TY - JOUR A1 - Schiller, Wolfgang Arno A1 - Müller, Ralf A1 - Eberstein, Markus A1 - Reinsch, Stefan A1 - Rabe, Torsten T1 - Sintering of LTCC JF - Ceramic Forum International : cfi N2 - Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic materials (LTCC) have attracted growing interest in recent years since they are promising candidates for highly integrated ceramic packaging. This paper surveys materials concepts of related glass ceramic composites (GCC) and discusses unsolved problems and challenges. The densification of GCC based on "viscous sintering" may be affected by steric effects and partial dissolution of dispersed crystal particles, crystallization and phase boundary reactions.
