Metrigraphics, a supplier of ultra-high, precision, custom micro components for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will feature its latest micron-scale flexible circuits and thin film devices at IMS 2016, in San Francisco from May 24 - 26, 2016.
Micron-scale flexible circuits from Metrigraphics can be produced in multi-layers and with circuit lines as narrow as 3 microns. They’re flexible enough to wrap around small objects and are durable enough for harsh MIL-COM environments. Circuits are achieved via high-resolution photolithography, as well as sputtered thin-film and plated metal deposition techniques. Multilayer flexible circuits are constructed of several independently stacked, aligned and interconnected layers composed of very thin sputtered metal on polyimide substrates. Typical applications include sensors, electrodes, coils, resistors, inductors, conductors, and bridges.
To manufacture flexible circuits with such high-trace resolution, they employs a mix of proprietary and industry-standard processes. These include high-resolution photolithography as well as sputtered thin-film and plated metal deposition. Multilayer flexible circuits are constructed of several independently stacked, aligned and interconnected layers composed of very thin sputtered metal or thicker-plated metal, such as gold or copper, on polyimide substrates. Plated conductive vias connect the different layers as required. They offers via sizes down to a 25-micron diameter. Stop by their booth #1012 at IMS 2016 to learn more.
