Gold thick film conductors

New Wire Bondable Gold Thick Film Conductors For LTCC Applications

Low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) with silver and gold conductor systems offer a low cost, high performance, and high reliability solution utilizing the advantages of ceramic technology. Gold conductors are generally used in applications requiring best reliability in harsh environmental conditions. Gold conductors are bonded to active or passive components through wirebonding, soldering, ...

Laser sintering of thick-film conductors for microelectronic applications

This paper investigates fabrication of functional thick metal films using simultaneous laser sintering and patterning along with the fundamental physical phenomena that govern the laser sintering process. The effects of the processing parameters on the quality of the fabricated components are investigated through a heat transfer analysis. We show that our process has potentials for metallizatio...

Thick Film Ni-Ferrite Inductors

Thick-film Piezoceramic Micro-generators

A sensor node is generally small in physical size (typically a few cm or smaller) and consist of a sensor, a transceiver, and supporting electronics. They are connected as a wireless network and are sometimes isolated and embedded in structures, which are not easily accessible. The lifespan of the sensor node is critically dependent upon the power source it contains. Instead of using a limited ...

Equilibrium helium film in the thick film limit

For the thickness 0 5 a liquid or solid quantum f i lm, like liquid helium or solid hydrogen, there exist still open questions about how the film thickness develops in certain limits. One of these is the thick film limit, i.e., the crossover from the thick film to bulk. We have performed rneasurements in this range using the surface plasmon resonance technique and an evaporated h g film deposit...
