Advances in aerospace technologies demand new ways to package electronics for high temperature and harsh environments. One packaging method of interest in academia and industry is Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC). LTCC is a multi-layer design and packaging system that can embed passive components and thermal management structures within a substrate. This thesis compiles research done to evaluate LTCC as a high-performance electronic packaging technique by determining the performance of embedded passives and thermal management structures at temperatures from -55°C to 225°C. The passive structures and thermal management structures are evaluated using theoretical calculations, simulations, and measurements of fabricated devices.
