Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic component that includes: a ceramic body; an external electrode on a first part of a surface of the ceramic body; and a glass layer covering at least a second part of the surface of the ceramic body, wherein the glass layer contains silicon atoms, titanium atoms, and zirconium atoms, and the glass layer has a titanium dispersion proportion of 90% or more and a zirconium dispersion proportion of 60% or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic component comprising: a ceramic body; an external electrode on a first part of a surface of the ceramic body; and a glass layer covering at least a second part of the surface of the ceramic body, wherein the glass layer contains silicon atoms, titanium atoms, and zirconium atoms, and the glass layer has a titanium dispersion proportion of 90% or more and a zirconium dispersion proportion of 60% or more. 2. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium dispersion proportion is 95% or more, and the zirconium dispersion proportion is 75% or more. 3. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second part of the surface of the ceramic body covered by the glass layer is not covered by the external electrode. 4. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second part of the surface of the ceramic body covered by the glass layer is also covered by the external electrode. 5. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the glass layer further contains a metal. 6. The electronic component according to claim 5 , wherein the glass layer has a specific resistance of less than 1.0×10 −2 Ω·cm. 7. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the glass layer has a thickness of 0.01 μm to 2 μm.
