A mechanically stable main body having a cutout, into which an ESD protection element is at least partly embedded and mechanically fixed by means of a connection means. Electrical terminals of the protection element are connected to terminal pads on the top side of the main body by way of a structured metallic layer bearing on main body and protection element.

Component substrate having a protective function

A multi-LED system is disclosed. In an embodiment a multi-LED system includes a ceramic multilayer substrate in which at least two ESD protection structures are integrated, at least two light-emitting diodes arranged on the substrate and at least two capping layers covering one of the light-emitting diodes.

Multi-LED system

A green film composed of varistor material laminated on a ceramic main body, which is provided with metallizations on both sides, and is sintered to form a varistor layer. A terminating electrode pair completes the arrangement and allows the varistor layer to be operated as a varistor. The upper second electrode pair can serve directly as a terminal contact for mounting an electrical component.

Component carrier having an ESD protective function and method for producing same

A method for patterning a layer stack with at least one ceramic layer includes providing the ceramic layer, which has at least one plated-through hole. An electrically conductive layer is applied above the ceramic layer, such that the electrically conductive layer is electrically coupled to the at least one plated-through hole. A further layer is deposited onto the electrically conductive layer in the region of the at least one plated-through hole, wherein the further layer includes nickel. The electrically conductive layer is removed outside the region of the at least one plated-through hole. A carrier device patterned in this way can be electrically and mechanically coupled to an electronic component.

Carrier device, arrangement comprising such a carrier device, and method for patterning a layer stack comprising at least one ceramic layer

A multilayer component includes a dielectric ceramic material that can be co-sintered with a varistor ceramic to form a monolithic multilayer component according to the invention. The multilayer component therefore includes a layer of a varistor ceramic and another layer of a dielectric. Both layers can be arranged directly adjacent to one another in the multilayer component. In the multilayer component, metallizations are arranged on or between the ceramic layers. The metallizations are structured to form conductor sections and metallized areas. The metallizations form together with the ceramic layers alongside a varistor at least one further component selected from at least one of the component functions.
