Abstract

A multi-layer component having a main body including a stack of alternately arranged dielectric layers and internal electrode layers. In an insulation region on the outer sides of the main body a length of a connecting line between adjacent internal electrode layers of unlike polarity is greater than a direct distance between the adjacent electrode layers. A method for producing a multi-layer component is also provided. The method includes providing a main body including a stack of alternately arranged dielectric layers and internal electrode layers. The method also includes extending the connecting line between adjacent internal electrode layers of unlike polarity on the outer sides of the main body.

Claims (12)

1. A multi-layer component, having a main body comprising a stack of alternately arranged dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, wherein in an insulation region on the outer sides of the main body a length of a connecting line between adjacent internal electrode layers of unlike polarity is greater than a direct distance between the adjacent electrode layers, where in the insulation region a metal salt is arranged between the internal electrode layers and the outer sides of the main body, wherein the metal salt is arranged only in the insulation region between the internal electrode layers and the outer sides of the main body, and wherein the dielectric layers are free of the metal salt.

2. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein in the insulation region the internal electrode layers do not reach as far as an outer side of the main body.

3. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein air gaps are arranged between the ends of the internal electrode layers and the outer sides of the main body.

4. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein in the insulation region a dielectric is arranged between the internal electrode layers and the outer sides of the main body.

5. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein in a contacting region on the outer sides of the main body that is intended for applying outer contacting layers at least every second internal electrode layer extends as far as the outer side of the main body.

6. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein in the insulation region the internal electrode layers are at a distance of 250 μm to 400 μm from an outer side of the main body.

7. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein in the insulation region the internal electrode layers have an etched surface.

8. The Multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation region is a region in which the outer sides of the main body are not covered.

9. The Multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein in the insulation region no outer contacting is applied to the main body.

10. The multi-layer component according to claim 2 , wherein air gaps are arranged between the ends of the internal electrode layers and the outer sides of the main body.

11. The multi-layer component according to claim 4 , wherein in a contacting region on the outer sides of the main body that is intended for applying outer contacting layers at least every second internal electrode layer extends as far as the outer side of the main body.

12. The multi-layer component according to claim 2 , wherein in the insulation region the internal electrode layers have an etched surface.
