ASAHI GLASS FRITS AND PASTES PRODUCTS AREAS


Asahi Glass Frit and Paste Advantages

Advanced lead-free glass frit technology

Low fire glasses

Superior acid and moisture resistant glasses

Wide range of sealing glasses

Excellent fluxing glasses

Strong dielectric chemistries

Ability to modify glass compositions to meet custom requirements

Large glass frit portfolio

Advanced Glass Frit Manufacturing Technology

ASAHI GLASS FRITS AND PASTES HIGHLIGHTS


Fluxing Glasses:

Help reduce the temperature which dielectric or other glass melt

Improve glass flow characteristics

Improve product densification

Sealing Glasses

Provide hermetic glass seal for structure

Usually high reliability electronic package, vacuum display product or sensors.

Glasses need to have similar CTE as package materials.

Need low atmospheric permeability

Thick Film Formulation Glasses

Provides matrix for filler used in Hybrid IC pastes

Fillers can include conductors, resistors, insulators and other materials.

Usually needs good acid, moisture and humidity resistance.

ASAHI GLASS FRITS AND PASTES PRODUCT TYPES


Bonding Glasses

Excellent CTE match to substrates.

Good thermal and mechanical shock resistance.

Good acid, humidity and moisture resistance.

Over-glaze Glasses

AlN Glasses

Low Temperature Co-fire Ceramic Glasses:

LTCC glasses can be the main component in low temperature (<1000oC) fired substrates.

Can be used for lower fire products and reduce the need for precious metals in the conductor and termination materials.

Superior dielectric properties

Low loss of signal at high frequencies.

Excellent acid, moisture and humidity resistance.
