Handbook of Thick- and Thin-Film Hybrid Microelectronics

This is the first handbook on the fabrication and design of hybrid microelectronic circuits. * Deals with all aspects of the technology, design, layout and processing of materials. * Fills the need for a comprehensive survey of a widely-used technology.

"…this handbook provides standard reference material for the hybrid microelectronics area, with a level of detail consistent with a handbook." (MRS Bulletin, April 2005) "This book gives thorough coverage of these subjects; the descriptions are up to date, and cover the fundamentals, so the book should be useful for some time to come." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, November/December 2004)
