Pure and Cupricated BaSnO3 thick film resistor: Synthesis, Characterization and studies on its gas sensing performance

In this work we report the synthesis, microstructure, electric properties and sensing performance of BaSnO3 (BS) powder, it was prepared by mechano-chemical method. As prepared powder is calcinated at temperatures 1100 o C, and 1300 o C tested for crystallization. Thick films were prepared using simple screen-printing technology. Structural and electrical analyses were performed and the results...

Preparation and Characterization of Zirconia Based Thick Film Resistor as a Ammonia Gas Sensor

Thick film technique is popular because of low cost, simple for construction and better sensing surface area, hence for resistive gas sensor thick films of pure ZrO2 powder were prepared by Standard screen printing technique. The material was characterized by X-Ray diffraction pattern, surface morphology was observed by SEM, elemental composition were observed by EDAX and optical properties wer...

Thick-Film and LTCC Passive Components for High-Temperature Electronics

At this very moment an increasing interest in the field of high-temperature electronics is observed. This is a result of development in the area of wide-band semiconductors’ engineering but this also generates needs for passives with appropriate characteristics. This paper presents fabrication as well as electrical and stability properties of passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors...

ESD Susceptibility of High Gauge Factor Thick Film Piezoresistors

CTS began manufacturing pointing devices in 1994 for use as cursor controls, mounted in the keyboards of notebook computers. While completed keyboards were robust against ESD, many precautions were required during manufacture and assembly to protect against the effects of ESD. While these ESD “protective” controls were effective in controlling ESD, they did not eliminate the ESD susceptibility ...
