Method of making dielectric bodies with selectively formed conductive or metallic portions and composites therewith

Abstract

Abstract THIS APPLICATION RELATES TO A PROCESS OF PREPARING A BODY HAVING CONDUCTIVE AND DIELECTRIC PORTIONS. A SURFACE ZONE OF A DIELECTRIC BODY IS SELECTIVELY REDUCED TO A METAL AND A CONDUCTOR IS THEREAFTER ADHERED TO THE SELECTIVELY-REDUCED SURFACE ZONE. THE ADHERING MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY JOINING A CONDUCTOR SUCH AS A METAL OR GRAPHITE TO THE REDUCED ZONE OR BY PLATING A METAL ON THE CONDUCTIVE SURFACE ZONE. PARTICULARLY, YTTRIUM IRON GARNET IS JOINED TO A CONDUCTOR BY HEATING A SURFACE REGION OF THE DIELECTRIC BODY IN A REDUCING ENVIRONMENT TO A TEMPERATURE NOT LOWER THAN 700*C. TO REDUCE THE SURFACE REGION. THE CONDUCTOR AND DIELECTRIC TO BE JOINED MAY BE PLACED INTO CONTACT EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE SURFACE REDUCTION ZONE IS FORMED.
