Short summary
In this work, a ceramic housing was designed using the versatile low-temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) to test this technology at temperatures above 400°C. Inside the housing, a prototype sensor chip was mounted to monitor the signal quality during an applied heat treatment up to 600 °C. All devices failed at around 450–500 °C due to material migration from the glass seal of the housing to the sensing structures of the mounted chip. Elemental analysis identified bismuth as a contaminant.
