What does LTCC mean?

LTCC stands for Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics. These are also known as Glass Ceramics, because glass is mixed into the material. LTCC allow the use of low electrical resistance metals (such as copper) as conductors, since LTCC are co-fired under lower temperatures than other ceramics. As a result, LTCC can offer lower transmission loss than conventional alumina ceramics, and are therefore used to package cutting-edge semiconductors and high-frequency devices.
