Patent number: 11398342Abstract: An electronic component includes an element body and outer electrodes on the element body. The element body includes top and bottom opposed surfaces, and side surfaces connecting the top and bottom surfaces. An outer electrode includes a lower layer electrode on the top surface and the bottom surface, and an upper layer electrode overlying the lower layer electrode and extending from an upper side of the lower electrode onto the side surface. When viewed from a direction orthogonal to the top and bottom surfaces, an edge of the lower layer electrode is disposed at a position farther from the side surface at which the upper layer electrode is provided than a position of an edge of the upper layer electrode, and a radius of curvature of the edge of the lower electrode is larger than a radius of curvature of the edge of the upper layer electrode.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTDInventors: Jun Adachi, Naganori Hirakawa, Hiroyuki Asano, Sumiyo Nakamura

Patent number: 10292264Abstract: Provided are an insulating ceramic paste, a ceramic electronic component, and a method for producing the ceramic electronic component that allow prevention of solder shorts between narrow-pitch terminal electrodes and suppression of generation of cracks in an insulator covering a portion of terminal electrodes during a firing step. The ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic multilayer substrate, terminal electrodes formed on a surface of the ceramic multilayer substrate, and an insulating ceramic film formed on the surface of the ceramic multilayer substrate so as to cover a portion of the terminal electrodes. An exposed surface portion (celsian-crystal-rich layer) of the insulating ceramic film has a thermal expansion coefficient that is lower than the thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic multilayer substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Sumiyo Nakamura, Takahiro Sumi, Takahiro Oka
