Capacitor with non-noble metal electrodes and method of making the same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of Disclosure, A ceramic capacitor having electrodes. The capacitor is formed by cosintering layers of ceramic dielectric and layers of non-noble metal material indifferent to the dielectric layers corresponding in area and position to the electrodes. The indifferent layers are converted to a conductive state for example, by chemical conversion and used as such or are removed and replaced by metal or conductive material. One example in which the indifferent layers comprise nickel oxide involves stacking layers of green ceramic coated with nickel oxide in the desired electrode pattern sintering the stacked, layers to produce a monolith reducing the nickel oxide in the, monolith to …
