Abstract

The rapidly growing wireless industry needs new high performance materials to build low loss, high density, and thermally stable integrated packages. Applications include automotive safety, control, global positioning system (GPS) mapping and entertainment, multifunctional portable phones, video and data transmission through wireless local area network (WLAN) etc. Recently, low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology is referred as a key approach for smart packaging. Although its use has been initiated in the telecommunication field due to the excellent dielectric properties of the LTCC tapes, its application areas have been diversified recently. In the present work, the attempt has been made towards the development of thick film silver conductor composition compatible with available LTCC tapes (DuPont DP-951AX). The physical, microstructural, and electrical properties of the pastes prepared with different compositions are presented in this paper.
