Patent number: 11710599Abstract: A ceramic electronic device includes an element body and an external electrode. The element body is formed by laminating a ceramic layer and an internal electrode layer. The external electrode is electrically connected to at least one end of the internal electrode layer. The external electrode includes a baked electrode layer. The baked electrode layer includes a first region and a second region. The first region is contacted with an end surface of the element body and located near a joint boundary with the element body. The second region is located outside the first region and constituting an outer surface of the baked electrode layer. The first region includes a first glass having a predetermined composition. The second region includes a second glass having a predetermined composition.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Toshihiro Iguchi, Yuichiro Sueda, Ryota Namiki, Yasuhiro Okui, Atsushi Watanabe

Patent number: 9305708Abstract: A multilayer ceramic electronic device comprising a lamination in which an internal electrode layer 3 and a dielectric layer 2 are laminated alternatively, wherein the dielectric layer 2 is comprised of a dielectric ceramic composition including a main component represented by a general formula of ABO3 and a rare-earth component R, and segregation phases 5 including the rare-earth component R are present in the dielectric layer 2. When the dielectric layer 2 is separated to six areas by dividing the dielectric layer 2 sandwiched by a pair of the internal dielectric layers 3 in the thickness direction, there are the R segregation phases present in two neighboring areas 2a respectively adjacent to the pair of the internal electrode layers 3 in the dielectric layer 3 at a ratio of double or more compared with the R segregation phases present in two central areas 2b located at a substantially center in the dielectric layer 2.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Nobutaka Kai, Yasuhiro Okui, Satoru Kindaichi, Hideki Kaneko, Tatsuya Kojima, Akitoshi Yoshii
