CONDUCTOR
❑ Conductivity is a
function of the
number of free
electrons and their
mobility.
❑ Conductors
conduct electricity
readily because they
have many free and
mobile electrons
available to carry
the current.
Hybrid Integration 3

INSULATOR
❑ At the other end of
the spectrum from
conductors are the
insulators, which
are very poor
conductors of
electricity.
❑ Their valence
electrons are
tightly bound and
not free to move
within the
structure.

SEMICONDUCTOR
❑ Materials that are
intermediate in
their conductivities
between insulators
and conductors are
known as
semiconductors.
❑ the Si-Si bond
strength (43
kcaVmol) is far
weaker than the C-
C bond strength
(83 kcaVmol)

HYBRID INTEGRATION
Hybrid circuits are
circuits in which chip
devices of various
functions are electrically
interconnected on an
insulating substrate on
which conductors
or combinations of
conductors and resistors
have previously been
deposited.
Hybrid microcircuits are
often classified as either
thin film or thick
film based on the
process used to fabricate
the interconnect
substrate.

HYBRID INTEGRATION
Hybrid microcircuits are
used in applications
where high density, low
volume, and low weight
are required for an
electronic system.
Without these
constraints, printed
wiring boards with
solder-attached pre-
packaged components
are more economical.

HYBRID INTEGRATION
The development of
masks and requirements
for expensive equipment
and special cleanroom
facilities and controls
make custom IC
manufacture feasible only
for high-volume
production.
The hybrid-circuit
approach is more
versatile and suitable for
small to- moderate
production quantities of
many different circuit
types. Hybrids are also
more suited to custom
circuits than are ICs.

APPLICATIONS
Analog-to-digital (A/D)
converters are the closest
thing to a “standard”
product that the hybrid
industry has. Hybrid
technology allows the very
best monolithic IC to be
combined with high-
accuracy laser trimmed
thin-film resistors to provide
the most accurate circuit.
Still another area in which
hybrids are extensively used
is in electrical test
equipment. The Tektronix
2400 series of oscilloscopes
employ eleven custom
Hybrids circuits.
