Abstract
Application of ceramic for realization of chemical micro systems has several advantage over other materials such as thermal and chemical stability. Low temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) tapes is well suited for production of complex structures with integrated elements in to monolith part. The general project idea is to use ceramic materials for manufacture of chemical micro systems with integrated passive and functional elements and testing the functionality of some demonstrators systems. The materials and processing for buried channels, membranes and cavities with well defined dimensions for mixing reactants and performer chemical reaction will be developed. The compatibility of materials at processing conditions as well as at application in micro system will be investigated with the aim to optimize.
Significance for science
Within the framework of the project we focused on two main areas of study: the comprehensive characterization of materials, and the development of synthesis processes compatible manufacturing of chemical microsystems made from LTCC ceramics (Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramics - LTCC). This work represents a relatively unconventional use of new technologies and materials, where we able to create unique opportunities for the manufacture of three dimensional ceramic structures for various chemical reactors, by employing the use of commercially available LTCC ceramics and thick-film materials. The materials used to manufacture chemical microsystems are exposed to chemical reactants or products of the reaction and it is critical that these materials are compatible during the production of the microsystems. The research results of this project in the field of materials and technology, are the basis for both a theoretical and experimental understanding of the design and construction of chemical and other (electro-mechanical, fluid, ...) ceramic microsystems. The multifaceted, holistic approach adopted during this study and the comprehensive information obtain on all areas ranging from theory to concept to prototype, are of a world class standard, placing our institution among the leading laboratories for ceramic microsystems in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Austria) and across the globe (USA, Brazil). The project has also been pivotal in strengthening links between researchers (Institute, University and private organization) and industry (three separate enterprises), in the field of ceramic materials and technologies for the electronics and chemical systems. The project revealed a number of new and novel findings which signify a substantial original contribution to understanding in the field of materials as well as marking significant achievements in the development of new technologies.
Significance for the country
The work conducted during the duration of this project has had a positive impact intellectually and economically both in Research and industry. The intellectual property and knowledge gained is shared across three major institutions by the collective involvement of the following research organisations: The electronic Ceramics Department at the Institute Jozef Stefan, HIPOT RR, and the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. The economic benefits of the project are clearly visible by the resulting development of new commercial products and new manufacturing equipment in the companies HYB, KEKON and KEKO Equipment who were partnered collaborators under the research project. However, the full economic potential of the materials and technologies developed as a part of the project has not yet been reached and will likely only be seen after some time has elapsed and allowed for further product development and for the new technologies to consolidate a stable place in the commercial market. The key developments made within each commercial company involved in the research project can be highlighted as follows: - The company HYB have developed a ceramic pressure sensor for "wet-wet" applications, a product which directly relies on the innovative use of LTCC technology developed exclusively as part of the research project. - The company KEKON has improved their ceramic substrates for multilayer ceramic electronic components, a development which results from the improved understanding of materials and processing which was gained as a result of their partnership in the project. - The company KEKO Equipment has developed a glass-ceramic composite (Low Temperature Ceramics Cofired - LTCC), adapted for the production of 3D ceramic structures for MEMS and other microsystems ceramic. A development they were able to achieve due to their involvement with the research project. The participating research organization HIPOT-RR and all three of the partnering funders and users of the research results (HYB, KEKON and KEKO), are small or medium-sized enterprises owned and operated in Slovenia, all located in the Southeast region. In this way, the project promotes both regional development and economic stability of the Republic of Slovenia. The implementation of research findings in an industrial environment is not only a strikingly positive example of cooperation between scientific and industrial spheres but, is an achievement which demonstrates the high effectiveness and efficiency with which Slovenian research institutions are capable of working. Projects with such success are important for promoting further research and industry cooperation with in Slovenia, but are also instrumental for forging an international reputation for Slovenian research organisations, which is vital for growing influence both within Europe and abroad. Under the supervision of researchers from Department of Electronic Ceramics, dr. Makarovic performed a PhD in 2013 on ˝the influence of preparation conditions on the phase composition, structure and properties of ceramics with low temperature firing" at the Graduate School of Jozef Stefan Institute. After the defence he has been employed by the company KEKO Equipment, where he continued his research and assisted his colleagues implement a new product. Members of the research team have both made new and renewed some old collaborations with research institutions abroad. Such connections are critical for building international research networks which allow for multinational funded projects to be conceived, planned and conducted with great benefit to Slovenia and all parties involved. Finally, references gained for work carried out during the research project has proved vital in the successful competing for project grants from the set of ESA PECS, M-ERA-NET, Euripides and bilateral project with the Czech Republic.
