Description

  The present invention relates to a conductor paste for an electrode layer of a multilayer ceramic electronic component and a method of manufacturing a multilayer unit for the multilayer ceramic electronic component, and more specifically, a layer adjacent to the electrode layer of the multilayer ceramic electronic component. The conductive paste for the electrode layer and the multilayer ceramic electronic component can be surely prevented from causing a short circuit failure in the multilayer ceramic electronic component without dissolving the binder contained in the multilayer ceramic electronic component. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer unit for a multilayer ceramic electronic component that can be reliably prevented from occurring.

  In recent years, along with the miniaturization of various electronic devices, there has been a demand for miniaturization and high performance of electronic components mounted on electronic devices, and even in multilayer ceramic electronic components such as multilayer ceramic capacitors, There is a strong demand for an increase in the number of layers and a thinner layer unit.

  To manufacture multilayer ceramic electronic components represented by multilayer ceramic capacitors, first, ceramic powder, binders such as acrylic resin and butyral resin, and plastics such as phthalates, glycols, adipic acid, and phosphates are used. A dielectric paste for a ceramic green sheet is prepared by mixing and dispersing an agent and an organic solvent such as toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, and acetone.

  Next, the dielectric paste is applied onto a support sheet formed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polypropylene (PP) using an extrusion coater or gravure coater, and heated to dry the coating film. A ceramic green sheet is prepared.

  Furthermore, a conductive powder such as nickel and a binder are dissolved in a solvent such as terpionol to prepare a conductive paste, and the conductive paste is applied to the ceramic green sheet in a predetermined pattern by a screen printer or the like. Print and dry to form the electrode layer.

  When the electrode layer is formed, the ceramic green sheet on which the electrode layer is formed is peeled from the support sheet to form a laminate unit including the ceramic green sheet and the electrode layer, and a desired number of laminate units are laminated. The resulting laminate is cut into chips to produce a green chip.

  Finally, the binder is removed from the green chip, the green chip is fired, and external electrodes are formed, whereby a multilayer ceramic electronic component such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor is manufactured.

  Due to the demand for miniaturization and high performance of electronic components, it is now required that the thickness of the ceramic green sheet that determines the interlayer thickness of the multilayer ceramic capacitor be 3 μm or 2 μm or less, and more than 300 ceramic green sheets And a laminate unit including an electrode layer are required to be laminated.

  However, as a binder for ceramic green sheets, the most commonly used terpionol is used as the solvent as the solvent for the conductor paste on the ceramic green sheet using the widely used butyral resin as the binder. When the electrode paste is formed by printing the prepared conductor paste for internal electrodes, the binder of the ceramic green sheet is dissolved by the terpione in the conductor paste, and pinholes are formed in the ceramic green sheet. There is a problem that cracks occur and cause short circuits.

  In order to solve such a problem, it has been proposed to use a carbon hydrogen solvent such as kerosene or decane as a solvent for the conductor paste, but a carbon hydrogen solvent such as kerosene or decane is used for the conductor paste. Since the binder component does not dissolve, the conventionally used solvent such as terpionol cannot be completely replaced by a carbon hydrogen solvent such as kerosene or decane, and therefore the solvent in the conductor paste is still Because it has a certain degree of solubility in butyral resin, which is a binder for ceramic green sheets, if ceramic green sheets are very thin, pinholes and cracks may occur in the ceramic green sheets. It is difficult to prevent, and carbon-hydrogen-based solvents such as kerosene and decane It is different from the terpineol, because of its low viscosity, the viscosity control of the conductive paste has a problem that it is difficult.

  Further, JP-A-5-325633, JP-A-7-21833, and JP-A-7-21832 disclose, for example, hydrogenated tarpione such as dihydroterpione or dihydroterpione acetate instead of tarpione. We have proposed conductor pastes that use terpene solvents, but terpene solvents such as hydrogenated terpionol such as dihydroterpioneel and dihydroterpional acetate are still used as butyral resin as a binder for ceramic green sheets. On the other hand, since the ceramic green sheet has a certain degree of solubility, it is difficult to prevent pinholes and cracks from occurring in the ceramic green sheet when the thickness of the ceramic green sheet is extremely thin. there were.

