Abstract :
Fuel cells have a very high efficiency, a high power density and they use regenerative energy. These are reasons to use them as an alternative to present portable energy sources. This paper deals with the manufacturing of a Micro-Fuel-Cell-System with the help of LTCC technology. Especially of a muPEMFC (Micro-Proton-Exchange-Membrane-Fuel-Cell). It describes the construction and fabrication of the main fuel cell components: gas flow fields, current collectors and the electrical circuit. The LTCC-Technic for modern electronic packaging will be used to create multilayer ceramics with integrated fluidic and electronic functions.
