Abstract

The use of sol–gel-derived 0–3 composite ceramics for low-temperature direct-write electronics applications was investigated. The 0–3 composite paste materials were prepared using selected metal alkoxides and commercial low- and high-κ' dielectric powders. The composite pastes were deposited onto alumina and polyimide substrates using conventional screening and micro-dispensing techniques. The deposited films were oven-dried at or below 200°C and thermally densified using a CO2 laser. The 0–3 composites exhibited good adhesion and structural density. Electrical characterization of the laser-processed dielectrics revealed κ' values as high as 295 and tan δ as low as 0.02 on polyimide substrates.
