High Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (HTCC)

High Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (HTCC) is an advanced material widely recognized in high-tech industries for its exceptional thermal stability, electrical properties, and structural integrity, making it ideal for hermetic packaging solutions. HTCC packages, such as those produced by AdTech Ceramics, are integral in demanding applications within sectors like aerospace, defense, and medical devices. These packages support high-temperature and high-reliability requirements, providing dense metal interconnects and hermetically sealed vias.

The HTCC fabrication process involves several stages: material preparation, green processing, co-firing, and post-fire processing. During the initial material preparation, raw dielectric materials are milled to create a ceramic "green tape," complemented by conductive inks. In the green processing phase, the ceramic is molded and prepared by cavity punching, via filling, screen printing, and lamination. The final structure undergoes co-firing in a controlled atmosphere, where the ceramic-metal composite is solidified. Subsequent post-fire processes, including additional printing, machining, sawing, and brazing, refine the package. To ensure optimal performance in solder and wire bonding applications, HTCC packages are typically plated with nickel and gold, with both electroless and electrolytic options available.

For technical specifications, design rules, and layout guidelines, refer to GEM Optoeletronics' Design and Capabilities Guideline for HTCC packages.
