Termination is applied by dipping in a paste. Metallization pastes for the ends of the capacitors are a suspension of fine metal powder in an organic binder with the addition of diluents and plasticizers to obtain the required working viscosity of the paste.
The plating process was the final procedure for manufacturing multilayer ceramic capacitor. For the purpose of applying in the surface mounting technology, tin should be covered outside the end-termination. First layer plated is nickel (∼2 μm) at 12 A for 120 min, and plating solution is nickel sulfonate.
A ceramic capacitor chip Ceramic chips for surface mounting looks in principle like the one in Figure C2-74. MLCCs are by far the leading downsizing and miniaturization technology among passive components. Chart bellow is illustrating shift of the case size mix in MLCCs.
The most common design of a ceramic capacitor is the multi layer construction where the capacitor elements are stacked as shown in Figure C2-70, so called MLCC (Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor). The number of layers has to be limited for reasons of the manufacturing technique. The upper limit amounts at present to over 1000.
C 2.9.1 Construction The capacitors consist, as the name tells us, of some kind of ceramic. The manufacturing process starts with a finely grounded ceramic powder mixed to an emulsion of solvents and resin binders.

This termination differs from conventional materials in that the frit which bonds the termination to the capacitor must be chemically resistant to the plating solutions and thus is bismuth free. (Such frits do not promote solderability; hence, units with this termination are unsolderable unless properly plated with nickel and solder.) Immediately after the nickel …
