Can the dielectric constant (K) of BT with a particle size of less than 200 mn be increased As stated earher in the background section, the K values need to be higher for embedded capacitor apphcations. How does the tetragonality in terms of the c/a ratio of the BT unit cell relate to the K of the particles The K values of BT-08 powders treated chemically were measured for the test specimens of BT-08 powder consolidated by polyvinyl butyral (PVB) binder with silver electrodes and by being placed under a Hewlett-Packard LCR meter. Our preliminary...

This module (Figure 1.24) is an antenna switch/filter module designed for dual-band portable wireless telephones. It combines GSM/DCS/PCS diplex-ing and receiving/transmitting antenna functions. The 8.9 x 9.9 mm (0.35 x 0.39 in.) LTCC module uses a 26-pad EGA format. In addition to the surface-mounted passive components, the six-conductor-layer structure incorporates 13 embedded capacitors and inductors to form the diplexer and 2 low-pass filters.

Again, the value of embedded capacitors must be designed to the correct size. The value of a formed embedded capacitor is given by the Eq. 21.2. 

Since the area used to make the formed embedded capacitor can vary, to compare the capabilities of each technology, we must choose a standard area.Therefore, the capacitance at 1 sq. cm is convenient, as shown in Table 21.3. 

Capacitor values typically vary from a picofarad to a few microfarads. Thus, low picofarad applications in timing, decoupling, and filtering are the best applications for formed embedded capacitors inside circuit boards. 

Embedded capacitors may also be present. All boards exhibit capacitance between various traces, and especially between planes. The amount of capacitance is determined by the parallel surface area of the conductors, the thickness of the insulator between them, and the dielectric constant of the insulating material. Some product designs seek to maximize the desirable noise suppression benefits of capacitance between power and ground planes by making the intervening insulator thin. Some go further and use special insulating cores for these layers.

Single or multiple layers of TiAlOx, AI2O3, TiA10x/Al203, and T1O2/AI2O3 were synthesized by magnetron sputter-deposition techniques, and more recently by atomic layer (ALD) deposition (see details of oxide layer synthesis in the ehapter Microchip-Embedded Capacitors for Implantable Neural Stimulators).

This book. Implantable Neural Prostheses 2 Techniques and Engineering Approaches, is part two of a two-volume sequence that describes state-of-the-art advances in techniques associated with implantable neural prosthetic devices. The techniques covered include biocompatibility and biostability, hermetic packaging, electrochemical techniques for neural stimulation applications, novel electrode materials and testing, thin-film flexible microelectrode arrays, in situ characterization of microelectrode arrays, chip-size thin-film device encapsulation, microchip-embedded capacitors and microelectronics for recording, stimulation, and wireless telemetry. The design process in the development of medical devices is also discussed.
