Thin Film Substrates

Nanowave Technologie offers a variety of Thin Film products, which are used in our own RF Systems and Subsystems. The reliabilty and quality is proven by numerous applications in Defense and Avionics where our Thin Film Technology is the platform for microwave and millimeterwave circuits.

Our focus is low to medium volumn specialized applications, such as thermal managment, high current, and low RF loss.

 

Thick Copper Technology

Used for high-current, low-loss applications, offer very effective heat dissipation. Available on both, Alumina and AlN, with and without solder mask (green layer in right picture).
