Multi-layer Thin Film Circuit Manufacturing

ThinFilmCircuitsMetrigraphics has developed new breakthroughs in processing substrate-based ultra-miniaturized thin film circuits. The additive thin film processes used are an alternative to traditional chemical etching, which causes circuit lines to slope, resulting in performance variations and yield issues. Using these additive fabrication techniques, Metrigraphics can manufacture circuits in prototype through high volumes.
