U.S.-Chile Cooperative Research Program: Passivation of Copper for High Performance Electronics

0104611寿衣美国-智利计划奖为托马斯R.宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Shrout和Mauricio E.博士。智利圣地亚哥的智利大学的Pilleux进行研究，涉及在设计多层电子陶瓷材料时使用铜粉代替贵金属。这项合作将联合收割机结合智利大学在表面物理和薄膜电子学方面的专业知识和宾夕法尼亚州立大学材料研究实验室研究人员在电子陶瓷方面的专业知识。 介电陶瓷层具有广泛的工业应用，包括致动器、传感器、超声换能器、电压互感器和介电电容器。 这项研究可能会导致在多层陶瓷的制造中的重要应用。

0104611ShroutThis U.S.- Chile Program award provides support for cooperative research between Dr. Thomas R. Shrout of Penn State University and Dr. Mauricio E. Pilleux of Universidad de Chile in Santiago, Chile, to carry out research involving the use of copper powder to replace noble metals in designing multi-layer electroceramic materials.The collaboration will combine the expertise in surface physics and thin film dielectrics at the Universidad de Chile with the expertise in electronic ceramics of researchers at the Materials Research Laboratory at Penn State. Layers of dielectric ceramics have a wide variety of industrial applications, including actuators, sensors, ultrasonic transducers, voltage transformers, and dielectric capacitors. This research may lead to important applications in the manufacture of multi-layer ceramics.
