LTCC-Modules with integrated ferrite layers - Strategies for material development and co-sintering
(2009)
The integration of passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors) into LTCC modules is a challenging task in multilayer ceramics technology. We report on multilayer assemblies consisting of combined layers of ferrite and dielectric LTCC tapes. Ni-Cu-Zn ferrites with maximum shrinkage at 900°C were processed to green tapes and laminated with dielectric LTCC tapes. Cosintering at 900°C led to multilayers with different defects such as incomplete densification of the ferrite layers, cracks, and warpage. Since ferrite tapes do not really allow compositional changes without deterioration of magnetic properties, the dielectric tape was modified with the following objectives: (i) matching of the shrinkage curves of dielectric and ferrite materials, (ii) adjusting the coefficients of thermal expansion to avoid cracking during cooling, and (iii) controlling of interface reactions. Using this concept we fabricated dense and defect-free multilayers consisting of dielectric and ferrite layers. However, compositional changes of the individual ferrite tapes require the development of a specific dielectric tape material with tailored properties.

Silver in LTCC - Interfacial reactions, transport processes and influence on properties of ceramics
(2009)
Due to addition of minor amounts of suitable additive combinations to BaTiO3 powder the sintering temperature was reduced to 900 °C. Excellent densification (more than 98% of theoretical density) and good dielectric properties were achieved after sintering at 900 °C for 2 hours. Dielectric properties can be improved by modifying the composition of sintering additives and additon of further dopants. The low sintering temperature of newly developed capacitor material allows a co-sintering with pure silver electrodes. No interfacial reaction between silver electrodes and ceramics was observed by microprobe analysis. The dielectric constants of about 1200 to 3000 and the dielectric losses of about 0.008 to 0.02 were measured (f = 1 kHz, T = 25 °C). The temperature dependency of dielectric constant for new capacitor materials is low, almost X7R characteristics. Furthermore, the densification and the dielectric properties of embedded capacitors in LTCC were investigated.
