Abstract

Deformation behavior of multi-layered ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) during production press process is very important to reduce over all MLCC size and increase the capacity of the MLCC through the enlargement of the electrode area. In this study, compression tests of MLCC blocks, which were composed of stacked ceramic dielectric sheets and printed internal electrodes, were carried out, and the deformation process was clarified based on the results of cross-sectional observation. Deformation of MLCC block was modeled and predicted using the area fraction of dielectric sheets, internal electrodes, and internal space. The prediction agreed well with the experimental results and helps the optimization of MLCC design.
