PATCHWORK smart power thick-film hybrids for automotive under hood applications

PATCHWORK provides a high degree of integration combining logic and power on one ceramic substrate to respond to customer-specific circuits with acceptable engineering costs and short periods of development. The hybrids are reliable and high-temperature resistant and can be manufactured at a fair market price. The introduction of PATCHWORK combines Ag/Pd/Pt, copper and gold conductors, high temperature solder, window framing design and efficient thermal properties. With these advances in thick film technology many high volume opportunities are open in automotive applications.
