Surface mount device modules, hybrid integrated circuits, heating elements, integrated passive devices, and sensors are all made using thick-film technology. The primary manufacturing technique is screen printing (stencilling), which, in addition to being used in the production of electronic devices, can also be used for a variety of graphic reproduction goals.
Among the various sensor technologies, thick-film technology (TFT) does not provide conceptually novel or sophisticated solutions, but it does provide several useful capabilities, such as material and design flexibility, ease of integration with electronic circuits, and packaging flexibility.
Thick-film circuits/modules are widely used in the automotive industry, both in sensors, such as fuel/air mixture sensors, pressure sensors, engine and gearbox controls, sensor for releasing airbags, and ignitors to airbags; in common, high reliability is required, as is an extended temperature range and massive thermocycling of circuits without failure.
Other areas of application include space electronics, consumer electronics, and various measurement systems that require low cost and/or high reliability.
The Global Thick Film sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Primosensor always double-checks whether the customer’s specifications can be met. For the thick film construction of force transducers, they use stainless steel instead of ceramics. This allows them to keep the typical spring characteristics and overload strength of force transducers.
Insulating, resistance, and contact layers are screen printed in a multilevel process by coating with the appropriate pastes and sintered at approximately 850°C. A passivation layer shields the sensor from environmental influences.
PS thick Series ceramic sensor chips have found widespread use in process control, environmental control, hydraulic pressure and pneumatic equipment, servo valve and drive, chemical products, chemical industry, medical instruments, and other fields.
It has been widely used in various pressure-measuring occasions due to its small dimension, 18 mm diameter, 6.35 mm thickness, 2200 bar range, and high performance-price ratio.
The integration of ceramic PZT thick films and various substrates is the new technology offered by InSensorTM. It was created with their expert knowledge of the compatibility of substrates, electrodes, and active films. The substrates that they have so far concentrated on are used in a variety of applications, including the electronics industry:
