- Figure 1 illustrates one embodiment of a composite RC device constructed in accordance with the present invention.
- a composite RC device 10 is shown mounted to a printed circuit board 12.
- Device 10 includes a body 14 having terminals 16 and 18 of opposite polarity located at the respective ends thereof.
- Terminals 16 and 18 are electrically connected to respective conductive paths 20 and 22 defined on the surface of printed circuit board 12. Electrical connection between each terminal and its associated conductive path may be effected by respective solder beads 24 and 26. Circuit board 12 may be made from a lo -temperature organic material, with the solder often being a low temperature eutectic solder applied by wave or reflow soldering techniques.
- the dimensions of RC device 10 may be selected to correspond with a standard size in which discrete MLCs have been produced.
- the size of a MLC is generally expressed as a number "XXYY, " with XX and YY being the width or length in hundredths of an inch.
- the side, i.e., width or length, to which the terminals are applied is XX, with YY expressing the other dimension.
- Some typical sizes under this practice are 1206, 1210, 0805, 0603 and 1812.
- Aspect ratios (defined as the ratio of the height to the longer of the width or the length) of less than 1:1, and often less than 0.5:1, are not uncommon.
- body 14 Like a MLC of the prior art, body 14 includes a plurality of first electrode plates 28 interleaved in opposed and spaced apart relation with a plurality of second electrode plates 30.
- the electrode plates are separated by layers (such as layers 32) of ceramic material to provide a predetermined dielectric constant .
- each set of alternate electrode plates is connected directly to one of the opposite polarity terminals.
- the connection between each electrode plate 28 and terminal 16, however, is achieved through a respective resistive element 34.
- Resistive elements 36 likewise provide electrical connection between terminal 18 and respective electrode plates 30.
- Figure IB illustrates in greater detail the relationship between a respective electrode plate 28 and its associated resistive element 34.
- electrode plate 28 is located on ceramic layer 32 and sized such that a border of ceramic remains on all sides.
- Resistive element 34 overlies a portion of plate 28, and from there extends to terminal 16. It will be appreciated that each plate 30 and its associated resistive element 36 are similarly arranged but connected to terminal 18.
- RC device 10 The electrical operation of RC device 10 can be most easily explained with reference to Figure 1C.
- opposing electrode plates 28 and 30 form a plurality of two-plate capacitors 38 (here designated as capacitors C x through C n , respectively) .
- Resistors 34 are located on one electrical side of each capacitor 38, such that odd numbered resistors R 1; R 3 , R 5 , etc. electrically connect this side of the capacitor structure to terminal 16.
- Resistors 36 are located on the opposite electrical side of capacitors 38, whereby terminal 18 is electrically connected to this side of the capacitor structure via even numbered resistors R 2 , R 4 , R n , etc.
- RC device 10 is preferably manufactured utilizing multilayer ceramic techniques.
- a "green" ceramic tape 40 is first printed with a plurality of electrode plates, such as plates 42, typically utilizing an Ag or Ag/Pd ink. Resistive ink is next applied between alternating pairs of electrode plates to produce respective resistors, such as resistor 44. Layers of the tape are then stacked such that electrode plates of each additional layer will overlay plates of the layer below to form a capacitor structure. The resistive ink of adjacent layers, however, will be located on opposite electrical sides of the capacitor structure. In many cases, this results in a configuration wherein respective resistors of adjacent layers are aligned with one another on opposite sides of the electrode plates, as can be seen by noting the relationship between resistor 44 and underlying resistor 46.
- Typical prior art MLC devices generally utilize high-temperature ceramics that often require firing temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius. Such temperatures, however, are unsuitable with resistive inks of the type preferably utilized to form the resistors of the present invention.
- device 10 preferably utilizes a LTCC having a firing temperature of less than approximately 850 degrees Celsius. Suitable LTCC materials are available from Ferro Corporation of Santa Barbara, CA and DuPont Photopolymer & Electronic Materials of Research Triangle Park, NC.
- FIG. 1A illustrates a device 10' in which plates 28' and 30' are shifted left with respect to their ideal center position.
- a multiple parallel resistor structure as described above is advantageous to generally achieve a more consistent resistance value in the RC device.
- undesired unit-to-unit variations in nominal resistance can often be produced during manufacture of a single resistor.
- the thickness or width of the resistive ink may vary slightly from one unit to the next.
- the overall resistance will tend to achieve a more predictable average value.
- FIGS 4A and 4B illustrate an alternative RC device 48 having a device body 50 on which opposite polarity terminals 52 and 54 are located.

A resistor 80 is located on one electrical side of each capacitor 84, whereby terminal 66 is electrically connected to this side of the capacitor structure via resistors designated R 1;
- terminals 68 and 70 function as a single electrical terminal, thus allowing a "tap" between the capacitance and the resistance for connection to external circuitry as desired. While two lateral terminals 68 and 70 have been provided in the illustrated embodiment for purposes of convenience, one of skill in the art will appreciate that device 60 may be equipped with only one lateral terminal.
- Device 86 includes a device body 88 having located thereon opposite polarity terminals 90 and 92.
- Device body 88 further includes a connecting via 94, resembling a terminal, located on one lateral side thereof.

- Device 86 further includes an embedded resistor 102 electrically connected between terminal 92 and via 94.
