摘要:
A multilayer ceramic substrate electronic component is provided having high temperature superconductor material circuitry. The high temperature superconductor material is preferably yttrium-barium-copper-oxide and is encased within a noble metal such as silver or gold when forming the surface circuitry or filling of the vias. The noble metal layers preferably have through-openings to enable direct connection of circuitry to the encased superconductor layer. A method is also provided for fabricating such multilayer ceramic substrate electronic components.

The present invention relates generally to a new apparatus and method for screening using porous backing material. More particularly, the invention encompasses an apparatus that uses a porous backing material which is adhered to a green sheet during the screening process. Basically, a backing layer having a very high porosity is adhered to a green sheet, while the green sheet is screened. During the drying process of the green sheet some of the screening fluids are absorbed by the porous backing layer, which allows the screened vias of the green sheet to have a smooth surface.
摘要:
A hermetic package for an electronic device is manufactured by providing a green glass ceramic body with a green via to produce a workpiece. The workpiece is sintered at a temperature at or above 500.degree. C., while compressing the workpiece at a pressure at or above 100 pounds per square inch, so as to obtain a hermetic package. The green via comprises a mixture of copper and a glass ceramic material with a sufficient volume of glass to produce a hermetic package, yet with sufficient copper to have a suitable electrical conductivity.The hermetic package thus produced comprises a sintered glass ceramic body having an electrically conductive sintered via which is hermetically bonded to the glass ceramic body and which comprises a mixture of an electrically conductive material and a glass ceramic material. The electrically conductive material forms at most 50 volume percent of the via.The workpiece may be sintered in a sintering fixture having a frame and a compensating insert. The compensating insert and frame bound a sintering chamber for accommodating the workpiece. By providing a frame having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the workpiece, and by providing a compensating insert having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the frame, a close fit can be assured between the workpiece and the sintering fixture over a large range of temperatures.
