Abstract

An attempt was made to improve the conventional lamination process in the multilayered ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) fabrication by adapting a solvent treatment on the BaTiO3 green sheets. During the lamination process, additional particle rearrangement in the BaTiO3 green block was stimulated by solvent treatment. This rearrangement resulted in a more compact structure of the BaTiO3 green sheets compared to that obtained through the conventional lamination process. The overall thickness of BaTiO3/Ni/BaTiO3 laminates was also reduced after solvent treatment. It is suggested that miniaturization in the fabrication of MLCCs can be improved by adapting a solvent treatment during the lamination process.
