2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electronic devices used in high-frequency regions such as millimeter waves and microwaves, such as mobile communications such as mobile phones, car phones, and personal radios, and satellite broadcast receivers, have been rapidly increasing. Is progressing. Capacitors mounted on electronic devices used in these high frequency regions,
Devices such as filters and resonators are required to further improve high-frequency characteristics. The high-frequency characteristics required for a device used in a high-frequency region include a large relative dielectric constant, a large Q value, a small change in dielectric constant with temperature, and the possibility of low-temperature sintering.

For example, in the case of a resonator used in a high frequency region, it is often used that the wavelength in a dielectric is shortened in proportion to the reciprocal of the square root of the dielectric constant. This is because the length can be shortened in proportion to the reciprocal of the square root of the permittivity. In the high-frequency dielectric material, a quality factor (Q) defined by Q = 1 / tan δ is used as an evaluation criterion of dielectric energy loss caused by a phase delay (δ) due to frequency. A large Q value means that the dielectric loss is small. Further, in a device such as a capacitor, a filter, or a resonator, it is desired that the change in the dielectric constant with temperature be as small as possible (that is, the temperature coefficient (TC) is as small as possible) in order to minimize the temperature change in the resonance frequency.
In order to reduce the size of electronic devices, surface-proven devices with a built-in fuselage electrode are becoming mainstream. In this case, in order to suppress the characteristic loss of the device, Ag or Ag is used as a conductor electrode. It is preferable to use Cu. However, Ag and Cu have a low melting point and cannot withstand high-temperature sintering at 1200 to 1400 ° C. when manufacturing dielectric porcelain. Therefore, it is desired that sintering can be performed at a lower temperature of 1000 ° C. or less from the viewpoint of the electrode configuration or from the viewpoint of energy cost.

Conventionally, as a small-sized and large-capacity capacitor, a porcelain capacitor (ceramic capacitor) utilizing dielectric properties of ceramics has been known. This porcelain capacitor includes rutile type TiO ₂ , perovskite type BaTiO ₃ , MgTiO ₃ , CaTiO ₃ , SrTiO 2
Capacitors having desired characteristics have been obtained by using a single dielectric material such as ₃ or a combination thereof. Further, as a ceramic capacitor having quality characteristics such as a large relative dielectric constant required for a device used in the above-described high-frequency region, a large Q value, and a small temperature change of the dielectric constant, BaO- Nd ₂ O ₃ -TiO ₂

See JP) and _{BaO-Nd 2 O 3 -Sm 2} O 3 -PrO 2
-TiO ₂ (see JP-A-2000-290068) and the like are known.

[0005] Porcelain capacitors are classified into single-layer type and multilayer type. The single-layer porcelain capacitor is formed by pressing a powder of the above-mentioned material into a compact such as, for example, a pellet (disc-like), a rod (cylindrical), or a chip (square-shaped). It can be obtained by baking at a temperature of 1200 to 1400 ° C. in the inside to form a sintered body, and forming electrodes on both front and back surfaces of the sintered body.

[0006] Further, the laminated ceramic capacitor is prepared by kneading a powder of the above-mentioned material, an organic binder and an organic solvent to form a slurry. The slurry is formed into a sheet by a doctor blade method, and then degreased to form a green sheet. After printing an electrode made of a noble metal such as Pt or Pd on the sheet, these green sheets are overlapped in the thickness direction and pressed to form a laminate.
It can be obtained by firing at a temperature of 200 to 1400 ° C.

[0007]

