THICK FILM<\/h1>\n

ON ALUMINA AND ALUMINUM NITRIDE<\/h2>\n

AUREL technology is able to design and manufacture different types of hybrid circuits in Alumina or Aluminum Nitride on substrates with complex geometries and metallized through-holes.<\/p>\n

The technology allows for a high degree of integration, low-cost multilayer structures, and automatic functional trimming.<\/p>\n

      Laser trimming allows achieving extremely precise values (<1%) of the printed resistors (ohmic or passive trimming) or resistance values as a function of circuit measurements (functional trimming).\nDuring trimming, the resistive value is continuously monitored, and cutting stops once the nominal value is reached.<\/p>\n

      With this innovative technology, Thick Film circuits can be manufactured that are very close to thin film solutions, but at lower cost.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Track widths down to 20 \u00b5m.<\/li>\n
      • Thicknesses around 5\u201310 \u00b5m.<\/li>\n
      • Perfect track linearity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        These characteristics make the technology well suited for high-frequency circuits (\u2265 15 GHz) such as interdigitated filters, antennas, etc.<\/p>\n

        Tracks can be made in Au, Ag, PdAg depending on the application and are compatible with the normal Thick Film process, enabling the creation of very complex circuits in small areas.
        \nCurrently, AUREL works on substrates of 3\u201d x 3\u201d.<\/p>\n
