Functional coatings

Functional coatings play a vital role in achieving specific properties such as sinterability, solderability, or electrical insulation, enhancing the functionality of surfaces. At Bte, we offer a diverse range of functional coatings tailored to meet various requirements.

Functional coatings that we apply include, for example: 

• Copper (Cu)
• Gold (Au)
• Silver (Ag)
• Aluminium (Al)
• Further on request and according to applicability.

These functional coatings serve multiple purposes, including improving sinterability, solderability, or electrical conductivity. They facilitate bonding processes, such as the attachment of power modules, or printed circuit boards to heat sinks through methods like sintering or bonding. Moreover, functional coatings contribute to electrical insulation and shielding against electromagnetic interference waves.

Furthermore, they address thermal management concerns by optimising heat dissipation and thermal conductivity. Functional coatings can also be utilised to create adhesive layers and composite structures, enhancing overall performance and versatility.
