Thick-film densification for pyroelectric sensors

Densification and adherence of thick films are usually achieved by the addition of a glass frit to the screen printing ink. However, the glass may have a detrimental effect on the electrical properties of the active component as a ferroelectric. The addition of a new step-the application of uniaxial...

Description
Summary:Densification and adherence of thick films are usually achieved by the addition of a glass frit to the screen printing ink. However, the glass may have a detrimental effect on the electrical properties of the active component as a ferroelectric. The addition of a new step-the application of uniaxial or isostatic pressure on the dry film-to the standard processing of thick films leads to good densification without the use of glass. The efficiency of this new process for Pb(TiZrNbFe)O\+v\3\-v\-based films is demonstrated. (Abstract quotes from original text)
