*Thick-film and LTCC techology for sensors, fluidic devices and
advanced packaging*

 Thomas Maeder
Laboratoire de Production Microtechnique (LPM)
Lausanne – Switzerland

ABSTRACT
Thick-film and related technologies such as LTCC (low-temperature cofired
ceramic) have a long and successful application track record in the field of
high-reliability electronics. In recent times, they have adapted to
ever-increasing user requirements through development of new materials and
processes, thus expanding beyond their traditional application field to
enable a new class of devices such as sensors, fluidics, and advanced
packages for electronics and MEMS operating in harsh environments. In this
talk, several applications developed at EPFL will be presented:

1) Low-cost force and pressure sensors for industrial and medical
applications
2) Packaging of devices and electronics for operation in harsh environments
such as aerospace and oil/gas exploration
3) Fluidic devices: microreactors and fuel cells
4) Packaging of small-scale atomic clicks
5) Polymer-based materials for low-cost devices and low-temperature
processing**
