A radio-frequency (RF) power variable capacitor capable of operating at, at least, 50 watts in the MHz range. The capacitor has a composite HDK-NDK ceramic dielectric. The HDK (high dielectric constant) component comprises an active matrix of barium strontium titanate, for example. Acoustic resonances are reduced or eliminated by the addition of a metal or metalloid oxide such as magnesium borate (NDK—low dielectric constant), which acts as an acoustic resonance reduction agent (ARRA) in the RF power domain. The acoustic resonances which previously occurred under bias voltage 500 V or 1100 V in prior art RF power variable capacitors are eliminated by the addition of the ARRA.

The present disclosure relates to a process to integrate sintered components in a laminate substrate. The disclosed process starts with providing a precursor substrate, which includes a substrate body having an opening through the substrate body, and a first foil layer. Herein, the first foil layer is formed underneath the substrate body, so as to fully cover a bottom of the opening. Next, a sinterable base material is applied into the opening and over the first foil layer, and then sintered at a first sintering temperature to create a sintered base component. A sinterable contact material is applied over the sintered base component, and then sintered at a second sintering temperature to create a sintered contact film. The sintered base component is confined within the opening by the substrate body on sides, by the first foil layer on bottom, and by the sintered contact film on top.

A multilayer ceramic capacitor include: a ceramic body including first and second surfaces opposing each other and third and fourth surfaces connecting the first and second surfaces; a plurality of internal electrodes disposed inside the ceramic body and exposed to the first and second surfaces, the plurality internal electrodes each having one end exposed to the third or fourth surface; and first and second side margin portions disposed on sides of the internal electrodes exposed to the first and second surfaces. A dielectric composition of the first and second side margin portions is different from a dielectric composition of the ceramic body, and a dielectric constant of the first and second side margin portions is lower than a dielectric constant of the ceramic body.

A process for preparing a porous ceramic body includes forming a green body with a mixture of ceramic material powder, binder material, and pore-forming particles. The process further includes extracting the binder material, decomposing the pore-forming particles, and removing residual organic materials from the green body at respective, progressively higher pre-firing temperatures. After these three stages, the green body is sintered at a still-higher temperature to form the porous ceramic body. Embodiments facilitate manufacturing and can render most or all surface grinding unnecessary, allowing electrode deposition directly onto substantially non-porous surfaces of the porous ceramic body that are naturally formed during sintering. Advantageously, the green body may be formed into net shape by injection molding the mixture that includes the pore-forming particles, and embodiments can result in porous ceramic bodies that are much thicker than currently available, with better structural integrity.
