Development of LTCC-Materials and their Applications : an Overview

Abstract

Abstract: The first Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) tapes were developed more than thirty years ago. During the past decades, LTCC have spread around many different fields of application. This contribution gives an overview of the development of new materials used in combination with typical LTCC tapes, as well as on their application for new devices. Besides commercially offered materials like self-constrained tapes, high-k tapes or ferromagnetic tapes, newly developed LTCC compositions and their possible applications are presented and discussed.
