Optical Components
Ti/Pt/Au Thin Film Circuits
It is possible to realize products for various applications with highly reliable circuit substrates.
- The middle layer is made of platinum which has high solder resistance.
- Active titanium is used at the interface between the ceramics and the metallization to improve reliability.
- The upper layer is made of gold as standard and a wire bonding option is also possible.
- AIN ceramics which has superior heat conduction is also available.
- It is also possible to apply Au/Sn solder to the top layer.
AuSn Solder
By applying AuSn solder to the circuit substrate in advance, mounting can be carried out without any further processing.
Standard Composition | Au:Sn = 70:30 (wt%) (Other compositions are also available) |
---|---|
Standard thickness (t) | 3.5μm (Up to 5μm) |
Film thickness tolerance | ±1μm (Possible to get up to ±0.5μm) |

Side Patterns
Patterns can also be applied to the side of the substrate.
Main Applications
- Substrates for optical components
- Chip components for mounts
- Various circuit substrates
