Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics

Product catalog summary

Overview of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC):
LTCC is a multi-layer, glass ceramic substrate co-fired with low resistance metal conductors like Ag or Cu at temperatures below 1000°C. Murata's LTCC is notable for its 'Zero Shrinkage Sintering Process,' which limits shrinkage to the z-direction, ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface flatness.

Key Features:

Excellent electrical characteristics due to low dielectric ceramic material and low resistance Ag conductors.
Environmentally friendly: Pb-free, Cd-free, RoHS compliant.
High acid and alkaline durability, suitable for plating.

Applications:

Automotive: High reliability controller modules.
RF Applications: High density small outline module substrates.

Technical Specifications:

Firing temperature: 890°C.
Composition: Glass (CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-B2O3) + Alumina (Al2O3).
Conductor Material: Ag.
Dielectric Constant: 5.5 at 1MHz.
Thermal Conductivity: 2.5 W/m K.

Design and Manufacturing:

Pressure-assisted Zero-Shrinkage Sintering ensures high dimensional accuracy and flatness.
Multi-layer structures for automotive (4-6 layers) and RF applications (10-25 layers).
Embedded components like capacitors and inductors.

Certifications:

ISO/TS16949:2002 since 2006.
ISO14001:2004 since 2005.
ISO9001:2000 since 1994.

Design Support and RF Characteristics:

Design support available through CAD and simulation systems.
RF characteristics monitored through test patterns on panel matrices.

Murata's LTCC Series:

LFC® Series: High integration and miniaturization for automotive industry.
AWG/SWG Series: Suitable for low profile, small outline RF modules.

Important Notes:

Read ratings and cautions for storage, operating, soldering, mounting, and handling to prevent hazards.
Specifications in the catalog are typical; approval of product specifications is required before ordering.
