A monolithic capacitor having a dielectric ceramic body cosintered with at least two base metal electrodes. The ceramic body is composed of a major ingredient expressed by the formula,

Solid dielectric capacitor and method of manufacture

A monolithic capacitor having a dielectric ceramic body cosintered with at least two base metal electrodes. The ceramic body is composed of a major ingredient expressed by the formula, (1-.alpha.){(Ba.sub.k-x M.sub.x)O.sub.k TiO.sub.2 }+.alpha.CaZrO.sub.3 where M is either or both of calcium and strontium, and .alpha., k and y are numerals in specified ranges. To this major ingredient is added a minor proportion of a mixture of lithium oxide, silicon dioxide and at least one metal oxide selected from among barium oxide, strontium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide and zinc oxide. For the fabrication of capacitors the mixture of the above major ingredients and additives in finely divided form are formed into moldings of desired shape and size, each with at least two electrodes buried therein. The moldings and electrodes are cosintered in a reductive or neutral atmosphere at temperatures of less than 1200.degree. C. and then are reheated at a lower temperature in an oxidative atmosphere.

Low temperature sintered ceramic capacitor having a high resistivity and

A temperature compensating capacitor of monolithic or multilayered configuration comprising a dielectric ceramic body and at least two electrodes buried therein. The ceramic body is composed of a major ingredient expressed by the formula, (CaO).sub.k.(Zr.sub.1-x Ti.sub.x)O, where k and x are numerals in the ranges of 0.8 to 1.3 inclusive and of zero to 0.3 inclusive, respectively. To this major ingredient is added a minor proportion of a mixture of boric oxide, silicon dioxide, and one or more metal oxides selected from among barium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, strontium oxide and calcium oxide. For the fabrication of capacitors the mixture of the above major ingredient and additives in finely divided form are formed into moldings of desired shape and size, each with at least two electrodes buried therein. The moldings and electrodes are cosintered in a reductive or neutral atmosphere and then are reheated at a lower temperature in an oxidative atmosphere. The cosintering temperature can be so low that nickel or like base metal can be employed as the electrode material.
