Dice & Fill Composite Ceramics
When bulk piezoelectric ceramics don’t meet your sensitivity or resolution needs consider using dice and fill composite ceramics from APC International. Dice & fill ceramics are the industry standard for piezo composites with frequencies of greater than 1 MHz.
Dice & Fill Composite Ceramics
Dice & fill composite ceramics are manufactured by dicing a piezoelectric ceramic plate and filling the form trenches with an epoxy or polymer. The distance between the pixels or rods is minimized to avoid lateral modes or any undesirable interference.
Two applications that typically use dice & fill composites are medical ultrasound and NDT phased array transducers.
Available features of APC’s Dice & Fill Composites include:
– Frequency tolerances as tight as +/- 5%
– PZT Navy Type I, II, and VI materials
– Various epoxy and polyurethane interstitial materials
– Operational temperatures up to 130C
– Copper-tin & silver-gold electrode materials
