Abstract:
A method of producing magnetic metal oxide films bonded to an inorganic, non-magnetic substrate comprising the steps of applying a coating to the surface of the substrate, which coating consists of a very fine magnetic metal oxide powder dispersed in a suitable liquid. The applied coating and substrate are then heated to a temperature sufficient to evaporate the liquid constituent of the coating and form a thin, dense, magnetic, metal oxide film chemically bonded to the substrate.
Abstract:
A frit capacitor of either the discrete or integrated microcircuit variety having a ferroelectric glass-ceramic dielectric whose dielectric constant is of intermediate value between about 20 and 400. The desired value of dielectric constant is accurately obtained in a readily reproducible manner by mixing a batch containing appropriate quantities of stable non-crystallizable glass particles and glass particles capable of forming a ferroelectric crystal phase. The desired dielectric constant is obtained by subjecting the batch to heat treatment. By controlling the weight ratio of the two glass components during the batch preparation, individual capacitor dielectrics having different dielectric constants can be provided utilizing the same firing schedule for each.
Abstract:
A hermetic enclosure for an electrical component, particularly for a tantalum capacitor, and a method of forming it is disclosed. A silver container is provided having an open end at which an outwardly protruding flange is formed. A quantity of sealing glass is sealed to a lead and formed into a bead about the lead intermediate the ends thereof. A metallic collar having an outwardly protruding flange is disposed about the bead. This assembly and a metallic band, having a temperature coefficient of expansion greater than the glass bead, is heated and the metallic band is disposed about the collar so as to place the collar and glass bead in compression upon cooling thereby effecting a compression seal between the collar and the glass bead. A hermetic seal is then effected between the outwardly protruding flange of the container and the outwardly protruding flange of the collar.
Abstract:
The resistance value of a refractory metal carbide film resistor is adjusted and stabilized at any desired resistance value up to approximately 100 times the resistance value of the originally deposited film by heat treating the metal carbide film in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures above the anticipated operating range of the resistor. The heat treatment increases the resistance of the applied film by converting a layer of the exposed film to a non-conductive oxide.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the manufacture of glass-ceramic materials which are especially well suited for the production of high-performance capacitors. These materials are transparent, are essentially free from Na2O, and contain crystals preferably of alkaline earth niobates or titanates, varying in size between about 100-2,000 A.
