The Strengths of Thick-Film Technology 

Thick-film technology is characterized by first class reliability under extreme operating conditions. Since thick-film substrates withstand humidity and high temperatures, it serves as a more efficient solution for protective circuits, pressure sensors and resistance networks than other substrate technologies. In addition, thick-film technology is suitable for combinations with diverse assembly and bonding techniques.

Processes from A to Z 

In the manufacture of thick-film substrates, conductor tracks, resistance surfaces and insulating layers as well as feed-throughs are applied to the substrate by means of screen printing, and then fired at high temperatures. Precise resistances are achieved by using high- and low-resistive pastes as well as through trimming by laser. Microdul masters the following processes:

  • Fine-Pitch Screen Printing
  • Via Technology for Through-Hole-Connections
  • Multiple Resistance Printing with Single Firing
  • (Pushed) NTC and PTC Resistors
  • Multilayer Substrates with 18 Layers and More
  • Ceramic, Nitride, Steel and Copper Substrates
  • Passive and Active Trimming of Resistors
