ASAHI GLASS FRITS AND PASTES PRODUCT TYPES
Fluxing Glasses:
Help reduce the temperature which dielectric or other glass melt
Improve glass flow characteristics
Improve product densification
Sealing Glasses
Provide hermetic glass seal for structure
Usually high reliability electronic package, vacuum display product or sensors.
Glasses need to have similar CTE as package materials.
Need low atmospheric permeability
Thick Film Formulation Glasses
Provides matrix for filler used in Hybrid IC pastes
Fillers can include conductors, resistors, insulators and other materials.
Usually needs good acid, moisture and humidity resistance.

ASAHI GLASS FRITS AND PASTES PRODUCT TYPES
Bonding Glasses
Excellent CTE match to substrates.
Good thermal and mechanical shock resistance.
Good acid, humidity and moisture resistance.
Over-glaze Glasses
AlN Glasses
Low Temperature Co-fire Ceramic Glasses:
LTCC glasses can be the main component in low temperature (<1000oC) fired substrates.
Can be used for lower fire products and reduce the need for precious metals in the conductor and termination materials.
Superior dielectric properties
Low loss of signal at high frequencies.
Excellent acid, moisture and humidity resistance.
