Low-temperature cofired ceramics (LTCCs) are thin ceramics. They are used in a green state, e.g., for multilayer circuits or, after being sintered, as robust component substrates. LTCCs are difficult to process due to their sensitivity to mechanical factors – and are hence perfect candidates for laser processing.
The LPKF ProtoLaser U4 uses a UV laser source. Many material groups are easy to process at these wavelengths – without additional tools, masks, or films. Learn more: http://www.lpkf.com/products/rapid-pc...
