Device Manufacturing

MRA offers device manufacturing services for customers who wish to have their raw materials manufactured into finished components for the purposes of modifying, testing or improving dielectric or electrode ink formulations; and to demonstrate to potential customers the performance of their materials in finished electronic components.

MRA technology for device manufacturing is based on a unique wet film deposition process. In this process, ceramic dielectric paint flows over an elevated weir and falls as a vertical curtain depositing a uniform layer of paint on moving carrier plates. Internal electrodes are then screen printed on the dried deposit and the cycle repeated to build the multi-layer ceramic (MLC) structure.

The resulting thickness of individual dielectric layers within the fired multi-layer ceramic can be controlled to as low as 5 microns. The simplicity of the wet film deposition process and the range in capacities of our precision paint and print process make our device manufacturing facilities ideally suited for operations from design feasibility trials to prototyping to customized manufacturing.

MRA can also mass-produce custom components for specific applications. A sample of components we can produce include

• Customized MLC Chip Capacitors
• High Temperature MLC Capacitors
• High Voltage Energy Storage Devices
• Multilayer Ceramic Sensors
• Multilayer Substrates
• Co-fired Dual Dielectric Devices
• Multilayer Actuators
