ASAHI GLASS FRITS AND PASTES
PRODUCT TYPES
 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.
