The advantages of LTCC:
- low permittivity tolerance
- good thermal conductivity
- low TCE (adapted to silicon and GaAs)
- excellently suited for multilayer modules
- integration of cavities and and passives such as R-, L-, and C-components
- very robust against mechanical and thermal stress (hermetically sealed)
- composeable with fluidic, chemical, thermal, and mechanical functionalities
- low material costs for silver conductor paths
- low production costs for medium and large quantities
