Advanced military multilayer thick film hybrid design

The author examines design criteria and material issues connected with the production of high-quality nine-layer hybrids for GE Aerospace and their advanced IR sensors. Attention is given to density issues, via design, tiered bonding with thick film, and thick-film materials. These hybrids were manually routed and checked. Subsequent investigations into recent CAD (computer-aided design) technology showed that substantial savings could have been achieved in design time.<
