Thick film technology
Thick-film technology comes from electronics. It is a manufacturing process for simple, compact electronic circuits. By means of screen printing, conductive tracks as well as capacitors, resistors and spiral-shaped inductors are applied to an insulating carrier material in various layer thicknesses from paste-like mixtures of an organic binder with conductive substances and burnt in.
Compared to thin film technology, thick-film technology can work with greater electrical power.