However, the above-mentioned conventional ceramic capacitors have disadvantages such as low relative dielectric constant, large dielectric loss and low insulation resistance in the microwave region. As described above, a device used in a high-frequency region requires a dense sintered body having excellent electrical characteristics. In order to obtain such a dense sintered body,
Firing at a high temperature of 200 to 1,400 ° C. is required, which increases energy costs and causes cost increase.
In particular, in the case of a laminated ceramic capacitor, when a base metal is used as an electrode material, the base metal is oxidized during high-temperature firing to form a high-resistance layer between ceramic layers. It is necessary to use a noble metal material such as Pd, and there is a problem that cost reduction is hindered. Even in the above-mentioned known dielectric ceramic composition for a high-frequency region, the sintering temperature is at most 920 ° C.,
The relative permittivity and Q value are large, the temperature change of the permittivity is small,
In addition, a dielectric ceramic composition having all the characteristics of achieving low-temperature sintering has not been obtained.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a small and large-capacity porcelain capacitor used in a microwave region, which has a high relative dielectric constant and a small dielectric loss. Dielectric porcelain composition, which has characteristics and can be used as a base metal as an electrode material by realizing firing at a low temperature, thereby greatly reducing the production cost, and a porcelain capacitor using the same. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing the same.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, the reasons for limiting the composition of the dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention will be described. The dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention has barium oxide (BaO), neodymium oxide (Nd ₂ O ₃ ) and titanium oxide (TiO) as main components.
₂ ) It is composed of three components. BaO, Nd ₂ O ₃ and TiO
₍₂₎ The molar fractions x, y, and z of each component are respectively 0.05 ≦ x ≦
0.30, 0.05 ≦ y ≦ 0.20, 0.65 ≦ z ≦
0.75 (however, x + y + z = 1). If the content of BaO is 5 mol% or less, the relative permittivity and the Q value are reduced. Further, when BaO is 30 mol% or more, the relative dielectric constant increases, but the temperature coefficient (TC) of the dielectric constant increases and the Q value decreases. When Nd ₂ O ₃ is 5 mol% or less, the relative permittivity increases, but the temperature coefficient (TC) of the permittivity increases, resulting in a decrease in the Q value. If Nd ₂ O ₃ is 20 mol% or more, low-temperature sintering during production becomes difficult, and the relative dielectric constant decreases. When the TiO ₂ content is 65 mol% or less, the temperature coefficient (TC) of the dielectric constant increases, and the Q value decreases. In addition, TiO ₂
If it is 75 mol% or more, low-temperature sintering during production becomes difficult. Accordingly, the appropriate molar fraction range of the main composition is determined as described above.

The dielectric porcelain composition of the present invention comprises, in addition to the above main composition, 0.05 to 8 wt% of copper oxide (CuO) as a main component and zinc oxide (ZnO) as a main component as a subcomponent. 0.01 to 5% by weight, and 0.1 to 10% by weight of the glass composition based on the main component. All of these sub-components act as sintering aids, and by containing these sub-components in an appropriate range,
The firing temperature can be reduced from a conventional high temperature of 1,200 to 1,400 ° C to a low temperature of 850 to 1,050 ° C. If the content of CuO is 0.05 wt% or less, the effect of low-temperature sinterability is not obtained, and the Q value is reduced. Also, 8w
Above t%, the Q value and insulation resistance are reduced. If ZnO is 0.01 wt% or less, the effect of low-temperature sinterability cannot be obtained, and the Q value is reduced. If the content is 5 wt% or more, the relative permittivity and the Q value are reduced.

In the dielectric porcelain composition of the present invention, the glass composition does not adversely affect the properties even when added, has good wettability with the components of the main composition, and has a 850 to 850 composition. Glass softening and / or melting at a temperature of 1050 ° C. is preferred, for example Bi ₂ O ₃ —S
Using the iO ₂ based glass or _{Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3} -SiO 2 based glass or the like. The glass composition has an effect of promoting low-temperature sinterability, and is added as a sintering aid.
The addition amount is suitably from 0.1 to 10% by weight. The reason is that if the addition amount is 0.1 wt% or less, there is no effect of promoting the low-temperature sinterability, and if the addition amount is 10 wt% or more, the Q value decreases and the insulation resistance decreases. Therefore, the component range of the subcomponent was set as described above.

In the dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention,
A first additive is added to the main composition of the dielectric ceramic composition.

If it is more than wt%, the low-temperature sinterability will be impaired.

In the dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention, a small amount of PbO or Bi ₂ O ₃ may be added as the _second additive. A small amount of PbO or Bi ₂ O ₃ is effective in promoting low-temperature sintering, and also improves the relative dielectric constant. If the amount exceeds 3 wt%, the insulation resistance decreases and Q
It is not preferable because it causes a decrease in the value.

