Remtec manufactures high performance metallized laser/photo diodes submounts, optoelectronics circuits, and spacers to customer specification
Remtec manufactures high performance metallized laser/photo diodes submounts, optoelectronics circuits, and spacers to customer specification. Remtec's submounts are produced on AlN and BeO. For less thermally demanding applications, alumina base material is available. Ceramic surface finish can be held to less than 2 µm with a "knife edge" angle.

Remtec's PCTF® (Plated Copper on Thick-Film) metallization with edge-wraps and plugged vias is well suited to provide costs effective solutions for laser/photo diode submounts and optoelectronics circuits. PCTF technology combines elements of thick and thin films with plated copper and nickel/gold finish. Remtec offers a range of customer driven metallization schemes with excellent and reliable adhesion.
