Metrigraphics is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of today's RF/Microwave manufacturer and medical biosensor OEM who is looking to break through the boundaries of what a typical flex circuit can do.
From prototyping to volume manufacturing, Metrigraphics offers full lifecycle flex circuit and non-flex circuit production capabilities that include:
Using additive photolithographic processes, extreme-resolution, micro flex circuits can be manufactured. For some designs we can achieve traces as narrow as three microns. These flex circuits can also be delivered in complex, high-resolution shapes and patterns. These microcircuits are produced with very thin layers of sputtered metal, or thicker-plated metal such as gold or copper, on Polyimide substrates.
Using electroforming, photolithography and proprietary technology, Metrigraphics makes a wide variety of ultra-miniature microelectronic flex circuits that achieve product-design goals not possible any other way.
Flexible microcircuit products include:
Applications for single-layer microcircuits include invasive medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics, and other biosensors. Multi-layer flex circuits (up to six or more layers) include additional conductive layers that are independently stacked, aligned and interconnected. Plated conductive vias connecting the different layers are often required. Applications for these circuits often include small RF/microwave antennas and high vibration environment circuits.
