As a mature, well documented technology, ceramic High Density Interconnect (HDI) substrates are used across a wide variety of applications, including medical devices (external and implanted), commercial and military sensors and other markets where size, weight and reliability are paramount. With excellent high frequency properties, HDI offers exceptionally good cost/wiring density ratios. Offering 2 sided, multi-layer capabilities, with line and space widths down to .001”. Available features include laser defined vias and cavity etching for MEMS applications |
