Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a capacitor having an increased capacitance density, the method comprising the steps of: mixing a powder comprised of dielectric particles into a dielectric slurry, wherein the dielectric particles are coated with a conductive coating; casting a dielectric tape from the dielectric slurry; applying a layer of ink over the dielectric tape to create a printed green sheet, wherein the ink is comprised of conductive particles which operate to form an electrode layer; stacking a plurality of printed green sheets such that the electrode layer of at least one sheet is juxtaposed to the dielectric tape layer of an adjacent sheet; and sintering the stacked printed green sheets such that the conductive coating on the dielectric particles aggregates in voids between the dielectric particles, wherein at least one instance of aggregation of the conductive coating is in electrical communication with an electrode layer.
