Thick film pastes and inks developed with ActiveCopper maintain improved thermal and electrical conductivity, while helping to address the effects of thermal expansion during the processing of and usage in electrical circuits and components. Another added benefit is the ability to effectively “tune” the thermal expansion of the copper for optimal performance and reliability when matched with a variety of materials such as ceramics, silicon, silicon carbide, and more.  ActiveCopper’s family of pastes and inks provide solutions for a wide range of applications such as via fills, die attach, EMI shielding, conductive adhesive, and more.
