A Mass Production of Thick-Film Car Voltage Regulators

Application of thick film technology in mass production of biosensors.

Thick film technology is known to be a widely used tool for the fabrication of electronic circuits. It is normally based on the screen-printing and firing of various pastes differing in composition and electrical properties under different firing temperature. They are then classified as conductor, resistor, dielectric, and soldering pastes.1 Recently, the application of thick film technology ha...

Effects of High Voltage Pulse Trimming on Structural Properties of Thick-Film Resistors

Nowadays, compact and reliable electronic devices including up-to-date ceramic micro-electro-mechanical systems require thick-film resistors with significantly reduced dimensions and stable and precise resistance values. For that reason, instead of standard laser trimming method, high voltage pulse trimming of thick-film resistors is being introduced. This method allows controlled and reliable ...

Thick Film Ni-Ferrite Inductors

LOW-TEMPERATURE SINTERING OF HIGH VOLTAGE GRADIENT ZnO-BASED THICK FILM VARISTORS

High voltage gradient ZnO-based thick film varistors were fabricated by low-temperature sintering. The effect of sintering temperature on electrical properties of thick film varistors was investigated. The voltage gradient of thick film varistors increased significantly to 3159.4 V/mm after sintering at 725°C for 30 min. The small average grain size with good grain boundaries was the origin for...

Thick-film Piezoceramic Micro-generators

A sensor node is generally small in physical size (typically a few cm or smaller) and consist of a sensor, a transceiver, and supporting electronics. They are connected as a wireless network and are sometimes isolated and embedded in structures, which are not easily accessible. The lifespan of the sensor node is critically dependent upon the power source it contains. Instead of using a limited ...
