Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piezoelectric ceramic technology, and in particular to a piezoelectric ceramic composite structure based on all-electrode polarization. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional piezoelectric ceramic elements typically use metal foil (such as copper foil or silver foil) or printed electrodes (such as silver paste) as electrode layers. During the fabrication process, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the electrode material and the piezoelectric ceramic substrate, uneven interfacial stress distribution occurs during high-temperature sintering or cooling, leading to edge curling (warping, curling) at the electrode edges. Furthermore, electrode curling disrupts the uniformity of the polarization electric field distribution, resulting in incomplete polarization of the piezoelectric ceramic layer, manifested as a decrease in the piezoelectric constant (d33) and an increase in dielectric loss. Under high-voltage operating conditions, electric field concentration easily forms in the curled area, triggering localized breakdown or arcing, severely limiting the reliability of the element in high-voltage applications (such as piezoelectric transformers and high-power ultrasonic transducers).

[0003] Some piezoelectric ceramic components (such as ultrasonic atomizing plates, ultrasonic sensors, etc.) need to be connected to external circuits by wire bonding. However, the stress concentration on the surface of traditional electrodes makes the solder joints easy to fall off. If the temperature of the soldering gun tip is too high, it may even burn off the silver layer. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the insulating circuit board is made of FR4 material with a thickness of 0.5-1.5mm, and the conductive layer is a copper foil layer with a thickness of 20-50μm, which is formed by etching to form a conformal structure with the second electrode.

[0007] Preferably, the insulating varnish layer is made of polyimide or epoxy resin material, with a thickness of 15-30 μm, a withstand voltage rating of ≥2kV, and completely covers the edge of the first electrode to prevent electric field concentration.
