Hirai TechnologyCeramic process

High Substrate Technology for Module Miniaturization

Glass-ceramics are fired under 1000 degrees, therefore Ag, AgPd and Au can be used as co-fired inner conductor.
In addition, the signal delay becomes shorter due to low dielectric constant which is lower than Alumina substrates.
Because thermal expansion coefficient of LTCC is similar to silicon, it is easy to bond die directly to the pad or to be connected flip chip.

Shim parts

The insulating spacer 0.15mmt that is available under the high temperature environment is possible.

Cavity structure substrates

We have capability for the multistage and multiple application.

White substrates

White substrates is available for from thin-film circuit to roughness adjusted by polishing.

Large size

An inner layer power supply, GND and the signal line inner layer are also available.
