  • Publication number: 20130038980
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are inner electrodes of a multilayered ceramic capacitor including metal powders including graphene layers formed on a surface thereof and a multilayered ceramic capacitor including the inner electrodes. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention can include metal powders including graphene layers formed on a surface thereof as inner electrode materials of a multilayered ceramic capacitor to more effectively prevent necking of the metal powders than the related art including only dielectric ceramic powders, thereby increasing necking temperature and necking and control inner electrode shrinkage, thereby reducing a thickness of the inner electrode and defects such as short/cracks, and the like, of the inner electrode. Therefore, it is possible to provide the multilayered ceramic capacitor with excellent reliability by minimizing a difference in shrinkage between the dielectric layer and the inner electrodes.
