Thin, Flexible Alumina Ribbon Ceramic and its Application in 5G mmWave Filter

Device manufacturers need innovative new materials to develop smarter, faster, smaller next-gen electronic devices. Corning has invented a new generation of high-performance ceramic substrates in entirely new form factors that can help with these problems. Thin flexible Alumina Ribbon Ceramic provides a set of attractive attributes with very low dielectric loss, electrical insulation and good thermal conduction. Its thin and large form factor provide an advantage to fit into many unique designs in a broad application space. In this talk, we introduce Alumina Ribbon Ceramic, with its key properties and downstream processing capabilities. We also present our research work on its potential application in 5G mmWave filter with transmission lines characterization in 30-170GHz band range.
