Applied Thin-Film Products – An Overview
ATP offers build-to-print services for a wide range of materials and metalisation schemes. Substrate materials include As-Fired Alumina, Polished Alumina, Superstrate TPS, Aluminium Nitride, Fused Silica/Quartz, Sapphire and Hi-K Dielectrics.
What are Custom Thin Film Circuits?
Custom thin film circuits are build‑to‑print microelectronic circuits produced to individual customer specifications, combining selected substrate materials, metallisation systems and circuit features into a single, application‑ready solution.
Rather than standard product formats, these circuits are designed around the electrical, thermal and mechanical requirements of the end use, allowing optimisation for factors such as frequency performance, power handling, reliability and package integration.
They are typically specified where off‑the‑shelf thin film products cannot meet performance or form‑factor requirements, and are used in demanding RF, microwave, photonic and high‑reliability electronic systems across aerospace, defence, communications and advanced industrial applications.
