Benefits of technology

[0012] The present invention has been made to solve the foregoing problems of the prior art and it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide dielectric ceramic powder having fine particles and uniform particle size distribution, and high tetragonal crystalinity.
[0015] As identified above, solid state reaction is the most economical method for producing BaTiO3 powder having fine particles and uniform particle size, and high tetragonality to manufacture a high-capacity MLCC.
[0017] This increases unevenness of particles in case where fine BaTiO3 powder is produced via solid state reaction to laminate dielectric layers.

Problems solved by technology

This method has the advantage of directly producing spherical crystal BaTiO3 sized about 100 nm but has the disadvantage of difficult design and maintenance of a reactor, and expensive manufacturing cost.
Furthermore, recently, BaTiO3 powder produced by hydrothermal synthesis has revealed significant defects such as oxygen vacancy and barium vacancy, which develop into pores in the case of heat treatment, thus deteriorating properties of BaTiO3 powder.
However this method has drawbacks in that a synthesis device is hard to configure, and alkoxide reagent used as starting material is expensive.
Furthermore, material cost is expensive due to use of alcohol solvent, and complicated process conditions such as synthesis temperature hamper mass productions.
But BaTiO3 manufactured by solid state reaction reportedly does not exhibit uniform particle size distribution compared to BTO manufactured via other methods described above.
However despite dispersion of each element, the acicular shape of barium compounds remains unchanged, leading to inevitable contact among barium compounds due to their morphological properties.
Consequently, there is a limit in obtaining optimal degree of mixing with titanium dioxide.
However according to the aforesaid technology, disadvantageously, such dry-milling does not reduce the number of BaCO3 particles, and high stress placed on BaCO3 does not disperse BaCO3 particles properly, thus leading to agglomeration.
Large specific surface area of powder, or small particle size results in uniform dispersion, but BaCO3 according to the aforesaid technology does not diminish particle numbers, rendering uniform mixing with TiO2 difficult.
Thus, BaTiO3 powder finally obtained agglomerates heavily among primary particles and forms secondary particles relatively bigger than primary particles, also causing uneven particle distribution of powder.
BaTiO3 powder with such properties may be hardly dispersible when applied to the MLCC, and unsuitable for the dielectric ceramic use for up to 1 μm lamination to ensure a high-capacity capacitor.

example 1

[0070] BaCO3 raw powder having a specific surface area of 20 m2 / g was prepared. Some of BaCO3 raw powder was dispersed into a mixed solution of distilled water and polyacrylic dispersant to manufacture BaCO3 slurry. BaCO3 raw powder was dispersed into the solution to such an extent that the BaCO3 slurry would contain 10 to 60 wt % BaCO3. The slurry was wet-milled for 18 hours via beads mill type equipment that uses zirconia beads with a diameter of 0.3 mm as milling media. During wet-milling, considering a sudden increase in viscosity in accordance with decrease in BaCO3 particle numbers, ammonia was added after 8 hour milling to reduce viscosity. A specific surface area of the wet-milled BaCO3 powder was 31 m2 / g, a significant increase from the initial one, and the particles had almost a spherical shape.

[0071] Field Emission (FE-SEM) picture before and after wet-milling BaCO3 is shown in FIG. 4(a-b). As shown in the aforesaid FIG. 4(a-b), wet-milling changed BaCO3 from acicular po...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing dielectric ceramic powder and a multilayer ceramic capacitor using the ceramic powder. According to the invention, BaCO3 powder is dispersed into a solution of solvent and dispersant to prepare BaCO3 slurry and then the resultant BaCO3 slurry is wet-milled. Also, TiO2 powder slurry is mixed into the wet-milled BaCO3 slurry to form mixed slurry and then the mixed slurry is dried into mixed powder. Finally, the dried mixed powder is calcined to produce BaTiO3 powder.
