Episode 1: Thick Film Microelectronics: Technology and Applications

Thick film technology revolutionizes microelectronics with affordability, durability, and compactness. It involves screen-printing pastes on substrates like alumina, then firing at 600-1000°C to create high power density circuits for heaters, biosensors, and wearables. Cost-effective and reliable in harsh conditions, it supports multi-layer designs. Used in automotive sensors, medical biosensors, and aerospace heaters, it offers an innovative toolkit for engineers.
