LTCC and HTCC Market: Advancements in Ceramic Substrates for Electronics

High-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics (HTCC) and Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) applications fall under co-firing. The sintering temperature of LTCC is less than 900°C. This makes it possible to co-fire extremely conductive materials.

The temperature for HTCC is greater, at around 1,600°C. Further, HTCC components typically consist of numerous layers of alumina or zirconia metalized with tungsten, platinum, and molybdenum.

By 2030, it is predicted that the LTCC and HTCC market would reach USD 4,125.6 million from USD 2,919.0 million in 2022, according to P&S Intelligence. The widespread use of ceramic substrates in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, automotive, and consumer electronics, is what is causing the market to grow.

Additionally, the market for these items will increase due to the need for innovative, affordable tiny circuit boards for electrical components.

In the past years, LTCC accounted for over 70% of total revenue; it is expected that this category would continue to rule in the years to come. The preferred technology for high-frequency circuits is LTCC, which has a ceramic substrate. Excellent electrical characteristics enable limitless stacking.

Moreover, compared to HTCC, its mechanical qualities facilitate form-and-fit adaptability and outstanding mechanical performance in harsh settings.

Further, it is expected that there will be a rise in expenditures on wireless technologies and RF modules as a result of the increased need for high-speed internet in semi-urban and urban areas. These modules rely on LTCC products for consistent communication quality; hence, such expenditures foster the market's expansion.

Manufacturers of LTCC and HTCC are boosting their R&D spending in an effort to improve their manufacturing processes. For instance, the electronic devices group section of Kyocera Corporation spent USD 174.8 million on R&D, an increase of about 17% from 2020.

Its portfolio of electrical and electronic devices, which now comprises a range of sensors, crystal devices, capacitors, thermal printheads, connectors, power semiconductors, inkjet printheads, and wireless communications antennas, was intended to be expanded by this transaction.

In addition, MiniCircuits created a new line of filters based on LTCC technology in August 2021 to serve the millimeter-wave 5G industry. The business was also granted a patent for the same.

Do you know the difference between HTCC and LTCC?

In the early 1980s, the multilayer substrate of the circuit board of the commercialized main computer was co-fired at a high temperature of 1600°C with alumina insulating materials and conductor materials (Mo, W, Mo-Mn), that is, high-temperature co-fired. Fired ceramic (HTCC). With the development of high-frequency and high-speed communication, in order to achieve low loss, high speed, and high-density packaging, low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) came into being. The process flow of low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) and high-temperature co-fired ceramics (HTCC) is similar, including tape casting, drilling, filling, lamination, slicing, co-firing, inspection, and other steps. But do you know the difference between them? The following table is a simple introduction to the difference between LTCC and HTCC, let us see it.

LTCC and HTCC Introduction

A low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) instrument is one of the most swiftly grown essential passive instruments which offers a clarification to the assimilation of passive elements, such as resistor, capacitor, resonator, inductor, filter, and many more into a multi-tiered ceramic module by interlinking each element in tiers. In a like manner, a high-temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) is the similar instrument but with more resistance conductive tiers that is basically employed in extremely high-recurrence electronic packaging applications.

Noticeably, the ceramics packaging solutions are more preferred over all traditional organic technologies owing to its excellent reliability performance. Owing to which, the LTCC and HTCC technologies are witnessing enormous demand in the global market, thus projected to strengthen global market position in the near future.

By the same token, there is only a portion of the development cost needed for monolithic semiconductor assimilation, which further supports the growth of the global LTCC and HTCC market.

Laughin', Smiling, Just--Existing - Raylan Givens x gn! reader

OOOOKAY!! First ever fic for raylan givens!! this one has been two weeks in the making and there are lots more on the way bc I adore him wholeheartedly and have finally gotten to season six after weeks of bingewatching.

fic type - this one is very fluffy!!

