture and migration resistances can be obtained.
