Titel
Thick film heater for aluminum nitride ceramics
Abstract
Heater pastes for aluminum nitride (AlN) are not in common use at present. Therefore, heater pastes with AgPd conductive components are under development This study shows the influence of the AgPd ratio in heater pastes on the film properties as well as on the heater characteristics. Therefore, three pastes with different AgPd ratios are prepared and tested. The formations of the heater materials are analyzed by insitu resistance measurements, X-ray studies and FESEM. The characterization of the heaters under electrical load and at different temperatures are investigated.
