Epitaxial thick film high-TcSQUIDs

Thick-Film and LTCC Passive Components for High-Temperature Electronics

At this very moment an increasing interest in the field of high-temperature electronics is observed. This is a result of development in the area of wide-band semiconductors’ engineering but this also generates needs for passives with appropriate characteristics. This paper presents fabrication as well as electrical and stability properties of passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors...

ESD Susceptibility of High Gauge Factor Thick Film Piezoresistors

CTS began manufacturing pointing devices in 1994 for use as cursor controls, mounted in the keyboards of notebook computers. While completed keyboards were robust against ESD, many precautions were required during manufacture and assembly to protect against the effects of ESD. While these ESD “protective” controls were effective in controlling ESD, they did not eliminate the ESD susceptibility ...

Thick Film Ni-Ferrite Inductors

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 ...

Equilibrium helium film in the thick film limit

For the thickness 0 5 a liquid or solid quantum f i lm, like liquid helium or solid hydrogen, there exist still open questions about how the film thickness develops in certain limits. One of these is the thick film limit, i.e., the crossover from the thick film to bulk. We have performed rneasurements in this range using the surface plasmon resonance technique and an evaporated h g film deposit...