  Therefore, the present invention does not dissolve the binder contained in the layer adjacent to the electrode layer of the multilayer ceramic electronic component, and can reliably prevent the occurrence of short-circuit defects in the multilayer ceramic electronic component. An object of the present invention is to provide a conductor paste for an electrode layer.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a multilayer unit for a multilayer ceramic electronic component that can reliably prevent a short circuit failure from occurring in the multilayer ceramic electronic component.

  As a result of intensive studies to achieve the object of the present invention, the present inventor has used acrylic resin as the binder and limonene, α-terpinyl acetate, I-dihydrocarbyl acetate, I as the solvent. -When the conductor paste is prepared by using at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of menthone, I-perillyl acetate, i-carbyl acetate and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate, Even if a conductive paste is printed on a ceramic green sheet using a butyral resin as a binder to form an electrode layer, depending on the solvent contained in the conductive paste, The binder contained in the ceramic green sheet will not be melted, therefore ceramic In the case the thickness of the lean sheet is very thin was also found that the ceramic green sheet pinholes or cracks can reliably prevent the occurrence.

  Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to include a butyral resin as a binder, dihydroterpinyloxyethanol, terpinyloxyethanol, d-dihydrocarbeveol, I-citronol, I-perillyl alcohol and acetoxy-methoxyethoxy. -Achieved by a conductor paste comprising at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanol acetate.

  The above object of the present invention also includes an acrylic resin as a binder on a ceramic green sheet containing a butyral resin as a binder, limonene, α-terpinyl acetate, I-dihydrocarbyl acetate, I-menton, I A conductive paste containing at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of -perillyl acetate, i-carbyl acetate and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate is printed in a predetermined pattern to form an electrode layer. This is achieved by a method for manufacturing a multilayer unit for a multilayer ceramic electronic component.

  According to the present invention, even when a conductive paste is printed on a very thin ceramic green sheet containing a butyral resin as a binder to form an electrode layer, the solvent contained in the conductive paste Since the binder contained in the ceramic green sheet is not melted, pinholes and cracks can be reliably prevented from occurring even when the ceramic green sheet is extremely thin. It becomes possible.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, prior to the formation of the electrode layer, or after the electrode layer is formed and dried, the ceramic green sheet further includes an acrylic resin as a binder, limonene, A dielectric paste containing at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of α-terpinyl acetate, I-dihydrocarbyl acetate, I-menton, I-peryl acetate, i-carbyl acetate and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate The spacer layer is formed by printing in a pattern complementary to the electrode layer.

  According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, since the spacer layer is formed on the ceramic green sheet in a pattern complementary to the electrode layer, the surface of the electrode layer and the ceramic green sheet on which the electrode layer is not formed are formed. It is possible to prevent a step from being formed between the surface and the laminate formed by laminating a multilayer unit, each of which includes a multilayer unit including a ceramic green sheet and an electrode layer. It is possible to effectively prevent the multilayer electronic component such as a ceramic capacitor from being deformed, and to effectively prevent the occurrence of delamination.

