Unique Capabilities

Low-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) packaging technology is ideal for high-frequency electronics applications and high-reliability designs required in harsh operating environments.

LTCC packaging technology offers many advantages such as:

• Multi-layered structure for reduced package size.
• Buried passive components that offer up to 50% size reduction compared to PCBs.
• Three-dimensional proprietary circuit design that protects intellectual property.
• The ability to withstand extreme operating temperatures from -170 C to +350 C.
• Stability and low-loss in high-frequency applications up to 60 GHz.

Common LTCC applications include:

• Conventional energy, health and medical, cleantech, agriculture and forestry.
• High-temperature electronics.
• High-frequency wireless applications.
• Optoelectronics.

ACAMP offers complete design, assembly, testing and manufacturing services for LTCC packaging.

Industrial Internet of Things applications and autonomous systems rely on wireless electronics that incorporate RF boards and antenna technologies. There is an increasing trend to utilize higher gigahertz frequencies ranges, especially for autonomous vehicles.

ACAMP can design and develop your RF board and antenna, optimize performance through simulation using advanced software tools, test and characterize reciprocity (gain, radiation pattern, impedance, bandwidth, resonant frequency and polarization), noise and interference, and build a prototype.

In electronics manufacturing, integrated circuit packaging is the final stage of semiconductor device fabrication, in which the tiny block of semiconducting material is encased in a supporting case that prevents physical damage and corrosion. The case, known as a ‘package’, supports the electrical contacts which connect the device to a circuit board.

In the integrated circuit industry, it is called simply ‘packaging’ and sometimes ‘semiconductor device assembly’, ‘assembly’, ‘encapsulation’ or ‘seal’.

ACAMP can design and develop a System in Package (SiP), which integrates electronic components like semiconductor dies, passive components, and other elements including MEMS and optical devices, into a single high-density custom package or module that provides multiple functions found in an electronic system or sub-system.