Warnings - the reader works as a PSW/CCA in a nursing home so there is one mention of bodily functions--it's more of a reference and it's completely nondescript I promise--and there are mentions of the residents getting aggressive (reader comes home with a bruise on their chin bc of a resident punching them in the face, a scenario based very loosely off my own experience working in an LTCC. They also mention that there might be a few more on their arms and abdomen bc of residents in wheelchairs landing jabs to their stomach with their knees, which has happened to a few of my old coworkers before) and Raylan's line of work is,, well, raylans line of work, so guns, getting shot at and being the one to do the shooting are mentioned. dickie bennett also holds a knife to a pregnant woman in this one (not depicted, briefly mentioned bc raylan was in a crappy mood over it, as he should be) and weed and alcohol are mentioned

Your life with Raylan is normally something close to the opposite of easy, yet still a few backwards steps away from difficult. You’re known to hate his occasionally hectic hours, hate the toll it takes on his body and you know some part of him has to hate it, too. Deep down, both from assumption and the fact that it’s something he brings up once every two or three months, you know he misses teaching shooting at Glynco, though he misses it especially after his worst days.  

You work in an area completely separate of law enforcement—you’ve been working as a PSW since you’d graduated and completed your program when you were twenty, and in the near twenty years since then, your worst days and how you feel at the end of them aren’t even slightly comparable to how Raylan feels at the end of his worst ones. 

You’d done long distance while Raylan was in Miami and were happy to do so, knew that he was happy to do so in turn, and he paid for your flights whenever your smooth weeks came up, made sure to book that time off so you could spend it together. However, when he was transferred to Lexington and moved in with you, hiding your elation was quite the task, and how well you hid it for those first two and a half months when Raylan had come home had been more impressive than not.  

But still—you were up long before he and you normally got home about an hour and a half after he did when you were working and when he had a slow day spent doing paperwork. On days where he was chasing down a fugitive or driving to Harlan, he normally came home after you had been home for at least an hour, sometimes two or three.  

The worst of his days normally meant he’d either been wounded by someone or he’d killed them, and he ended the worst of his days in the hospital to treat his wounds or at home, at your kitchen counter, nursing a neat whiskey while staring at the counter top.  

Your worst were normally a cacophony of crappy coworkers, crappy residents, and sometimes coming home with a bruise because a resident had grabbed you too harshly or, on the rarer occasion, gotten aggressive and punched you in the face or landed a knee in your abdomen. Your worst days were normally not more than shitty coworkers, shitty residents—in both metaphor and physicality—and spending all three of your breaks wanting to go home but finally giving in and having a good cry on your last one, taking an extra five minutes to make sure you’ve convincingly managed to pull yourself together before you head back onto the unit they've assigned you to.

You were never shot at while you gave the residents their food, or while you were in the middle of rolling your eyes when the activities coordinator paged for a PSW to assist when you were short staffed and the LTCA was on break.  

Raylans job was at least partly getting shot at, and sometimes those bullets landed where they’d been aimed towards. It scared the ever-loving shit out of you some days, not knowing if he’d be home at 7:30, when you’d be coming in after a thirty minute commute between the LTCC you worked in and home, or if he'd be laying in a hospital bed, recovering from a bullet wound that had found a home somewhere in his torso.  

After a particularly difficult day in the middle of April, you come home and slip out of the shoes Raylan had gifted you for the previous Christmas and the ones you’d worn to work daily since. You slip your light jacket off and pull your hands through your hair, sighing and pressing your forehead against the door for a few seconds.  

“Raylan?” You call, some part of you terrified that he won’t be home yet even though he normally gets off an hour before you do, outside of when you’re mandated to work nights or he's out in the field.  

“Kitchen, baby,” comes his response. “You doin’ all right?”  

Your scrub top feels too tight, you can feel the hemline of your scrub bottoms on your inner thigh brushing against it like it’s a demon, and you’re so happy your smooth week starts after the 18th that you could genuinely cry about it, but you don’t respond with any of that.  

