Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The object of the present invention is to provide a multilayer ceramic electronic component having improved highly accelerated lifetime and specific permittivity. A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising a multilayer body in which an internal electrode layer and a dielectric layer are stacked in alternating manner, wherein the dielectric layer comprises a dielectric ceramic composition having a main component expressed by a general formula ABO3 (A is Ba and the like, and B is Ti and the like) and a rare earth component R, a segregation phase including the rare earth component R exists in the dielectric layer, an area ratio of the segregation phases in a cross section along a stacking direction is 104 ppm to 961 ppm, and 96% or more of a total area of the segregation phases contact with the internal electrode layer.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising a multilayer body in which an internal electrode layer and a dielectric layer are stacked in alternating manner, wherein the dielectric layer comprises a dielectric ceramic composition having a main component expressed by a general formula ABO 3 (A is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, and Ca; and B is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, and Hf) and a rare earth component R (R is at least one selected from the group consisting of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu), segregation phase particles including the rare earth component R exist in the dielectric layer, an area ratio of segregation phase particles in a cross section along a stacking direction is 104 ppm to 961 ppm, and a total area of the segregation phase particles that contacts with the internal electrode layer is 96% or more of a total area of all segregation phase particles. 2. The multilayer ceramic electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum length of the segregation phase in the stacking direction is 100% or less with respect to an average thickness of the internal electrode layer. 3. The multilayer ceramic electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein 50% or more of the total segregation phases in terms of number base are embedded in the internal electrode layer. 4. The multilayer ceramic electronic component according to claim 2 , wherein 50% or more of the total segregation phases in terms of number base are embedded in the internal electrode layer. 5. A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising a multilayer body in which an internal electrode layer and a dielectric layer are stacked in alternating manner, wherein the dielectric layer comprises a dielectric ceramic composition having a main component expressed by a general formula ABO 3 (A is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, and Ca; and B is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, and Hf) and a rare earth component R (R is at least one selected from the group consisting of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu), segregation phase particles including the rare earth component R exist in the dielectric layer, an area ratio of segregation phase particles in a cross section along a stacking direction is 104 ppm to 961 ppm, and a ratio of a number of segregation phase particles that contact with the internal electrode layer to a total number of all segregation phase particles is 96% or more.
