Description

Now completely revised, the 2nd Edition of the Handbook of Thick Film Technology contains around 75% new material.

Thick Film Technology has been with us for many years, and became popular the 1970's, and has been in continuous use ever since. The difference between Thick and Thin Film is not so much the thickness of the film, but the method of application; Thick Film is screen-printed using a mesh and squeegee technique.

In 1976 we published The Handbook of Thick Film Technology by Holmes and Loasby, which rapidly became the standard industry text on the subject. In the rapidly changing world of microelectronics few things last for long, but despite publishing our book Thick-Film Technology and Applications in 1999, the original 25-year old handbook still continued to sell.

The second edition has now been written, and we no longer offer the first. Remarkably, we still regularly get sales enquiries for the 25-year old first edition. Unlike Thin Film, it seems that quality information is very hard to find on Thick Film, and The Handbook of Thick Film is the book that gets recommended.

The second edition is completely revised.
