Recent developments in the chemical processing of electrical ceramics

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7008591
A variety of chemical methods of ceramic processing have been developed, which include solution liquid-mix methods, co-precipitation, and sol-gel processing. This paper reports on, the (i) precipitation of colloidal particles by controlled nucleation and growth processes, for the preparation of powders with uniform composition and controlled morphology, which are used in thick-film capacitors; (ii) an alternate chemical processing route, known as polymeric mixed-alkoxide processing, which avoids powder, for the spin-casting of thin-layer devices on semiconductors; (iii) the feasibility of coating colloidal particles with alkoxide coatings for the chemical bonding of ceramics at reduced temperatures; and (iv) a liquid solution resin forming process, known as the Pechini method, for the preparation of superconducting ceramics.
