Co-fired ceramic is available in two process types, namely, LTCC (Low-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic), and HTCC (High-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic). LTCC process type is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period as it is used in various applications such as high radio frequency, wireless devices, antennas, and radar. The LTCC process allows metallization with conductive materials such as silver, gold, and copper at a lower temperature compared to the HTCC process. The LTCC process offers properties such as low-loss of electric signals, high component density, increased functionality, excellent stability, and reliability.
Co-fired ceramics are finding increasing application in the automotive segment. This growing use of co-fired ceramic in the automotive industry is mainly due to the demand for high performance and compact electronic components. The co-fired ceramic is used in the form of LTCC and HTCC in various applications in the automotive industry. The co-fired ceramic is used widely in engine control units, transmission control units, electronic power steering, engine management system, antilock brake systems, airbag control modules, LEDs (automotive lighting), entertainment & navigation systems, pressure control modules, pressure sensor, radar modules, and various sensor modules in vehicles.
