Abstract:
An electronic device comprising a first metal layer containing at least a metal and a second metal layer formed by firing of a metal particle, with an intermediate oxide layer interleaved between said two metal layers, wherein:an oxidation-reduction equilibrium curve for the metal particle contained in said second metal layer is positioned above an oxidation-reduction equilibrium curve for the metal contained in said first metal layer, andsaid intermediate oxide layer comprises an oxide of the metal contained in said first metal layer; wherein:a dielectric layer and an internal electrode alternately stacked one upon another to form a multilayer structure,terminal electrodes formed at ends of said multilayer structure are electrically connected to said internal electrode to provide a capacitor, andat least one of said terminal electrodes comprises, in order form an internal electrode side, said first metal layer, said intermediate oxide layer, and said second electrode layer.
