The effect of rare earth oxides (Y2O3 and Dy2O3) on the microstructure and electrical properties of the X7R-type ceramics for base metal internal electrode multilayer ceramic capacitor (BME-MLCC) was investigated. As the amount of Y increased, the dielectric constants and the dielectric losses increased, while the temperature coefficient of capacitors (TCC) curve rotated in counterclockwise direction. On the contrary, the dielectric constants decreased with Dy, and the TCC curve remained the same. The grain growth can be inhibited by the Dy2O3, concluded from XRD analysis. The different influences on dielectric properties between Y2O3 and Dy2O3 were discussed by defect chemistry. Y3+ acted as acceptor, performing B-site substitution, while Dy3+ showed the amphoteric behavior. By optimizing appropriate qualities of Y2O3 and Dy2O3, the most-compatible composition for BME X7R ceramics can be obtained.

An experimental survey of rare earth oxides for use in thin film capacitors has been completed. Dielectric properties measured at 300°K are reported for thermally evaporated oxides 300 to 6000 Å in thickness of the metals, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Y, Sc, and also, V. Thin evaporated aluminum electrodes were utilized to impress voltages in the range zero to 75 V across the oxide layers. Dielectric breakdown strengths in excess of 5 × 106V/cm were observed. Relative dielectric constants measured for the oxides range from two to twenty, and measured capacitances were as high as 156 × 10−9F/cm2. The oxides of Ce, La, Nd, Gd, Pr, and Er show the most promise as potential materials for use in thin film capacitors.