  Further, as a solvent contained in the conductive paste for forming the electrode layer and the dielectric paste for forming the spacer layer, a mixed solvent of terpionele and kerosene, dihydroterpioneer, Pioneer, etc., dissolves the acrylic resin contained in the ceramic green sheet as a binder, so the solvent contained in the dielectric paste for forming the spacer layer dissolves into the ceramic green sheet, and the ceramic green sheet Laminates or swells the surface of the spacer layer, resulting in cracks and wrinkles. As a result, each laminate unit is formed by laminating a multilayer unit including a ceramic green sheet and an electrode layer. Voids are likely to occur in multilayer electronic components such as ceramic capacitors. However, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric paste used to form the spacer layer contains an acrylic resin as a binder, and limonene, α-terpinyl acetate, I-dihydrocarbyl. Containing at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of acetate, I-menton, I-perillyl acetate, i-carbyl acetate, and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate, limonene, α-terpinyl acetate, I-di A solvent selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl acetate, I-menton, I-peryl acetate, i-carbyl acetate and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate hardly dissolves butyral resin contained as a binder in the ceramic green sheet. For ceramic green Can be surely prevented from dissolving or swelling and causing cracks and wrinkles on the surface of the spacer layer. Therefore, each of the multilayer units including a ceramic green sheet and an electrode layer can be It is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of voids in the laminated electronic component such as the laminated ceramic capacitor that is laminated.

  In the present invention, the molecular weight of the acrylic resin contained in the conductive paste and the acrylic resin contained in the dielectric paste for the spacer layer as the binder as the binder is preferably 450,000 or more and 900,000 or less, By using an acrylic resin having a molecular weight of 450,000 or more and 900,000 or less as a binder for a conductive paste and a dielectric paste for a spacer layer, a conductive paste having a desired viscosity and a dielectric for the spacer layer A paste can be prepared.

  In addition, when a conductive paste for internal electrodes is printed on a very thin ceramic green sheet to form an electrode layer, and a dielectric paste is printed to form a spacer layer, a solvent in the conductive paste is used. In addition, the solvent in the dielectric paste for the sepage layer dissolves or swells the binder component of the ceramic green sheet, while the ceramic green sheet has a defect that the conductive paste and the dielectric paste penetrate into the ceramic green sheet. Since there is a problem of causing defects, it is desirable that the electrode layer and the spacer layer be formed on another support sheet and dried and then adhered to the surface of the ceramic green sheet via the adhesive layer. As has been found by the inventors' studies, in this way, the electrode layer and the spacer layer are formed on a separate support sheet. In the case of forming, a release layer containing the same binder as the ceramic green sheet is formed on the surface of the support sheet so that the support sheet can be easily peeled off from the electrode layer and the spacer layer, and the conductor paste is formed on the release layer. Is preferably printed to form an electrode layer, and a dielectric paste is printed to form a spacer layer. In this way, the conductive paste is printed on the release layer having the same composition as the ceramic green sheet to form the electrode layer, and the dielectric paste is printed to form the spacer layer. When the layer contains butyral resin as a binder, and the conductor paste and dielectric paste contain tarpione as a solvent, the binder contained in the release layer was contained in the conductor paste and dielectric paste. There is a problem in that it is dissolved by the solvent, pinholes and cracks are generated in the release layer, and a defect occurs in the multilayer ceramic electronic component such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor.

  However, according to the present invention, an acrylic resin is included as a binder, and limonene, α-terpinyl acetate, I-dihydrocarbyl acetate, I-menton, I-peryl acetate, i-carbyl acetate and d-dicarboxyl. An electrode layer is formed using a conductive paste containing at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl acetate, and preferably further contains an acrylic resin as a binder, and limonene, α-terpinyl acetate, I A spacer layer is formed using a dielectric paste containing at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of dihydrocarbyl acetate, I-menton, I-peryl acetate, i-carbyl acetate and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate. , Limonene, α-terpinyl acetate The solvent selected from the group consisting of I-dihydrocarbyl acetate, I-menton, I-perillyl acetate, i-carbyl acetate, and d-dihydrocarbyl acetate contains almost no butyral resin contained as a binder in the ceramic green sheet. Since it does not dissolve, a release layer containing the same binder as the ceramic green sheet is formed, and a conductive paste is printed on the release layer, an electrode layer is formed, and a dielectric paste is printed to form a spacer layer. Even in this case, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of pinholes and cracks in the release layer, and it is possible to effectively prevent defects in the multilayer ceramic electronic component such as the multilayer ceramic capacitor. .
