Abstract
The electrical multilayer component includes a base body with external electrodes and internal electrodes. A ceramic varistor layer is provided with the first internal electrode, and a dielectric layer adjoins the varistor layer. The dielectric layer has at least one opening filled with a semiconducting material or a metal.
Claims19
An electrical multilayer component comprising:
- a base body with external electrodes;
- internal electrodes, each internal electrode electrically conductively connected to one of the external electrodes;
- a ceramic varistor layer provided with one of the internal electrodes;
- and
- a dielectric layer adjoining the varistor layer,
- wherein the internal electrodes are arranged on mutually opposite sides of the dielectric layer, and
- wherein the dielectric layer has an opening between the internal electrodes, the opening filled with a semiconducting material or a metal, such that the semiconducting material or the metal present in the opening adjoins the dielectric layer in which the opening is formed and also the varistor layer but is not directly electrically connected to the electrodes.