You don’t respond at all, actually, first heading up to the bedroom that the two of you share to pull a brush through your hair and relax your scalp before then changing into a pair of sleep shorts and one of the Henleys he wears to work on a fairly regular basis. You drape a cardigan over it because Raylan is a big fan of keeping the house cold, pull off the compression socks you wear to work and trade them for a normal pair before you make a beeline down the stairs and for the kitchen.  

“Tough day at work?” He asks pretty much the minute he hears your footsteps as you rush down the stairs in what's almost a sprint, a smirk glinting at the edges of his lips in the last three seconds before he sees you. “Yeah--you did. How’d that happen?”  

The minute you’re within arms reach, Raylan reaches out and lets his hand grace a purple bruise that has spent the last six and a half hours since the residents ate lunch blooming across the bottom of your cheek and your chin.  

“Not tougher than one of your days, I’d imagine,” you laugh. “We have a resident—Lucille, is her name—and she got a little aggressive when she realized we’d moved her husband to a different unit, is all. She took it out on me, but it’s better I get socked in the face than a man of almost 100 years.”  

“He’s almost 100?” Raylan asks in disbelief. “Which makes me think his wife’s the same age—people who’ve been around since 1910 can’t be that strong, Y/N.”  

“He’ll be 100 in two months, and she’s just turned ninety,” you respond. “Closest to an older guy you’ve ever met or dealt with is Arlo, Raylan. You don’t got as much experience as I do, evidently.”  

He laughs, and you let him pull you in and kiss your forehead. “Evidently,” he whispers against your hair. “Glad you made it home in one piece, Y/N. Those residents can be quite the hell raisers sometimes if what you've told me in recent is to be of any indication."

You sigh, press yourself as close to him as you can physically get. “Probably got a few new ones on my arms and stomach too,” you respond, referencing your bruises. “Switched off from Harlan to Mayfield after my lunch break around one thirty. It’s the smallest unit but it’s got the most aggressive residents. They normally have three PSWs down there but all I had with me was the float because Amara, the new hire who’s been around for two weeks, called in sick and Ellie will be on mat leave until September. Had an LTCA with me to help when the float wasn’t around, but I couldn’t find it in myself to guiltlessly ask them to do shit that’s above their pay grade.”  

Raylans lips find the top of your head, one of his hands gently cupping your face. “It’s your smooth week after tomorrow, right?”  

“If I called in sick and took an extra day, how much judgement would I be dealing with?”  

“You dealt with a lot of shit today and you need to lick your wounds,” Raylan laughs, kisses the top of your head again. “No judgement—from me, at least. I was just debatin’ calling Art because I heard that door open and could sense somethin was a bit off with you, wanted to be there if you’d let me.”  

He pauses, pulls away from you enough to look you in the eye. “Are you okay?” He asks, voice somewhat hesitant. “Like--you’re not dealin’ with compassion fatigue or anything like that?”  

“You were Harlan born and raised, didn’t go into the medical field, and you know the term?” You laugh a little. “Not to make you seem dumb but—it's—I have never heard someone outside of the medical professionals I know bring that up.”  

“Art was talkin’ about it today, actually,” Raylan laughs along with you. “One of his daughters is a PSW and she’s just quit workin’ at one of the LTCCs down in South Carolina because of compassion fatigue and a bit of a mental break. Wanted me to make sure you weren’t dealing with the same—he looks out for you where he can, y’know.”  

You’ve been with Raylan since you were two fresh out of high school idiots and completely and utterly clueless about your lives to come. You’d been together since you were eighteen and he was nineteen and had only just started working in the mines with the likes of Boyd Crowder. 

It’s been two decades since those days, though. You’ve known Art for as long as Raylan has known him, have become decent friends after such a long while. He looks out for both you and Raylan where he can, even if he hates Raylans frequent dumbassery while in the field.  

