Development of high-k embedded capacitors on printed wiring board using sol-gel and foil-transfer processes

摘要

Sol-gel ceramic films were fabricated for organic system-on-package compatible integral capacitor applications. The films were synthesized on Ti and Ni foils which were then transferred onto organic boards using a lamination step. SrTiO/sub 3/ and BaTiO/sub 3/ films were synthesized with capacitance as high as 700 nF/cm/sup 2/ and loss as low as 0.005. It should be noted that the high permeability of Ni (approximately 100 in bulk form) and lower conductivity compared to copper decreases the skin depth and increases the resistivity of copper. This can have a deleterious effect on Q. More studies are underway to investigate this effect.
