Low-temperature co-fired ceramic substrates for high-performance strain gauges

  • Recent advances in the development of high gauge factor thin films for strain gauges prompt the research on advanced substrate materials. A glass ceramic composite has been developed in consideration of a high coefficient of thermal expansion (9.4 ppm/K) and a low modulus of elasticity (82 GPa) for the application as support material for thin-film sensors. In the first part, constantan foil strain gauges were fabricated from this material by tape casting, pressure-assisted sintering, and subsequent lamination of the metal foil on the planar ceramic substrates. The accuracy of the assembled load cells corresponds to accuracy class C6. That qualifies the load cells for the use in automatic packaging units and confirms the applicability of the low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates for fabrication of accurate strain gauges. In the second part, to facilitate the deposition of thin-film sensor structures to the LTCC substrates, pressure-assisted sintering step is modified usingRecent advances in the development of high gauge factor thin films for strain gauges prompt the research on advanced substrate materials.

In the second part, to facilitate the deposition of thin-film sensor structures to the LTCC substrates, pressure-assisted sintering step is modified using smooth setters instead of release tapes, which resulted in fabrication of substrates with low average surface roughness of 50 nm. Titanium thin films deposited on these substrates as test coatings exhibited low surface resistances of 850 Ω comparable to thin films on commercial alumina thin-film substrates with 920 Ω. The presented material design and advances in manufacturing technology are important to promote the development of high-performance thin-film strain gauges.zeige mehrzeige weniger
