Technical Applications of High-Precision Thick Film Screen Printer in HTCC Ceramic Circuit Boards
HTCC, or High-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics, involves preparation temperatures of 1300 to 1600°C, differing from LTCC (Low-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics). In HTCC, thick film screen printing creates circuitry. This process prints high-melting-point metals like tungsten, molybdenum, and manganese onto green ceramic substrates. After layering, they undergo high-temperature sintering.
HTCC is applied in various fields due to its excellent properties, especially in demanding environments. Key applications include:
Microwave Device Packaging: Used for RF and microwave circuits in communications and radar systems.
Large Integrated Circuit Packaging: Ideal for packaging large ICs with superior thermal conductivity and mechanical strength.
Hybrid Integrated Circuit Packaging: Integrates resistors, capacitors, and inductors into a single design for high-density integration.
Optoelectronic Device Packaging: Packaging for LEDs and lasers that meets high-temperature and high-power demands.
High-Temperature Sensors: Suitable for extreme environmental monitoring due to high-temperature resistance.
Power Components: Provides electrical insulation and thermal management in power modules for high-power solutions.
These applications highlight HTCC’s importance in technology-driven markets, particularly in aerospace, military, and medical sectors.
To prepare HTCC, high-precision thick film printing are essential for processes like ceramic shell packaging, substrates, and heating bodies. In response to market needs, WISDOM has developed HTCC-specific Thick Film Screen Printer. These printers come with customized platforms for various shapes and areas. The via filling technology is mature, with successful cases in mass production.
