Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A conductive paste included in inner electrodes of a multilayer ceramic capacitor is fired and includes a conductive metal powder, a ceramic powder, an organic solvent, and an organic binder. The conductive metal powder includes copper, and at least a portion of the ceramic powder is a powder of at least one oxide of an ABO3 type with a specified ionic radius in which a ratio of a six-coordinate ionic radius of an A-site element in ABO3 to a six-coordinate ionic radius of copper is about 0.96 or greater and about 1.04 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A conductive paste to be included in inner electrodes of a multilayer ceramic capacitor, the conductive paste comprising: a conductive metal powder; a ceramic powder; an organic solvent; and an organic binder; wherein the conductive metal powder includes copper; at least a portion of the ceramic powder is a powder of at least one oxide of an ABO 3 type with a specified ionic radius in which a ratio of a six-coordinate ionic radius of an A-site element in ABO 3 to a six-coordinate ionic radius of copper is about 0.96 or greater and about 1.04 or less; the oxide of the ABO 3 type with the specified ionic radius has an ilmenite crystal structure; and the at least one oxide of the ABO 3 type with the specified ionic radius is at least one of CuTiO 3 , CoTiO 3 , or CrTiO 3 . 2 . The conductive paste according to claim 1 , wherein about 10% by volume or more of the ceramic powder is the powder of at the least one oxide of the ABO 3 type with the specified ionic radius, and a remainder of the ceramic powder is a powder including at least one of BaTiO 3 , SrTiO 3 , or CaZrO 3 . 3 . The conductive paste according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic powder includes at least one of Mn, Mg, Si, Y, Dy, or Gd as a minor additional material.
