Abstract:
1. A monolithic ceramic capacitor comprising: a plurality of stacked ceramic dielectric layers; a plurality of internal conductors, each internal conductor of the plurality of internal conductors placed between respective ceramic dielectric layers of the plurality of stacked ceramic dielectric layers and arranged in parallel; and external conductors each electrically connected to respective ends of corresponding internal conductors, wherein the ceramic dielectric layers have a thickness of about 0.5 μm to less than about 1.5 μm, the internal conductors have a thickness of about 0.1 μm to about 0.4 μm, the internal conductors each have spaces therein, a total area percentage of the spaces in each internal conductor is more than about 10% to less than about 40% of an area of the internal conductor, the ceramic dielectric layers contain a sintering additive containing Si, and the sintering additive is deposited in the spaces of the internal conductors.
