Abstract
The effect of the producing process on the mechanical property of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCs) has been studied. It is shown that the barrel finishing before termination made mechanical deterioration on MLCs, and the heat treatment after barrel finishing made recovered that. The X-ray diffraction profiles of MLCs surface were broadened and shifted to lower angle side after barrel finishing, and that was recovered after heat treatment. Besides only one side of MLCs finishing made deterioration of mechanical property. Therefore these deteriorations were attributed to the internal stress at inner part of MLCs.
