Innovative Technology, Versatile Products
Our Products
Remtec is a leading provider of thin film, thick film, and direct bond copper substrates and packaging products for the electronics industry.
Our advanced ceramic packaging technology—Plated Copper Thick Film (PCTF®)—combines standard thick films with copper plating, advanced materials, and proprietary manufacturing processes to create innovative, cost-effective solutions for electronics applications involving high power, heavy circuit density, and rigorous environmental conditions.
From our US-based manufacturing facility, Remtec designs and fabricates a versatile range of metallized products utilizing PCTF® technology. From metallized ceramic substrates and chip carriers to hermetic and non-hermetic ceramic SMT packages and other specialty components, we can offer a solution not readily achievable with either conventional thin or thick films, or co‐fired ceramics.
Remtec is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, RoHS and ITAR compliant company. Our sales and applications engineering teams deliver rapid responsiveness, short lead-times, and problem-solving support to a diverse customer base.

Our Technology
Remtec Delivers High-Performance Metallized Products for Superior Results
Higher Current Carrying Capacity
Improved Thermal Management
Innovative Ceramic Packages
Remtec leads the industry in the design and fabrication of advanced metallized ceramic solutions for SMT attachment, including leadless hermetic and non-hermetic packages, flip chip carriers, and interposers.
Increased Circuit Density
Remtec’s PCTF® technology combines fine lines (50 µm) and thick copper plated “wires” to significantly increase the density of circuits contained within a miniaturized package.
Wider Frequency Range
Successfully field‐tested to frequencies up to mm range with low losses, Remtec’s metallized ceramic substrates can replace costly thin film circuits without sacrificing performance.
High Assembly Yield
Remtec’s metallized substrates, chip carriers and packages withstand multiple soldering operations, assure excellent solderability, exhibit no solder leaching, and are suitable for a wide range of interconnect techniques.
More Reliable Products
Remtec’s fully‐assembled metallized ceramic substrates are qualified to withstand the extreme environments required for space (Class H and K), military, and biomedical applications without the loss of adhesion, via integrity, and hermeticity.
Value-Added Features
In addition to our copper-plated metallization technology, Remtec offers other features such as plated through holes, solid plugged metal vias, castellations, and integrated, wide-range thick film resistors and multilayers.