The dielectric porcelain composition of the present invention is characterized in that
In addition to the additive described above, aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O ₃ ) may be further added as a _third additive.
By adding a small amount of Al ₂ O ₃ , the quality factor (Q value)
Can be increased. The proper addition amount of Al ₂ O ₃ is 0.005 to 2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the dielectric ceramic composition comprising the main composition and the sub-composition.
Alternatively, when the first additive is included, the amount is 0.005 to 2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the dielectric porcelain composition comprising the main composition, the auxiliary composition, and the first additive.
If the amount of Al ₂ O ₃ is less than 0.005 parts by weight, the effect cannot be exerted.
This is because the value decreases. Therefore, the appropriate addition amount of Al ₂ O ₃ is 0.005 to 2 parts by weight.

In order to obtain the dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention, a predetermined amount of each component is weighed so that the above-mentioned main component composition is obtained, and a predetermined amount is mixed with a dispersion medium comprising an organic solvent such as water, ethanol or acetone. It is accommodated in a ball mill, mixed and pulverized for a predetermined time, for example, 4 to 24 hours, and then dried after dehydration or deorganizing solvent. Next, this dried powder is calcined at a temperature of 1000 to 1400 ° C. for 1 to 24 hours. Next, a predetermined amount of subcomponents and additives as necessary are added to the calcined main component, a dispersion medium such as water is added, and the mixture is uniformly mixed and pulverized to obtain a fine powder having an average particle size of 1 μm or less. Thereafter, this fine powder is dehydrated and dried, and
Calcination is performed at a temperature of 0 to 800 ° C. for 1 to 15 hours. afterwards,
Pulverize until the average particle size becomes 0.8 μm or less. Next, after adding an appropriate amount of an organic binder and the like to the obtained calcined fine powder and mixing uniformly, for example, a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 2 m

It is fired for up to 24 hours to obtain a dielectric ceramic composition. As the organic binder, in addition to a PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) aqueous solution, an ethyl cellulose aqueous solution, an acrylic resin aqueous solution (acrylic binder) and the like can be used.

The dielectric porcelain composition of the present invention is preferably 850-1.
There is a feature obtained by firing at a temperature of 050 ° C., which is lower than the conventional temperature. The dielectric porcelain composition obtained as described above has a high relative dielectric constant in the microwave region, a low dielectric loss, and a high insulation resistance. This is extremely useful for devices that use

Next, the porcelain capacitor of the present invention will be described. The ceramic capacitor of the present invention has a high relative dielectric constant even in a high frequency band such as a microwave, a small dielectric loss, and a temperature of the dielectric constant by using the above-described dielectric ceramic composition according to the present invention. It is a porcelain capacitor with a small coefficient and stable characteristics. In addition, since the dielectric ceramic composition is used, it can be fired at a temperature lower than the conventional temperature of 850 to 1050 ° C., and an inexpensive base metal or a carbon-based material can be used for the internal electrode, and the production can be performed. Cost can be reduced.

As the base metal, a metal having a characteristic as a conductor and having high reliability, for example, copper (Cu),
A metal or alloy containing one or more selected from metals such as nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo) is preferable. In addition, as carbon-based materials, carbon (amorphous carbon), graphite (graphite,
Graphite) or mixtures thereof are preferred.

Next, a predetermined amount of an organic binder was added to the calcined fine powder and uniformly mixed, and then a pellet having a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 2 mm was formed using a pressure molding machine. As the organic binder, a PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) aqueous solution was used. Next, the granulated powder was formed into a pellet having a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 2 mm using a molding machine. next,
The pellets are placed in air at a temperature of
Firing was carried out for up to 24 hours to obtain a disc-shaped dielectric ceramic composition sintered body.

Next, a predetermined amount of an organic binder, a dispersant, and an organic solvent are added to both surfaces of the dielectric ceramic composition sintered body obtained as described above, and the mixture is kneaded to obtain an appropriate viscosity. The conductive paste was printed in a predetermined pattern and fired in a nitrogen gas to form a terminal electrode. Thus, a single-layer type ceramic capacitor was obtained. The electrical characteristics of the ceramic capacitor thus obtained were measured. Tables 3 and 4 show the measurement results.

