CTS printed piezo covers the deposition of piezoceramic thick film onto various industry-common substrates such as silicon, glass and porous ceramics, or low-temperature subsrates including textiles, flex-PCB and polymers. The thick film deposition onto flat surfaces is carried out via standard screen printing. For more complex surface structures, CTS has developed a unique printing method similar to pad printing. This method allows for the deposition of active piezoelectric film layers on substrates with a radius of curvature down to 10mm.
Printed piezo thick films from CTS are well-suited for wearables, high-frequency ultrasonic imaging and Micro Electronic Mechanical Systems (MEMS) as they can provide sensing and actuation without any significant increase in system size.
CTS printed piezo thick film products are utilized in markets and applications such as:
- Transducers in the 10-60 MHz Range
- MEMS Accelerometers
- Wearables
- Phased and Annular Arrays
- Energy Harvesting
- Advanced Wound Healing
