Materials and processes used for high functionality hybrid circuit packages based on ceramic substrates are described. Emphasis is on hybrid circuits used for telecommunications and related applications. Examples include packages utilizing thin film technology, thick film technology and combinations of the two technologies. Various thick and thin multilayer approaches to achieve high interconnection density are discussed. These employ a variety of metal conducting systems in conjunction with glasses and/or polymeric materials as dielectric insulating layers.
