Green Laser Depaneling of ceramic circuit boards

With laser depaneling systems by LPKF printed circuit boards made of ceramic materials can be processed in addition to a wide range of other materials. The cutting edges are produced technically clean, highly precise and cost-efficient.

Characteristics of ceramic PCBs

Due to their excellent thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion, ceramic printed circuit boards are preferably used in the high-performance sector. In addition, the material ceramic is characterized by its excellent chemical errosion resistande and mechanical hardness.

Especially because of their extremly hardness, the materials are barely machinable with the help of mechanical cutting processes such as milling or sawing.

Application of ceramic circuit boards

Ceramic printed circuit boards are used in a variety of different applications that have increased demands on robustness and reliability of the boards. These include, for example:

Automotive industry: e.g. sensor/radar modules, ESC/ABS and EMS

Medical technology: e.g. MEMS (Micro-Electronical-Mechanical Systems)

Telecommunication: e.g. RF modules

Luft- und Raumfahrt: zB berührungssichere Schaltungen

Weitere: zB Kameramodule
