Electronic Films covers thin-film and thick-film passive and active elements deposited onto substrate materials — including ceramic, polyimide and glass — to form resistors, capacitors and conductive interconnects, typically produced via physical vapour deposition (PVD), sputtering or screen-printing processes, and used within avionics and defence electronics where precise electrical characteristics and high reliability under MIL-SPEC conditions are required.
