Low-temperature Bonding of Thick-film Polysilicon for MEMS

Polysilicon thick films have been found to be an irreplaceable option in various sensors and other microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-designs. Polysilicon is also a prospective option for replacing singlecrystal silicon in customized silicon-on-insulator-substrates. Due to the nature of polysilicon, bonding for MEMS-purposes has so far concentrated on anodic bonding, which has drawbacks for i...

Noise properties of thick-film resistors in extended temperature range

Results of thorough experimental studies on electrical properties of thick-film resistors (TFRs) have been overviewed and summarized. Experiments covered resistance and noise measurements in wide temperature range. Low-frequency noise spectroscopy has been used for the investigations of fluctuating phenomena. Sample resistors were prepared of various combinations of commercial and laboratory-ma...

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...

Upshift of phase transition temperature in nanostructured PbTiO3 thick film for high temperature applications.

Thick polycrystalline pure PbTiO3 films with nano size grains were synthesized for the first time by aerosol deposition. Annealed 7 μm thick films exhibit well-saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loops with a remanent polarization and coercive field of 35 μC/cm(2) and 94 kV/cm, respectively. A large-signal effective d33,eff value of >60 pm/V is achieved at room temperature. The measured ferroele...
