Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of manufacturing ceramic tape includes a step of directing a tape of partially-sintered ceramic into a furnace. The tape is partially-sintered such that grains of the ceramic are fused to one another yet the tape still includes at least 10% porosity by volume, where the porosity refers to volume of the tape unoccupied by the ceramic. The method further includes steps of conveying the tape through the furnace and further sintering the tape as the tape is conveyed through the furnace. The porosity of the tape decreases during the further sintering step.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sintered polycrystalline ceramic ribbon, comprising: ceramic grains fused to one another; a length of at least 10 m, a thickness of less than 100 μm, and a width of at least 50 mm; wherein the ribbon has fewer than 10 pin holes having a cross-sectional area of at least a square micrometer per square millimeter of surface on average over full surfaces thereof.
