T1 - Integration of Ni-Cu-Zn and hexagonal ferrites into LTCC modules: Cofiring strategies and magnetic properties N2 - We have studied the integration of Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite spinels as well as substituted hexagonal Co2Y-and M-type ferrites into LTCC (Low Temperature Ceramic Co-firing) modules. The cofiring behavior and the magnetic properties of these materials were investigated and evaluated for multilayer applications. Ni-Cu-Zn ferrites exhibit permeabilities of µ=300–500 for operating frequencies in the MHz range. Cu-substituted Y-type ferrites Ba2Co2-x-yZnxCuyFe12O22 in combination with sintering additives display sufficient shrinkage and densification at 900°C. A permeability of µ=10 is observed; however, substituted Co2Y-type ferrites do not exhibit long-term stability at 900°C. Co/Ti-substituted M-type ferrites BaFe12-2yCoyTiyO19 (y=1.2) with planar magneto-crystalline anisotropy exhibit excellent soft magnetic behavior. Using sintering additives, complete densification is reached at 900°C and a permeability of µ=15 and a resonance frequency of larger than 1?GHz are observed. Integration of ferrite multilayer inductor components into LTCC modules using free and constrained cofiring technologies is demonstrated.

T1 - Sintering behavior, microstructure and thermoelectric properties of calcium cobaltite thickfilms for transversal thermoelectric multilayer generators N2 - The sintering behavior and the thermoelectric performance of Ca3Co4O9 multilayer laminates were studied, and a multilayer thermoelectric generator was fabricated. Compacts and multilayer samples with anisotropic microstructure and residual porosity were obtained after conventional sintering at 920 °C, whereas dense and isotropic multilayer samples were prepared by firing at 1200 °C and reoxidation at 900 °C. A hot-pressed sample has a dense and anisotropic microstructure. Samples sintered at 920 °C exhibit low electrical conductivity due to the low density, whereas the Seebeck coefficient is not sensitive to preparation conditions. However, thermal conductivity of multilayers is very low, and, hence acceptable ZT values are obtained. A ransversal multilayer thermoelectric generator (TMLTEG) was fabricated by stacking layers of Ca3Co4O9 green tapes, AgPd conductor printing, and co-firing at 920 °C. The TMLTEG has a power output of 3 mW at ΔT =200 K in the temperature interval of 25 °C to 300 °C.
