Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body; internal electrodes disposed in the ceramic body; external electrodes disposed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the internal electrodes; and tin plating layers disposed on the external electrodes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body; internal electrodes disposed in the ceramic body; external electrodes disposed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the internal electrodes; and tin plating layers disposed on the external electrodes. 2 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the external electrodes comprise a conductive resin. 3 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 2 , wherein the conductive resin contains a metal powder comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel (Ni), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), gold (Au), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and an alloy thereof. 4 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 2 , wherein the tin plating layer and a metal powder contained in the conductive resin are made of the same material. 5 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 1 , further comprising metal layers disposed on the outer surfaces of the ceramic body on which the external electrodes are formed. 6 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 5 , wherein the metal layers are disposed on regions in which the external electrodes are formed. 7 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 5 , wherein the metal layers comprise at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel (Ni), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), gold (Au), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and an alloy thereof. 8 . The ceramic electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the internal electrodes include first and second internal electrodes that are alternately stacked, and the external electrodes include a first external electrode electrically connected to the first internal electrodes and a second external electrode electrically connected to the second internal electrodes. 9 . A method of manufacturing a ceramic electronic component, comprising steps of: forming internal electrodes on dielectric sheets; stacking a plurality of the dielectric sheets to form a ceramic body; forming external electrodes on outer surfaces of the ceramic body; and forming tin plating layers on the external electrodes. 10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising, before the step of forming the external electrodes, a step of forming metal layers on the outer surfaces of the ceramic body. 11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the step of forming metal layers includes dipping the ceramic body in a conductive paste and then drying the ceramic body. 12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the step of forming the external electrodes includes mixing together a polymer resin and a metal powder to form a conductive resin paste for forming the external electrodes.
