title = "High temperature deflection of LTCC",
abstract = "The behavior of LTCC at high temperature (∼ 600°C and above) is important for new applications such as micro-propulsion and micro-combustion devices. Design of Experiments (DOE) guidelines and software were used to consider a range of variables and to analyze the data. LTCC parts were fabricated and sintered before being tested at high temperatures. Each sintered part was taken to different peak temperatures under known loads to allow deflection. Deflection on sintered parts was measured using an optical comparator. One screening test was done to determine which variables were significant factors in the behavior of LTCC. A subsequent test considered only the most influential variables. Analysis of the data collected on both experimental runs was done using existing models. Our hypothesis is that the behavior of LTCC under high temperature and load is affected by several variables. The design, experimental results and analysis of the current experiment are reported in this paper.",
