Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A multilayer ceramic electronic component including thin external terminal electrodes each having a superior bonding force to a ceramic base body is provided. In order to form the external terminal electrodes, after Cu plating films are deposited on exposed portions of internal electrodes by direct plating on a ceramic base body, a Cu liquid phase, an O 2 -containing liquid phase, and a Cu solid phase are generated between the Cu plating film and the ceramic base body by a heat treatment, so that Cu oxides are dispersed in the Cu plating film, at least near an interface with the ceramic base body. Since the Cu oxides function as an adhesive, a bonding force of the Cu plating film to the ceramic base body can be increased, and hence the external terminal electrode having a superior bonding force to the ceramic base body can be obtained.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising the steps of: providing a ceramic base body which includes stacked ceramic layers and internal conductors, the internal conductors including exposed portions that are exposed at external surfaces of the ceramic base body; plating the ceramic base body to deposit Cu plating films directly on the exposed portions of the internal conductors; and heat treating the ceramic base body so as to generate Cu oxide in the Cu plating films, to make the multilayer ceramic electronic component. 2. The method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 1,065° C. or more in an atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of 50 ppm or more.
