Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to achieve the suppression of planar shrinkage in LTCC ceramic tape laminate structures without externally applied forces or sacrificial constraining tape. The method utilizes a non-sacrificial constraining tape that constrains a tape assembly.

Abstract: A method to produce a distortion-free asymmetrical low-temperature co-fired ceramic structure comprising at least one layer of glass-containing internal constraining tape and at least one layer of glass-containing primary tape wherein the internal constraining tape and the primary tape are laminated to form an asymmetrical laminate and wherein a release layer is deposited on at least one surface of the laminate forming an assembly, wherein the surface is opposite the position of greatest asymmetry of the laminated layers and wherein the assembly is thermally processed producing a structure exhibiting an interactive suppression of x,y shrinkage.

Abstract: An electrical resistor material comprising a dielectric polymeric binder, (optionally) electrically conductive particles, and an electrically conductive polymer, where the electrically conductive particles (if any) are used to make a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) component, and where the electrically conductive polymer is (optionally) doped, and is used to make negative temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) component. The positive and negative components are combined at such a ratio, in the presence of a dielectric polymer binder, sufficient to provide a resistor with a sheet resistance between 0.01 and 10,000,000 ohms per square, and where the resistor has a final temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) between −500 ppm/° C. and 500 ppm/° C.

Abstract: A coatable insulator composition for use in the formation of a green tape comprising fine inorganic micropowders composed of amorphous glass and a refractory oxide in a volatile organic solvent solution of a binder composed of a polymer substance and a plasticizer(s). A green tape obtained by coating said composition over a flexible substrate, and heating and drying this product to remove the organic solvent; and a method for forming a barrier-rib for a plasma display apparatus by sandblast etching using said green tape as an insulator layer for the barrier-rib formation. A use of a pre-formed green tape of uniform thickness in the formation of the barrier-rib of a plasma display apparatus allows the thickness uniformity of the barrier-rib to be improved and the work rationalized, which means that the plasma display apparatus can be made larger and finer, and mass production throughput will be enhanced.
