Abstract

Electronic ceramics play a pivotal role in electronic devices, such as filters, substrates, and packaging, while serving as integral components of field-responsive devices, such as sensors, transducers, and energy harvesters. However, conventional methods of fabricating electronic ceramics face limitations in size, shape, cost, and efficiency due to growing demand for increased miniaturization and precision. Therefore, considerable attention has been directed towards the development of alternative ceramic progressing methods. Specifically, vat photopolymerization (VPP) additive manufacturing technology features a high spatial resolution and capability of realizing three-dimensional architecture, thus enabling additional functionalities previously unattainable in electronic ceramic devices. Interdisciplinary endeavors are essential for establishing a link between electronic ceramics and VPP. A comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles of electronic ceramics and VPP is essential for their synergistic integration. In this review, electronic ceramics are categorized into dielectrics and semiconductors according to their electronic properties, emphasizing the role of compositional and nano-/microstructural engineering in optimizing their functions. Subsequently, we discuss recent advances in photocurable materials for VPP, considering key factors such including rheology, light propagation, and debinding/sintering processes from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. These insights provide guidelines for formulating photocurable suspensions for electronic ceramic fabrication by VPP. Lastly, we discuss the prospects and challenges of this rapidly evolving field, offering perspectives into future innovations in electronic ceramic additive manufacturing by VPP.

基于还原光聚合的电子陶瓷增材制造的材料和基本原理

电子陶瓷在电子器件中起着举足轻重的作用，如滤波器、衬底和封装，同时作为场响应器件的组成部分，如传感器、换能器和能量收集器。然而，传统的制造电子陶瓷的方法面临着尺寸、形状、成本和效率的限制，这是由于对日益增长的小型化和精度的需求。因此，相当多的注意力已经指向发展替代陶瓷工艺方法。具体来说，还原光聚合（VPP）增材制造技术具有高空间分辨率和实现三维结构的能力，从而实现了以前在电子陶瓷器件中无法实现的额外功能。跨学科的努力对于建立电子陶瓷和VPP之间的联系至关重要。全面了解电子陶瓷和VPP的基本原理对于它们的协同集成是必不可少的。本文根据电子陶瓷的电子性能将其分为介电材料和半导体材料，并强调了成分和纳米/微结构工程在优化其功能中的作用。随后，我们讨论了用于VPP的光固化材料的最新进展，从理论和实验的角度考虑了包括流变学、光传播和脱粘/烧结过程在内的关键因素。这些见解为VPP制造电子陶瓷的光固化悬浮液的制定提供了指导。最后，我们讨论了这一快速发展领域的前景和挑战，并对VPP在电子陶瓷增材制造方面的未来创新提出了展望。

期刊介绍： Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications. The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms. Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC). Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
