Process development for PWB compatible embedded capacitors
Abstract
This paper addresses materials and processes for printed wiring board compatible embedded capacitors using polymer/ceramic nanocomposites and hydrothermal barium titanate. Polymers allow low temperature fabrication appropriate to the board (MCM‐L) technology. The lower dielectric constants of the commercially available polymers can be greatly compensated by incorporating higher permittivity ceramic fillers. Materials requirements for higher capacitance density (>30 nF/cm2) have been addressed through implementation of a novel low‐temperature processable hydrothermal barium titanate film on a patterned titanium foil laminated to the PWB. Application of hydrothermal grown barium titanate is currently being evaluated using a multi‐layer system‐on‐package demonstration.
