Kyocera America, Inc. LTCC Division

Kyocera manufactures a variety of air-fired and nitrogen-fired LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) packages. These products have low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and the ability to embed multiple layers of resistors in a multilayer structure. This combination of properties make products of this material ideally suited for many high frequency applications. Kyocera offers products with gold, silver and custom metallurgy's in combination with ceramics of dielectric constants of 6.0 and 7.8. Brazing with standard AuSn, AuGe, InSn and PbSn compositions yields strong bonding that allows pins, lead frames, heat spreaders and connectors to be reliably attached. Incorporation of embedded resistors results in a minimum package footprint with significant functionality.

The KAI LTCC Division of Kyocera America, Inc. utilizes both the Ferro A6 and DuPont LTCC materials for use in these demanding Multi-Chip Modules.

Applications of LTCC packages primarily include telecommunications, hi-reliability and medical.
