چکیده

This research attempted to fabricate a gas-diverting valve using LTCC technology for the emerging field of meso-scale devices. A photolithographic process for patterning Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) tapes utilizing DuPont Green Tape tape coupled with DuPont Riston 9015, a dry photoresist, is described in detail. Based on the device design, calculations determining the theoretical resistance and magnetic flux were made. These numbers will determine the voltage necessary to run the device once built. Although the device was not constructed since the resolution of the dry photoresist system was being pushed led to difficulty in etching the tape, lamination and development techniques of the Riston were perfected, and insights into the composition of the tape prior to and after etching were made. Suggestions for improvements in the process are given, as well as thoughts on what should be the next step in this research.

Photolithographic Processes for Creating a Proximity Sensor in Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic Tapes NSF Summer Undergraduate Fellowships in Sensor Technology (SUNFEST)

This paper describes two photolithographic processes for patterning Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) tapes. The processes involve the use of two types of LTCC tape. In one case photoformable tape is used, and in the other, DuPont 951 tape coupled with DuPont Riston 9015, a dry photoresist, is used. Although a full 8-layer sensor was not completed using either method, single spirals wer...

Influence of lamination parameters on mechanical properties of low temperature co-fired ceramic tapes

For the development of force sensors, manufactured in LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) technology for musical wind instruments, the mechanical properties of laminated LTCC tapes were characterized. Since one layer of LTCC tape is not always fulfilling the requirements of the force sensor’s loading capacity, the influence of lamination parameters for different number of layers were inves...

GLUCOSE SENSOR UTILIZING SILICON PLANAR TECHNOLOGY NSF Summer Undergraduate Fellowship in Sensor Technology

A glucose sensor using silicon and platinum was designed and fabricated. The interaction of glucose oxidaise and glucose produces proteins which have dielectric properties that produce an electrical output measured through the bonding pads of a sensor. The sensor consists of two layers of platinum: one porous layer that serves as an area for the reaction to take place, and a second layer that c...