He once told you he did it despite himself and because, dumbassery be as it may, Raylan was still your husband. He sometimes joked he only protected Raylan where he could because he owed it to you for the mac and cheese you’d bring to the office parties in the Glynco days, something you laughed at but sometimes believed to be the truth.  

“I know he does,” you nod. “I know you do, too. I’m grateful for it.”  

“We’ve been married for nineteen years now,” Raylan says. “I was twenty-one and couldn’t picture my life with anyone else. You were twenty and--well, I can't pretend to know your thought process as to be willing to marry an idiot like me. Now, near two fuckin’ decades later, here we stand, somehow. I’m gonna call in, baby. Even if you don’t, I’ll still be waking up for five thirty so I can worm thirty minutes of watching you sleep out of a day of housework.”  

You laugh. “I think Raimi is the RN on nights this week. I’ll give him a call at nine, but my jaw hurts right now and if I have to cook dinner I will be losin’ it.”  

Raylan kisses your forehead. “I’m gonna order us a pizza. You’re only allowed to lose it in your exit interview, should you ever quit.”  

“I’ve stuck around there outta spite, Raylan. I ain’t quittin’ til I’m at least 70.”  

Raylan laughs. “Well, whichever kids we have will just put you into the care centre by that point, won’t they? You’ll never escape if that happens.”  

“You’re goin’ there first,” you respond. “You’ve got a year on me, remember?”  

“It’s one year, Y/N,” he shakes his head. “Even if I do go in first, you’ll be followin’ close behind.”  

You shrug. “Still one year where I’m not in the home and you are, buckaroo."

Raylan snorts. You grab whiskey, glasses, and add ice to yours. You pour it out as Raylan orders a pizza for delivery, watch him walk out into your living room and are completely and totally unsurprised as you hear the sound of country music being played distantly from a record player you’ve kept in the farthest corner of your living room since you put it there upon moving in, back in the days of your and Raylans relationship being long distance and only getting to see him face to face once every six weeks.  

“So that’s a no on the whiskey?” You ask, taking a sip of your own as Raylan comes back around, leaning against the door frame that separates the kitchen and dining area from the living room.  

You hold his whiskey out to him, watch him slam it down like it’s a shot and remember, for all of half a second, being eighteen. You remember that birthday, approaching Mags about buying a few joints to help you sleep and accepting her offer with many thanks when she threw the apple pie moonshine in as a birthday present.   

You remember offering Raylan a glass of the stuff two weeks into your relationship and five months after your birthday, when you’ve been a graduate from your high school for a total of three months and have gotten a bit of moonshine along with your weed whenever you’ve gone to visit Mags’ store in search of food for the inevitable munchies.  

You remember watching him take it like a shot and laughing at the grimace that showed up on his face, kissing him on the cheekbone while you tell him he should sip it. 

Now, you’re thirty-nine and he’s forty, and you’ve been together twenty-one years and married nineteen. He takes whiskey like a champ now—unlike he used to—same with the apple pie shine you still travel to grab a jar or two of whenever you’re in Harlan for some other reason, using melatonin as an excuse to stop off at Mags’ store rather than the weed that you haven’t smoked since you’d moved to Lexington full time at twenty five.  

He extends a hand out to you, grinning slightly. “We’ve got whiskey, and we’ve got good music,” he says. “You know what I’m about to ask you, Y/N.”  

You slam your whiskey before you can stop yourself, take his hand with a smile so big that it hurts. 

“And I think you know my answer already, Mr. Givens,” you laugh as you let him pull you into the center of your living room, the two of you dancing like you used to at the parties Mags invited you to whenever she held them, the ones you always brought Raylan along to after grinning in a way that you knew made it innately difficult for him to refuse.  

Eventually, a slower song comes up, so naturally, you start up a slow dance. Raylan holds you close and you’ve the mind to let him, basking in the sheer comfort you feel whenever he’s so much as within your vicinity.  

