Specifically designed for next-generation high-frequency bands (millimeter-wave and 6G), the newly developed NL-Ag8 is a high-end product that redefines conventional limits through fully optimized material design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recommended Applications<br><strong>\u30fbHigh-Frequency Module Substrates (5G\/6G &amp; Automotive Radar)<\/strong><br>Exhibits minimal variation in dielectric constant up to 100 GHz, minimizing discrepancies between simulation results and actual device performance. Mitigates signal attenuation and heat generation at the material level, significantly improving design predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u30fbNext-Generation Semiconductor Interposers (AI &amp; Data Centers)<\/strong><br>Minimizes losses associated with ultra-high-speed transmission. By optimizing the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE: 10), it reduces thermal stress on surrounding components, ensuring highly reliable connectivity for large-die assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u30fbHigh-Reliability Ceramic Packages<\/strong><br>Achieves both a thinner profile and high robustness with a high flexural strength of 370 MPa (approximately 1.5 times higher than conventional products).
