Polymer/ceramic composite paste for embedded capacitor and method for fabricating capacitor using same

Abstract

A polymer/ceramic composite paste for an embedded capacitor includes an organic solvent, a ceramic powder having a particle diameter of not more than 20 μm dispersed in the organic solvent, a polymer and a hardener. The use of the polymer/ceramic composite paste enables the formation of a dielectric layer having a high dielectric constant. The polymer/ceramic composite paste can be applied by a screen printing technique and is planarized to locally form a polymer/ceramic composite dielectric layer having a thickness of, e.g., up to 20 μm on a desired region. Accordingly, electrical parasitics resulting from the formation of a capacitor on unwanted regions can be reduced, and the capacitance error can be reduced.