[Table 4]

Here, the relative dielectric constant (ε) was measured at 25 ° C. under the conditions of 1 MHz and 1 Vrms. The quality factor (Q) was measured under the conditions of 1 MHz and 25 ° C. The temperature characteristic (TC) was obtained by measuring the capacitance C1 at 25 ° C. and the capacitance C2 at 125 ° C., respectively, and substituting these measured values into the following equation to calculate the temperature characteristic (Tc). TC (ppm / ° C.) = ((C2−C1) × 10 ⁶ ) /
(C1 × (125-25)) The specific resistance (R (Ω · cm)) is 1000 at 25 ° C.
The current value one minute after the application of the V DC voltage was measured, and the specific resistance was calculated from the voltage value and the current value.

Tables 3 and 4 show that Sample Nos. 1 and 2
Since the amounts of BaO and TiO _{2 as} the main components are inappropriate, the density of the sintered body is low, the relative permittivity is low, or the temperature coefficient of the relative permittivity is large. Sample Nos. 4 and 5 have a low relative dielectric constant, a large temperature coefficient of the relative dielectric constant, and a low density of the sintered body due to an inappropriate amount of Nd ₂ O _{3 as} a main component. In sample No. 12, the addition amount of Al ₂ O _{3 as} the _second additive was too large, so that low-temperature sintering was difficult and the density of the sintered body was low. Sample number 13
However, the sintering temperature is too low to obtain a sufficient sintering density. In sample No. 17, the Q value and the insulation resistance were low and the temperature coefficient of the relative permittivity was large because the added amount of the glass component was too large. In sample No. 18, since the added amount of the glass component was too small, the low-temperature sinterability was not improved, the density of the sintered body was low, and the relative dielectric constant was low.

In sample No. 19, the addition amount of CuO as a minor component was small, so that the low-temperature sinterability was not improved, and the density of the sintered body was low and the Q value was low. Conversely, Sample No. 20 has a large addition amount of CuO as a subcomponent, so that the insulation resistance is reduced and the temperature coefficient of the relative permittivity is large. In Sample Nos. 21 and 22, the insulation resistance was low because the additive amount of ZnO as an accessory component was inappropriate, the temperature coefficient of the relative dielectric constant was large, and the low-temperature sinterability was poor, and the density was low. The rate is also lower. In Sample No. 23, since the proportion of TiO _{2 as} the main composition was too large, the low-temperature sinterability deteriorated, the density of the sintered body was low, and the relative dielectric constant was low. In Sample Nos. 25 and 26, the Q value was low and the temperature coefficient (TC) of the relative permittivity was large because the addition amount of PbO or ZnO as the second additive component was inappropriate.
Sample Nos. 29 and 30 have poor low-temperature sinterability, low density, low relative dielectric constant and low Q value because the amount of rare earth oxide added as the first additive is inappropriate. Become. As described above, it is clear that the ceramic capacitor of the comparative example is inferior to any one of the relative dielectric constant (ε), the quality factor (Q), and the temperature characteristic (TC) of the ceramic capacitor of the present invention.

On the other hand, as is clear from Tables 3 and 4, the porcelain capacitor of the present invention has a high relative dielectric constant (ε), a high quality factor (Q) and a high insulation resistance even in a high-frequency region, and has a high dielectric constant. It can be seen that the temperature coefficient (TC) of each is small, and all are stable. 850-900 ° C
Even at low temperature sintering, a sintered body having a sufficiently high density can be obtained, and satisfactory electric characteristics have been obtained. Further, when the surface state of the ceramic capacitor of the present invention was observed using a metallographic microscope, no voids were observed at the grain boundaries, and it was confirmed that the sintered body was a dense sintered body.

[0047]

As described above, according to the porcelain capacitor of the present invention, a high relative permittivity and a high quality factor are realized even in a high frequency region, and the temperature coefficient of the relative permittivity is small, and good characteristics are obtained. Can be expressed. Therefore, characteristics in a high frequency region such as a microwave are stabilized, and the reliability of the device in a high frequency region is improved.

Further, since firing can be performed at a low temperature of 855 to 1050 ° C., an inexpensive base metal or carbon-based substance can be used for the internal electrodes, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced without lowering the characteristics. Furthermore, since low-temperature sintering is possible, the energy cost required for sintering and the sintering time can be significantly reduced, so that devices can be supplied at low cost.