Since you were eighteen, he’s been one of the biggest points of comfort in your life. When you started the PSW program he was there. When you’d been at the point in said program of doing on-site training, Raylan came down to Harlan from college every weekend he could manage and comforted you when the change in environment felt like too much to handle. You’ve spent more than half of your life as his partner, and you wouldn’t have it any other way, if you’re being completely honest with yourself.  

“I wake up most mornings feeling like I don’t deserve you, y’know?” Raylans voice is quiet, barely above a whisper. “Even when we were younger—I'd look at you while you were laughin’, or smiling, or just—existing, I guess, and I would go “there ain’t no way in hell I deserve this person. Not a chance.”” 

You grin despite yourself, gaze softening as your eyes meet his. “You deserve me and everything I can give you,” you say it gently, like you’re trying to remind him of such when he’s drunk out of his mind and can’t quite stop rambling.  

Raylans gaze softens, and you know exactly what it means after having been with him for so long—he doesn’t believe you, and he’s had a shitty day, and all it’ll take is three seconds before you’re consumed with the urge to know why he’s so mellow when normally, he can get angry with the drop of his damned cowboy hat.  

“What happened at work today, Raylan?” You reach over, take the needle off the record. “I know something did, before you deny it. You mentioned being down in Harlan when you woke up this morning, remember? One of the only times both of us have had to be up for six. What happened down there today?” Normally, with his work hours, he’s not up until seven or going into work until eight, but Art had been up because his boss had woken him up and had decided to make it Raylans problem at six in the morning, due to his ties to the county.  

“Got called down there because of Dickie fuckin’ Bennett,” he laughs tiredly, gaze still soft as he looks at you. “Had an ex girlfriend come around, I guess—point is, she was eight months pregnant and I watched him hold her at knife-point today. Mags got to him before the back up I called in could manage it, and when she was done with him he was seeing stars. The girlfriend was scared shitless, and rightly so, and I just—I couldn’t stop thinking about how desperately I wanted to get home. I needed this, Y/N. More than I think you’ll ever be able to comprehend.”  

You bite your lip. “Well, I’m glad my mere presence could be of assistance to your mental health then, Raylan.”  

He laughs. “Don’t you get too big of an ego on me, Y/N,” he says. “And--before you start, don’t go feelin’ bad for venting to me about how shitty your day was, neither. You’re allowed to have bad days, same as me.”  

“Well--true as that may be, my bad days are just bruises on the chin and crappy people to work with. Sometimes I get bitchy when we’re understaffed, but those things should not a bad day make, especially not compared to one of yours.” 

“I would rather not sit with the knowledge that you might’ve been the one to watch DIckie do as he did today, had our places been swapped,” Raylan says.  

“And I find the idea of comin’ home and seein’ you bruised preferable to comin’ home and seein’ you shot, Raylan,” you laugh. “But--our bad days are valid as any, they just have different weights.”  

“Yeah, and I’ve had a bad day, where it seems you’ve had a bad week,” Raylan laughs. “Not once since you started working as a PSW have I ever seen you come home and debate calling in, even when your smooth week starts after your next shift.”  

You press your forehead against his shoulder, arms around his waist, and try not to break down in his arms.  

You’ve worked days every single day you’ve worked that week, and you hate them. Evenings feel like the jackpot in terms of shifts for you, normally, and you’d rather work a night than work day shifts. During the day, residents are awake. They’re easier to accidentally provoke, easier to anger at almost nothing.  

“I wanna quit,” you whisper.  

“I know, baby,” one of his hands goes to your hair. “Todays got me contemplating Glynco again, honestly.”  

You let him pull you as close as he can, want nothing more than to just fall asleep in his arms and wake up way later than you’re supposed to to find his arms around your waist and his chin tucked into the crook of your neck while he holds you as close as he can manage while he sleeps. 

But, of course, the doorbell rings. You pull away and head upstairs for your phone while Raylan pays for the pizza, call in sick with the excuse of joint pain and happen to walk downstairs in time to see Raylan asking for the next day off.  

