  • Low temperature co-fired ceramic structure for high frequency applications and process for making same
    Patent number: 8742262
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) structure comprising a multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic comprising glass-ceramic dielectric layers with screen printed thick film inner conductors on portions of the layers and with thin film outer conductors deposited on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the LTCC. At least a portion of the thin film outer conductors is patterned in the form of lines and the spacings between the lines are less then 50 ?m. Also disclosed is a process for making the LTCC structure.
    Type: Grant
