Thick-film hybrid integrated circuits (HICs) are sophisticated electronic circuits that integrate multiple electrical components into a single unit. The "thick-film" aspect refers to the process of depositing conductive, resistive, and insulating materials onto a substrate, accomplished through techniques such as screen printing and firing layers of paste materials to form the desired circuit patterns. These circuits are designed to be compact, reliable, and high-performing, suitable for operation in challenging environments.
The primary substrates used in thick-film hybrid integrated circuits include 96% Al2O3 ceramic substrates, beryllium oxide (BeO) ceramic substrates, aluminum nitride (AIN)-based substrates, among others. The 96% Al2O3 ceramic substrate, made predominantly of aluminum oxide, is valued for its excellent electrical insulation, thermal conductivity, and stability, making it an ideal platform for circuit components in thick-film HICs. These circuits encompass various product types such as active, passive, and electromechanical components, serving diverse applications such as avionics and defense, automotive systems, telecommunications, computer technology, consumer electronics, and more.
