A hybrid
integrated circuit, HIC, hybrid microcircuit, and it is
a hybrid that is a tiny electronic circuit designed of
specific devices, such as semiconductor devices (e.g. transistors and diodes)
and passive elements (e.g. resistors, inductors, and capacitors), connect
to a substrate or printed circuit board (PCB).
Thick film technology is always utilized as the interlocked
modes for hybrid integrated circuits. The use of screen printed thick film
intersects offers many benefits of adaptability over the thin film even though
quality sizes might be outsized and put down resistors wider in persistence.
The multi-layer thick film is a system for a further step up in amalgamation
using a screen-printed padding dielectric to make sure bonding between layers
is built only where necessary. One major benefit for the circuit maker is a
full choice in the option of resistor importance in thick-film technology.
Benefits Of Hybrid Circuits
- · Elements which cannot be built-in in
a monolithic IC can be utilized, for example, capacitors of great value,
abrasion elements, crystals, inductors.
- · The circuit maker is full autonomy
in the alternative of resistor value in thick film technology.
- ·
The work of art and sizes of
resistors can be chosen to give the desired values.
- ·
The ultimate resistor worth is
determined by design and can be accustomed by laser trimming.
- ·
Modification before the final
experiment can be accomplished by active laser trimming.
- ·
Some innovative hybrid circuit
technologies, like LTCC-substrate hybrids, take into consideration for
entrenching of components within the sheets of a multi-layer substrate moreover
to elements positioned on the surface of the substrate.
