Investigation of the influence of ceramic fillers, sintering mechanism and lamination conditions on the porosity of LTCC multilayer films

Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) are ceramic composite materials that cover a wide range of properties. Different sintering mechanisms result in different process requirements. The aim of the project is to investigate how lamination, powder structure and sintering mechanism affect the porosity of the sintered multilayer.

The following subtasks are part of the work:

  • Investigation of the grain structure of de-bindered LTCC ceramic powders
  • Lapping and polishing of test substrates made from the selected ceramics
  • Surface analysis of the test substrates: roughness, height distribution, pore distribution, porosity
  • Discussion of the analyses as a function of processing and sintering mechanism
