Notes:
Miniaturisation and multi-functionality are the driving forces in the field of manytechnical market segments. Ceramic multilayer technology via tape casting and lamination isone of the key technologies to generate complex, highly integrated devices for future applications.The technique offers a tremendous potential for the integration of different materialscombined with the possibility to form complex 3-D structures by layered object manufacturing.The ceramic multilayer technology is based on shaping, screen-printing and stacking of individualceramic green tapes, which are laminated and co-fired. The tapes can offer ferroelectric,piezoelectric and magnetic behaviour, insulating and semi-conducting properties, voltage-,temperature- and atmosphere-dependent resistances, high thermal conductivity, corrosionresistance, or bio inert behaviour. For the integration of additional features like reactors or sensors,the described layered manufacturing method allows to introduce simultaneously microchannelsand other cavities. - New developments in processing and in materials concepts areaddressed to overcome limitations and to take maximum advantage of this technique. Thetechnique is illustrated considering e.g. microwave circulators for communication, sensors forautomotive applications, and piezoelectric actuators as examples, which demonstrate thepotential of the technology for the manufacture of highly integrated multifunctional systems
