Abstract

A method for producing an electric component ( 19 ) is specified, wherein in a step A) a body ( 1 ) having at least one cavity ( 7, 8 ) is provided. In a step B), the cavity ( 7, 8 ) is at least partly filled with a liquid insulation material ( 13 ) by means of capillary forces. Furthermore, an electric component ( 19 ) is specified wherein a cavity ( 7, 8 ) is at least partly filled with an insulation material ( 13 ). The insulation material ( 13 ) is introduced into the cavity ( 7, 8 ) by means of capillary forces. Furthermore, an electric component ( 19 ) is specified wherein a cavity ( 7, 8 ) is at least partly filled with an organic insulation material ( 13 ) and wherein the cavity is at least partly covered by a fired external contacting ( 17, 18 ).

Claims (17)

1. A method for producing an electric component comprising the following steps:

A) providing a body having at least one cavity; and

B) at least partly filling the cavity with an insulation material by means of capillary forces,

wherein the body is introduced into the insulation material only by one of the side surfaces of the body and the insulation material then migrates into the cavity on account of capillary forces.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity is etched into the body.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before step B) external contacting is applied to the body.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the external contact-connection at least partly covers the cavity.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after step B) external contacting is applied to the body.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the external contacting is fired.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation material comprises lacquer or glass.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body has at least one electrode layer and wherein the cavity adjoins the electrode layer.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body has at least one electrode layer and wherein after step B) the insulation material covers at least one end of the electrode layer.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity does not adjoin an electrode layer.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein parts of the body are covered before step B).

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body is separated into a plurality of main bodies for electric components after step B).

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body has cavities on different side surfaces and wherein the insulation material is introduced into the cavities on the different side surfaces in a single-stage method.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body is introduced at least partly into the liquid insulation material in step B).