When Raylan grins at you, you know Art has agreed to the extra day on top of the week Raylan had booked out in time with your smooth week.  

The two of you head back through the kitchen to the dining room, and when Raylan hugs you from behind while you pour out a glass of soda, all you can do is smile. 

“I adore you, Mr. Givens,” you say, passing him your glass so that he can add ice to it. You pour him one without—ironic given that he prefers it when the house runs cold—while he adds ice to your glass and grabs the paper plates so that you can avoid doing too many dishes when you tackle housework tomorrow.  

“I return the sentiment, Mx. GIvens,” Raylan says it with a shit eating grin, and you kiss him in spite of it.  

The two of you eat dinner while he lets you talk about the good parts of your day—a resident who had a fall and hadn’t been eating great since had started eating really good again, another of the residents made so many jokes that you lost count after twenty seven, and the compression socks had worked wonders and your feet didn’t hurt so terribly upon arriving at home. 

The good parts of Raylans day wound up being the look on Arts face when he was pissed off at someone other than Raylan. It was the glass of Mags’ apple pie he’d gotten when he went to question her at her store, seeing DIckie Bennett’s face bloodied to near unrecognition, and the sound of your voice when you’d come home, exhausted but relieved and, dare he say it, a little happy. 

All in all, it’s an amazing end to a shitty day, and you’re grateful for it.

What is the difference between ceramic, high frequency and ordinary PCB boards?

Ceramic substrate is a kind of special PCB board with good thermal conductivity, insulation performance, and high dielectric constant. It is widely used in terminal products in the field of heat dissipation. Commonly used ceramic-based materials include aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, zirconium oxide, ZTA, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, etc. FR circuit board refers to a circuit with epoxy glass fiber cloth as the main material. So, what is the difference between ceramic circuit board and ordinary PCB board

The difference between ceramic substrate and PCB board

Different materials. Ceramic substrate is an inorganic material, and the core is aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride; ordinary PCB board uses FR4 glass fiber board, which is an organic material. Ordinary PCB board can be laminated in multiple layers. LTCC is the mainstream of ceramic multilayer circuit board. The ceramic multilayer process currently being developed by Hitech Circuits Co., Ltd. is different from the traditional method. It uses magnetron sputtering technology to grow a layer of ceramic medium on the ceramic circuit board that has been metallized, and then re-metallizes this layer of medium to make the second layer of circuit.

b. The performance and application of ceramic substrates are different. The thermal conductivity of ceramic substrates far exceeds that of ordinary PCB boards. The thermal conductivity of alumina ceramics is ≧25W(m·K), and the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride ceramics is ≧170W(m·K). They are used in industries with large heat dissipation requirements, such as high-power LED lighting, high-power modules, high-frequency communications, and track power supplies. The thermal expansion coefficient of ceramic substrates is more compatible with silicon wafers, and the product stability is higher. Ordinary PCB boards are widely used, mostly in private commercial products.

The difference between ceramic substrates and high-frequency boards

Different materials. Ceramic substrates are made of aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride, while high-frequency boards are mostly made of Rogers, Yalong, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc., with low dielectric constants and fast high-frequency communication speeds.

Different performance. Ceramic substrates are widely used in cooling sheets and systems, high-power modules, automotive electronics and other fields. High-frequency PCB boards are mainly used in high-frequency communications, aviation, high-end consumer electronics, etc.

3. In the field of high-frequency communications involving heat dissipation requirements, ceramic substrates are usually required to be combined with high-frequency PCB boards, such as high-frequency ceramic PCBs.

*does a silly little dance bc yeah, being jobless means no money after april 11th (they didn't pay me for my final two shifts, though it would've been three had I not called in today bc y'know, they basically snubbed me bc they'd put my specific job back on indeed approximately five days before they sent me an email to let me know my contract was not renewed and naturally, that would make one feel like shit) but it also means I can have fun hair again and will finally have time to read and write consistently after not being able to for seven fucking weeks*
