Abstract

The present invention relates to a connection member for a ceramic heater and, more specifically, to a connection member which is included in a ceramic plate so as to electrically connect a power supply member to a molybdenum mesh, wherein the area of one surface of the connection member where the connection member comes into contact with the molybdenum mesh included in the ceramic plate is larger than the area of the other surface of the connection member where the connection member comes into contact with the power supply member. The connection member provided by the present invention has a structural advantage in that when bonding abnormality is checked by pulling the power supply member during a maintenance process of the ceramic heater or when the maintenance work requires separation of the power supply member, the connection member is not separated along with the power supply member, and can be fixed inside the ceramic member while being in contact with the molybdenum mesh.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a ceramic heater and, more specifically, to a ceramic heater (100) characterized in that connecting portions connecting concentric circumferences of a heating element (400) included in the ceramic heater (100) are formed such that the symmetrical axes of pairs of connecting portions do not pass through the center (420) of the heating element (400). The present invention has the benefit of providing a ceramic heater (100) in which the heating surface of a ceramic plate has improved temperature uniformity as a result of the reduction of a low temperature region of the heating element included in the ceramic heater. In addition, the present invention has the benefit of providing a ceramic heater (100) in which the heating surface of a ceramic plate has improved temperature uniformity by only changing the design of the structure of the connecting portions connecting the concentric circumferences of the heating element (400) without adding an additional device.

Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic substrate, first and second sheet stacks are formed by pressurizing a plurality of unsintered ceramic sheets, respectively. A hole is formed to penetrate through the second sheet stack. A third preliminary sheet stack is formed by positioning the second sheet stack on the first sheet stack. First and second thin films are formed at top and bottom of the third preliminary sheet stack, respectively. A third sheet stack is formed by pressurizing the first and the second thin films and the third preliminary sheet stack. The first and the second thin films are removed from the third sheet stack, thereby forming a preliminary multilayer ceramic substrate. The preliminary multilayer ceramic substrate is sintered. Accordingly, the reliability and stability of the manufacturing process for the multilayer ceramic substrate is sufficiently improved with reduced cost due to the flat molds and thin films.
