Abstract
Camber (curvature) development during cofiring a two-layered structure of Ag film/low-dielectric-constant, low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) green tape has been investigated. At a given thickness of Ag film, both the camber and camber rate decrease linearly with increasing the square thickness of LTCC. Densification mismatch between Ag and LTCC is attributed to be the root cause for the camber generation during cofiring. Mathematical analysis is made to theoretically describe the camber development, and the results show a fairly good agreement with experimental observations.
