Pastes can be used with low-temperature cofired ceramic tapes to form PTC and NTC thermistors. Low-temperature, cofired ceramic (LTCC) tapes are commonly used as a substrate material for hybrid microelectronic circuits. Recently, it has been recognized that ceramic tapes also can be used as an efficient and convenient medium for the manufacturing of mesoscale electromechanical components and systems, in particular mesoscale fluidic systems for laboratories on a chip and microchemical reactors. Ceramic tapes are attractive, because they are easy to machine in the green state, and they facilitate easy integration of microfluidic components, electronic conductors, resistors and electrodes using layered manufacturing and rapid prototyping processes.
