Kovar Single Clad Copper Bond Pads

COINING’s Kovar Single Clad Copper Bond Pads are used in high-reliability applications. Within the clad contains two different pieces, and the substrate in the middle. Kovar is the substrate with a thin copper clad layer. The copper (bottom) layer  is used to solder to a circuit board.
