Review
"…this handbook provides standard reference material for the hybrid microelectronics area, with a level of detail consistent with a handbook." (MRS Bulletin, April 2005)

"This book gives thorough coverage of these subjects; the descriptions are up to date, and cover the fundamentals, so the book should be useful for some time to come." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, November/December 2004)

From the Back Cover
Thick and thin film hybrid microelectronics has revolutionized the microelectronics industry. Its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, programmability, precision, and broad range of applications–from cell phones to laptops–make this the technology of the future. Industry experts predict that in a few years, almost everything from shoes to windows to children’s toys will integrate microelectronics.

Handbook of Thick and Thin Film Hybrid Microelectronics is the definitive source of detailed information on all the important topics in modern hybrid microelectronics. This academically rigorous handbook presents a comprehensive treatment of materials, their characteristics, and their field of applications. Useful as a standard desk reference for professionals and as a textbook for students, this book provides insights into:

• Circuit design, layout, and fabrication of hybrid electronic circuits
• Both high and low frequency applications
• Packaging and thermal considerations
• Microwave integrated circuits
• Electronic materials and the engineering aspects of the multichip module (MCM)
• Application procedures for thick and thin films
